A charming wine shop, delicatessen and restaurant near the Luxembourg Gardens, where wooden tables are wedged in between shelves loaded with produce, preserves and wine. Pick any wine off the shelf to accompany your meal for just €7 ($11) more than its take-home price. Owner/chef Bertrand Bluy visits the early-morning markets every day to compose his menus. During the day, choose from a variety of salads, tartines (open-faced sandwiches) and terrines. At night the single, four-course set menu generally starts with soup, followed by a meaty main served in a copper pot. Next is a cheese course and finally a seasonal dessert.
Prix-fixe dinner €32pp ($52) plus wine; €20pp ($33) for lunch plus wine.
