This semiformal yet rustic restaurant serves a distinct taste of old France. Very popular among Parisians as it serves some of the city's best cuisine from the southern Auvergne region of France, such as pig's feet, lamb stew, country sausage, black pudding and hearty cheese platters. Try the powerful digestif liqueurs. Daily for lunch and dinner. Reservations recommended. $$-$$$. Most major credit cards. 22 Rue de Grenier St. Lazare (3rd; Metro Rambuteau), Paris.
