Benoît, Paris

This traditional French bistrot only changed hands once in 80 years. So of course the venue is packed with memories and good food is the only valid creed around here ! With Mr and Mrs Petit, you are in good hands. Dishes are traditional and refined, such as the duck pâte, the chicken liver parfait, the velvet crab soup, the blanquette of veal knuckle, the cassoulet with fresh beans, the roast pigeon, and finally Profiteroles or a home-made tart with fresh fruit. As for the wine list, it is well-supplied.
