"A quintessential Parisian bistro, Le Bon Georges beckons diners with its chalkboard menus, extensive wine list, and unpretentious approach to classic French comfort food (read: steak frites). Despite opening In 2013, the restaurant has a lived-in, classic feel. This is the place to come for a long (and hearty) lunch starring seasonal ingredients from the top local producers, whether you nab a well-worn wooden table inside or a sidewalk spot under the blue awning for people-watching in the 9th arrondissement. Come for a leisurely lunch (even better if it’s a rainy day) so that you can savor the experience, from bread and butter to dessert. Tucked away and casual, it’s the perfect place to bring a friend for a tête-à-tête over wine, cheese, and charcuterie—or a more elaborate multi-course affair." - Melissa Liebling-Goldberg, Julia Eskins
