Allard

"In the heart of bustling Saint Germain des Près, this authentic Parisian bistro, dripping in charm and now part of the Ducasse empire, has changed very little since it opened in 1932. The culinary score wavers between bistro fare and heroic brasserie staples: snails in parsley, butter and garlic, pâté en croûte, sole meunière, profiteroles. Attractive lunchtime menu." - Michelin Inspector

"Allard is among the last-of-its-kind classic gourmet (if ever there were an apt if antiquated word) bistros you come back to again and again. "Here, beauty is both in the room and on the plate," says Mimi Thorisson. "The duck with green olives is utterly satisfying." Frogs' legs, poached turbot, and duck foie gras are prepared as they should be and without unnecessary or unwanted flourish." - Lindsey Tramuta, Sara Lieberman
