Lonely Planet review for L’Échaudé

This classic little bistro has a refreshingly relaxed and nonstuffy waitstaff. All the classics are on offer – including duck confit, steak frites (steak with French fries), fresh fish of the day and braised lamb shank –along with more daring options like Cornish hen with braised shrimp, and pan-fried foie gras with grilled mushrooms. All come beautifully plated to the table and bursting with flavor, which is why L’Échaudé is one of the rare places in the Old Town where locals regularly outnumber tourists. The terrific wine list favors bottles from France.

    Excellent, but pricey

    cbandes recommends this,

    They have two menus, la marche and le bistro - the marche menu is quite pricey, starting around $30 - the bistro is far from cheap, but more reasonable, and nearly everyone around us (ourselves included) seemed to be ordering off that menu. We had the steak and fries and the bouillabaisse, both were excellent. The atmosphere was fantastic, definitely recommended.
