Lonely Planet review

A giant gold snail adorns the forest-green façade of this heritage-listed monument. Snails also feature on the menu, along with frogs' legs, Chateaubriand steak with Béarnaise sauce, veal sweetbreads and whisky-flambéed Breton lobster. Try for the intimate loggia, perched above the entrance like a private box at the theatre. Past guests range from Proust to Bogie and Bacall.
