Chez Papa

Chez Papa serves all sorts of specialities of the southwest, including cassoulet (€17.95), pipérade (€15.40) and garbure (€18.05), but most diners are here for the famous salade Boyarde, an enormous bowl filled with lettuce, tomato, sautéed potatoes, two types of cheese and ham – all for the princely sum of €8.90 (or €9.75 if you want two fried eggs thrown in). There’s a Grands Boulevards branch ([tel] 01 40 13 07 31; 153 rue Montmartre, 2e; [metro] Grands Boulevards) and a 8e branch ([tel] 01 42 65 43 68; 29 rue de l’Arcade, 8e; [metro] St-Augustin), which open noon to midnight Sunday to Thursday and till 1am at the weekend.
