Paris
When food writers list Paris' best bistros, Paul Bert's name consistently pops up. The timeless decor and classic dishes, such as steak-frites (steak and chips) and hazelnut-cream Paris-Brest pastry, reward booking ahead. Siblings in the same street: L’Écailler du Bistrot for seafood; La Cave Paul Bert, a wine bar with small plates; and Le 6 Paul Bert for modern cuisine.
Produce for all three restaurants is grown on its farm in Normandy.
