Restaurants

19 C3

L'Assiette market leader
181 rue du Château, 14ème • 01 43 22 64 86
Open lunch & dinner Wed-Sun
Unquestionably elitist, L'Assiette attracts bourgeois
diners who find it amusing to pay through the nose
for bistro cooking in a bare-wood setting. The fact
remains, however, that chef Lulu draws on the finest
ingredients and her food is delicious. The puddings
are the kind maman might make. Expensive

14 F3

Le Père Claude excellent grill
51 avenue de la Motte-Piquet, 15ème • 01 47 34 03 05
Open lunch & dinner daily
Meat-lovers are well catered for in Paris but nowhere
more so than at this caramel-coloured local with its
glassed-in grill bar. The protein-strong mixed grill
comes with steak, black pudding, lamb and chicken,
and golden gratinéed potatoes. A perennial favourite
with omnivorous French politicians. Moderate

L'Os à Moëlle &
La Cave de l'Os à Moëlle local heroes
3 rue Vasco de Gama, 15ème • 01 45 57 27 27;
181 rue Lourmel, 15ème • 01 45 57 28 28 • Q Lourmel
Open lunch & dinner Tue-Sat

Chef Thierry Faucher produces food that is consistently
attractive, satisfying and reasonably priced. Lunch and
dinner are a pre-fixed (32€) blackboard affair, and
might include velvety cauliflower soup ladled over
roasted thyme and crispy croutons, foie gras coated in
gingerbread crumbs, or roast pigeon with chestnuts.
The four-course lunch menu offers several choices,
while the indulgent six-course dinner menu is pre set.
In contrast, the casual and cheaper La Cave de l'Os
à Moëlle, opposite, features three communal tables
and a 20€-buffet (you can have seconds and thirds) of
robust fare. Terrines, bowls of olives and sea snails, a
tureen of steaming soup and one main-course choice,
such as pheasant with lentils, plus cheese, desserts
and good-value wine are all included. Moderate
