A real institution, the bistro Au Petit Riche, open since 1854, remains true to its fundamental values while sending a new breeze wafting through its menu, enriching it with new gastronomic recipes, more contemporary and reflecting the seasons : pan-fried monkfish with curcuma, truffle “croque-monsieur”, casserole-baked vegetables… To quench your thirst, some 300 references in the cellar, with one of the capital’s finest lists of wines from the Loire Valley. Much appreciated : the intimate little lounge hidden behind the bar, with royal blue velvet benchseats, and the pretty terrace running along the wooden facade. Au Petit Riche, 25 rue Le Peletier, Paris 9 (01 47 70 68 68).
