“ Come to the room that is directly behind the bar as you walk it. We have it to ourselves. ”
Au Petit Riche
No, that's not Flaubert or Balzac walking through the door, but should they miraculously return, the decor of old Paris, with the original gas lamps and time-mellowed paneling, will make them feel at home. This place opened in 1865 as the restaurant associated with the very large and then-solvent Café Riche next door. After the Café burned down, the restaurant continued to attract lawyers, set designers, and machinists from the nearby Opéra Garnier, eventually becoming a well-known restaurant. Charles Aznavour is an occasional patron, along with politicians and anyone interested in the nostalgia of La Vieille France. Expect an impressive roster of Loire Valley wines and food that combines Loire Valley classics with traditional French fare. Examples include roasted rack of veal prepared à l'ancienne, a long-standing house special of tartare of beef, roasted whitefish in meat drippings, and seasonal game dishes such as civet of rabbit.
The price of 48 euro includes oysters to start with, steak with pepper sauce, wine, water and dessert (and the tip). (The restaurant requires all groups to order the same menu).
Métro: Le Peletier or Richelieu-Drouot

“ Great bunch of people. i prefer the more traditional fare at Au Petit Riche. My meat was a bit tough. ” -
“ Too bad so many in the group voted for the cheapest meal - although the steak was pretty good, I'm sure we would have gotten a better meal with a more expensive menu. Great company! ” -
“ Got to meet some interesting characters ” -
