Archetypal stamping ground for habitués of the courts, this cosy, rus in urbe retreat presses all the right buttons for a tasty lunch or dinner as well as after work drinks and snacks. The wine cellar is well stocked and there's a chef's table if that's your brief.
Follow oysters, beef tartare or crevettes with cote de boeuf, tarragon chicken or risotto. A notable two course set lunch means you can be in and out within the hour and the wine list ticks all the classical French boxes. No nonsense dining and a happy break on some of the very high prices found in the fancier eateries around town.
