Le Bistro de Paris is a lively place where you could easily hide out or run into a celebrity or politician. We suggest starting your meal with a glass of champagne and the classic French raddishes with salt, butter and a crispy baguette. Their bone marrow is out of this world. The Jouet de Beouf is tender a flavorful. And, the profiteroles are just the way to wrap up the meal.
