Les Arlots

"The neighborhood near the Gare du Nord train station is nondescript, and this tiny bistro à vins packs its clients in like sardines. No one minds the humdrum location or the crowd, though, because the restaurant serves some of the best and most reasonably priced French comfort food in Paris. Chef Thomas Brachet’s chalkboard menu changes daily but always offers an irresistible mix of contemporary dishes — like a salad of green beans, apricots, speck, and fresh almonds, or John Dory meuniere with vegetable accras (beignets) — and traditional options, which may include langoustines with house-made mayonnaise, or the best sausage and potato puree in Paris. The stuffed cabbage and rice pudding with cinnamon and orange shouldn’t be missed either. Be sure to book a few days ahead of time. Located in the 10th arrondissement."

"Located in the 10th arrondissement of Paris, Les Arlots is a cozy bistro known for its warm atmosphere and traditional French cuisine. It’s celebrated for its comfort food and friendly service. Must try: Enjoy the pâté en croûte (a savory meat pie) and their braised beef cheeks. For dessert, the homemade rice pudding is a standout."

"Nestled in the lively neighborhood of SoPi (South Pigalle), Les Arlots is a cozy bistro celebrated for its creative, market-driven cuisine. Indulge in dishes like pan-seared foie gras and roasted bone marrow, expertly paired with selections from their impressive wine list."
