Tucked away in a small street behind the Ecole Militaire in the seventh, D'Chez Eux is a hardy stalwart of Paris' traditional bistro culture. Offering a fine, uncomplicated classic French cuisine, with specialties such as home-made charcuterie, cassoulet , cote de boeuf, well-chosen wines, fine cheeses, etc. The starter of huge garlic-butter infused Burgundy snails (served sans shells) was superb, the fresh white asparagus in a white vinagrette gargantuan, and the crispy-skinned roast coquelet with tarragon cream sauce simply perfect. The cheese plate was small but well chosen with St. Nectaire, camembert, roquefort, etc, and the crowning dessert the best chocolate mousse in Paris (sorry no picture..)

mmmmh. I miss french food. It's just so much better than most of the american food I have to eat. :( I'm jealous.
have fun eating more excellent food!
Thanks! Nice to know that I have at least one reader!
This is my favourite in all of Paris for lunch! Shame no photo of the Mousse du Chocolat. Their desserts are phenomenal!
Excellent and delicious meals so I'd like to prepare Burgundy snails and garlic butter sauce because it's something new for me.
