Bona Ventura

17th arr. (Batignolles) · Paris

Chez Léon

Local cuisineLocals' pick

A Batignolles bistrot nearing its hundredth year, where Georges Simenon kept his napkin ring; a Nectoux zinc counter and a brass Commissaire Maigret plaque survive from the old room. Gault&Millau praises a loyal menu: oeuf mayo, saucisse purée, confit suckling pig, and the house lemon tart.
