Local cuisineLocals' pick

A bistrot in a 1900 pharmacy near rue de Cîteaux and the Saint-Antoine hospital that kept its wood panelling, tiles and pulley dumbwaiter, now with a marble-and-copper counter. MICHELIN's Bib Gourmand praises current, generous cooking on quality produce; the Lebey guide called it one of the best bistrots in the city.
