Polidor

Local cuisine

One of the oldest bistrots in Paris: a crèmerie in the early 19th century, a restaurant since 1890, and the meeting room of the Collège de 'Pataphysique from 1948. Long shared tables and a shopfront unchanged for a century. Order the boeuf bourguignon with mash, then the chocolate mousse.
