Chaumette

A list of favourite restaurants in Paris I got from a friend came with the notation that Chaumette is the author's family's favourite Paris Bistro, despite its not having a history with Hemmigway. I can see the point. It's a young crew, and chef Tanguy le Gall does an excellent job on classic bistro fare. Near the ever-expanding Radio France HQ, it has only about 30 seats, but a good menu, and the food is well cooked and well presented. One quirky feature is "pommes de mer": little ratté potatoes roasted with a sprinkling of coarse sea salt crystals. A little out of the way but well worth the walk from nearest metro stop. (Wierdly, YouTube has a video of Chaumette, credited to Philippe Noiret.)
