Les Racines - Paris (sitios de interés)
Descripción del sitio
THE GUARDIAN CHEAP BISTROS
Chef Jean-Francois Debre has his own Rive Gauche gourmet restaurant, Chez Maître Paul, but decided a few years ago that he also wanted to open a more simple bistrot, with a relaxed atmosphere where people could eat well without always paying a fortune. And Parisians were obviously looking for this, as Les Racines is full every lunchtime, and was also voted bistrot of the year by France's leading food critic, Gilles Pudlowski. You won't find a prix fixe set menu here, as the chef prefers to concentrate on his different dishes of the day, a hearty meal in themselves. Expect classic favourites like blanquette de veau (veal stew) and slowly simmered beef cheeks, and for warmer summer days, red mullet à la plancha with olive oil mashed potatoes.
· 22 rue Monsieur Le Prince; +33 (0)143260386. Lunch, plat du jour, €12 (£10); dinner, a la carte, €20-25 (£16-20). Metro: Odeon.
