L'Ébauchoir
A genuine quartier bistro behind the Aligre market, working through trout gravlax, slow lamb shoulder and a chocolate torte that regulars treat as non-negotiable. The carte rewrites itself often; the lunch deal is where the value sits.
Come at midday — the lunch menu runs on Saturday too, and the evening carte climbs quickly. Book ahead.
