Publisher's Synopsis
The bistros of Paris are the small restaurants where Parisians eat their everyday meals. Bistro food has survived all the passing fads and fashions of French cuisine because homemade pate, wine stews and open fruit pie are never out of fashion. The price of bistro food makes it attractive to all ages from students to older visitors interested in good value.;Gaston Wijnen, in this first English language edition of this guide introduces his personal choice of over 60 of these neighbourhood bistros, which few non-Parisians might ever find for themselves. Maps and advice on practical details such as reserving a table in French help the visitor to beat a path to these comparatively hidden doors.
