Bistro Allard "in two hours, forget all the worries of the world"
This is the heart of St Germain des Prés, rue Saint André des Arts, the former "Halte de l'Eperon" has become, more than 80 years ago, the Bistro Allard, under the leadership of Fernande, one of these "mothers cookers" who gave their soul to these restaurants from another time.
The house has joined the fold of the Alain Ducasse Group and a young chef in the Bistrot Allard found a joy of living that is good to rediscover.
Founded in 1932 by Marthe Allard and her husband, the Bistro Allard has remained a family affair in the 60s, it is their son Andrew and his wife Fernande who took up the torch and make the address a benchmark .
Two Michelin hats crown generous Burgundy cuisine , which is run gourmets who flock there to feast on frog legs, duck with olives, roasted Bresse chicken or coq au vin ... More than 80 years later, nothing has changed .
Or two small rooms, where we take the time to talk , delighting a beef cheek with a spoon or revenue Ms. Allard . People would be surprised to see Maupassant and Flaubert cross the doorstep to greet the company entering the kitchen .
The hallmark of the place owes nothing to marketing. On the walls , pictures of Madame Allard stand guard, with the menu of the 30s where we specify , for all intents and purposes here " everything is good " .
Bistro Allard is a good restaurant , it is a place of memory , a kind of flaw in spacetime . There is a special atmosphere , a subtle blend of etiquette weathered by years .
