What are people's thoughts on Brasserie Bofinger (right near the Place de Vosges).

I think it's about as perfect a brasserie setting as you can find with good but not spectacular brasserie fare.

I liked L'Ambassade D'Auvergene on my "virgin" trip to Paris--it's in the Marais and serves hearty food from Auvergne, including a special potato-Cantal cheese dish. (I think some on egullet do not like this place).

You were there on a good day. On a bad day I got some undercooked sausage (I mean, raw at the core) and a dreadful dessert.

For decent Auvergne fare, though sometimes a bit chi-chi, Chant'Airelle, rue Laplace, near the Panthéon.

Wow--I guess I was-- comparatively at least! :smile: Thanks for the Chant'Airelle recommendation!

"Under the dusty almond trees, ... stalls were set up which sold banana liquor, rolls, blood puddings, chopped fried meat, meat pies, sausage, yucca breads, crullers, buns, corn breads, puff pastes, longanizas, tripes, coconut nougats, rum toddies, along with all sorts of trifles, gewgaws, trinkets, and knickknacks, and cockfights and lottery tickets."

-- Gabriel Garcia Marquez, 1962 "Big Mama's Funeral"
