Au Pied Du Sacre Coeur
We were at Trocadero, and frankly, more than a little bored with the food we’d eaten the previous evening and that lunchtime – nice, but nothing to write home, or blog about! We decided to ask someone for advice, and Jan asked a passer-by, Clement, where there was either some good ethnic food or really good French food for Parisians instead of tourists, which is certainly what Trocadero was all about.
He told us to go to Lamarck, which he called a Paris equivalent of Greenwich Village. He also travelled with us part of the way there. It turned out that he was one of several very friendly Parisians who made a lie out of what seems to be the accepted wisdom about the people of that city.
As we arrived on the beautiful Rue Lamarck, Jan asked a passer by what she thought was the best restaurant in the area, and she didn’t hesitate. She recommended Au Pied Du Sacre Couer and said we had to have the warm Fois Grois. I had never had it and had no idea it was so cruelly produced, so will never have it again. But wow! It was delicious!
The restaurant is at the foot of a steep flight of stairs which go up to the next street, set in from the street, downhill from the station. And as beautiful as the setting is, the food is just outrageous! I really didn’t want my meal to end, and I have never done this before, but I asked the waiter if I could personally thank the chef, who is also the owner of the place.
If anyone reading this lives in or visits Paris, you really should treat yourself to a meal at this place. With a glass of wine and a coffee, your 2-course meal will cost you about 35 Euro, which is certainly cheaper than considerably inferior restaurants in tourist and business areas, and I would be most surprised if you don’t rate it as one of the best meals you have ever eaten.
