Bistrot des Tournelles

Nostalgia is the ultimate comfort blanket of our time. It reassures us by casting a positive glow over a past often idealized, as if everything were better before. Among the bistros that remind us of this, this evening haunt stands out. One delights in sautéed oyster mushrooms with parsley, chicken in cream and morels, or a volaille cordon bleu with Comté and Prince de Paris ham. The finale comes with a tarte Tatin or a baba au rhum. The lighting is buttery, the atmosphere serene, and the striking Art Deco-style mural of a wine-soaked nymph ensures the evening can only be a success.
