L’Escargot is one of the great typical French restaurants that is really worth trying. Found in the 1st district, 38 rue Montorgueil (Metro Etienne Marcel) you will find yourself in what one can only describe as a lovely old fashioned Parisian bistro.
Menus start at €24 and go to €73 beautifully comprised of starter, main course, desert and wines. L’Escargot was opened in 1875 and served snails in every recipe possible. In 1919 a certain Mr André Terrail bought the restaurant and decided to turn it into one of the best restaurants in Paris. Now-days you will find it beautifully decorated with period features and the fast unfriendly service that these types of bistros are famous for. On the menu you will find steak and chips, apple tatin and all the regular French dishes. I recommend trying the “Blanquette de Veau” beautiful tender cubes of veal slowly cooked in a cream sauce over the open fire!.
