The famous rice pudding — the best in Paris, no question
♦
“Stéphane Jégo's boisterous Basque-inflected bistro — come hungry, leave transformed.”
Why we love it
This is not a restaurant for small appetites. Stéphane Jégo cooks with the generosity of a Basque grandmother and the technique of a trained chef. The rice pudding dessert is legendary — an entire cast-iron pot arrives at the table, and you will eat all of it. The atmosphere is loud, convivial, and exactly what a great bistro should feel like. Book ahead.
