Le Cherche Midi in Paris's 6e is the neighbourhood Italian trattoria the Saint-Germain set treats as a canteen. Hand-rolled pasta cooked to order, daily.
OrderWhatever filled pasta is on the daily menu, the tiramisu, a glass of Sangiovese.
TipOpen seven days. Lunch is the steal; the prix fixe lands under €25 with coffee.
Polidor in Paris has run a Latin-Quarter bistro at the same address since 1845. The carte still holds bœuf bourguignon, blanquette de veau, tarte tatin.
OrderBœuf bourguignon in winter, tarte tatin with crème fraîche, a pichet of red.
TipCash preferred. The shared tables are part of the experience; come at 19:30 to share with strangers.
Bouillon Chartier has run a workers' canteen of a brasserie in Paris's 9e since 1896. The menu still puts œuf mayonnaise on for less than €3.
OrderŒuf mayonnaise, hachis Parmentier, baba au rhum.
TipThe queue moves; arrive at 11:30 for lunch or 18:30 for dinner and you sit fast.
Bouillon Pigalle in Paris reopened the bouillon model in 2017 and now seats 300 with no reservation, no shortcut, a mains-under-€12 daily menu.
OrderPoulet rôti, frites maison, île flottante with caramel.
TipQueue from 19:00 for dinner; the line moves and tables turn every 45 minutes.
Le Petit Vendôme in Paris's 2e makes the city's most-cited jambon-beurre and feeds the Place Vendôme jeweller staff at lunch from 11:30 every weekday.
OrderJambon-beurre on baguette tradition; the daily plat for under €18.
TipStanding at the bar is faster than a table; sandwiches travel well to the gardens.
Chez Paul in Paris's 11e has run a corner bistro at the same Charonne address since 1908. The carte changes by season; the bistro chairs do not.
OrderBeef tartare cut by hand, cassoulet in winter, profiteroles for dessert.
TipClosed Sundays. The pavement terrace is the best seat from May to September.
