PIERRE AT THE FONTAINE GAILLON
It’s an obvious choice for dinner. Cosy, good lighting & relatively intime, the cuisine in unfussy, pure & generally top notch. Wine list most satisfactory. Owned by Gerrard Depardieu, who also has the very cute 'Ecailler' just the other side of the place, Pierre can draw the 'in crowd.' Lovely terrace in front of the fountain for the summer.

LA FABLE DE LA FONTAINE

T: +33/(0)1.44.18.37.55
La Fable de la Fontaine in the 7th is minuscule, but unlike most French bistrots du genre has avoided the temptation to pack in an extra 3 couverts. Decorated in chocolate and orange tones, la Fable offers some beautifully prepared, mainly fish based dishes with cutting edge appeal. The wine list is generous and well chosen.
