Best Place to Pretend You're in Paris

"The Butler and the Chef Bistro has recreated the ambiance of a Parisian cafe where time is lost in conversation and contemplation."

"In a city that spoils us with endless good food, there are some places we just can't live without. ...holed up at a cozy corner bistro table at The Butler & The Chef... ... I whiled away the rest of the afternoon over creamy cafés au lait and crusty baguettes. Ever since then it's become my absolute favorite retreat. ...I'll order a hearty onion soup gratinée or a gooey croque monsieur..."

"...the kind of sunny, animated cafe you would find on a narrow side street in the Marais, near the Bastille..."

This minuscule, tres Francais treasure serves up a surprisingly satisfying slice of Paris in the form of to-die-for breakfast pastries as well as memorable crepes and excellent sandwiches at lunch; the sunny, street side seating area overlooks the urban oasis of South Park.
