This no-reservations spot from chef Christian Constant offers simple, hearty, Southwestern-accented French staples: lomo ham with cauliflower, cod roasted with chorizo and white beans, lamb shoulder confit with potatoes, tomatoes and onions, all served in the restaurant's namesake mini cast-iron pots, which customers can purchase. Breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner are served at a long brushed-steel counter. Best of all, the place is within strolling distance of the Eiffel Tower.

From the May 2008 Food & Wine Go List

At this dressed-down spot, chef Christian Constant, of Le Violon d'Ingres and Café Constant, bakes a half-dozen Southwestern-accented French dishes in mini Staub cast-iron pots (cocottes), which customers can purchase. Breakfast, lunch, snacks and dinner are served at a long brushed-steel counter; the place is ideal for a meal within strolling distance of the Eiffel Tower.

We loved: Lamb shoulder confit with potatoes, tomatoes and onions.
