13th Arrondissement
L'Ourcine
A burgundy front with white trim and a round metal sign bearing the name "L'Ourcine" marks this gourmet bistro on Rue Broca in the Thirteenth Arrondissement. White walls and white napkins with accent stripes contrast with the wood tables and chairs. A blackboard lists the current menu of local French fare from Chef Sylvain Danire, such as fish and seasonal game and produce. A prix fixe menu with wine pairings is available, and the dessert menu offers numerous très bon chocolate options, such as dumpling-like quenelles.
Insider Tip:
If you're visiting Paris in July or August, call ahead to see if L'Ourcine is open, as this is prime vacation time for the owners.
