Le Baron Rouge-12th arrondissement

in Bistros & Restos 11th to 15th Arr.

At the end of a morning of shopping for Sunday dinner at the Marché d’Aligre I can often be found sipping a glass of red from the extensive list of wines, some for as little as 2.5 euros a glass, accompanied by a plate of rillettes de porc with a bowl of cornichons that could easily satisfy two persons at this local institution.

Empty wine barrels serve as tables and the Baron is always alive with shoppers like myself whose palates have been tempted by the abundance of colorful and mouth-watering pleasures that fill the groaning stands of the market.

 

If you have a bigger appetite opt for the combination charcuterie/cheese plates at 8 euros and fill an empty bottle (provided for 50 centimes) from one of the Baron’s barrels of wine for your Sunday dinner.

Bistros

No one should have a bad meal in Paris! Whether a 2-star restaurant or a local bistro there should always be an excellent rapport qualité prix– relationship between price and quality. At my favorites you will be treated as a regular and have a satisfying experience. Just tell them  “Terrance sent you.”
