Charpentiers (aux)

10, rue Mabillon - 75006 Paris

The décor of this grand turn-of-the-century bistrot is visibly devoted to the works of the carpenters' guild, located nearby. People from the nearby publishing houses, savvy students and calf's head connoisseurs (a specialty here) gather in to rub elbows. The atmosphere, as colorful and flavorful as the food, adds to Aux Charpentiers down home appeal.
