Bistros of Paris

Fully revised and updated, this popular guide captures the true character and flavor of the most intimate and affordable eating places Paris has to offer. Ranging from the traditional to the newly fashionable, these bistros and wine bars are arranged by arrondissement (neighborhood) and are rated for their quality and reliability. The first two sections of the guide list individual bistros and describe the characteristics that make each establishment unique--special dishes, regional wines, and points of interest in the area. The third section offers a glossary of dishes and menu terms that describes ingredients and preparations so you know exactly what to order. A final section provides a cross-reference to find the particular dish you want from the place that prepares it best.
