Since all the big boys are publishing their lists of preferred places to eat that have opened over the past 12 months, academic year, rentree-rentree, however you want to call it, I thought now was a good time to put together a list of my top bistros since the rentree 2011 (like Humpty Dumpty, I define bistro as just “what I choose it to mean — neither more nor less.”):
L’Office (with its Master Chef leaving at this very moment almost)
Au Passage (alas now without its chef celebre)
Sens Uniques
Racines 2
Le Galopin
Neva Cuisine
La Tute
Les Canailles
Le Cabanon de l'Ecailler
Terroir Parisien
Cantine du Troquet Dupleix
Le Clocher de Montmartre
Flora
L'Apibo
Philippe Excoffier
Briasenville
