Au Vieux Chêne in Paris: Sustainable, seasonal, delicious bistro food.
Au Vieux Chêne is a typical French bistro serving traditional food. The restaurant owners are against intensive agricultural practices and the ingredients they use are seasonal to ensure freshness and quality. The food is delicious, whether it be the plate of charcuterie (16€), the suckling lamb shoulder for two, served with a perfect gratin dauphinois and some mixed greens (48€/2 people) or the monkfish cheeks on a bed of buttery spinach that melts in your mouth (24€). “A meal without wine is like a day without sun” says a sign on one of the restaurant’s walls. At Au Vieux Chêne the wines and the Champagnes are excellent and very reasonably priced (wines go from 14€ to 120€ a bottle). Whether simple or elaborate, the dishes are always carefully crafted. For a less expensive meal try their lunch menu: 14€ (appetizer+main dish or main dish+dessert) or 17€ (appetizer+main dish+dessert), and respectively 28€ or 33€ for dinner menus.
For dinner, I recommend making a reservation.
