We're savoring a comforting autumn recipe at Beaucé

It's one of the best bistros in Paris, and even François-Régis Gaudry says so : in June 2024, Beaucé's menu was tested by the famous food critic and his team of experts as part of a show dedicated to bistros, these places that are sincere and popular that bring together and revisit the classics of French cuisine. The restaurant led by Marius Benard took third place, particularly for its poached calf's brain in butter.tronné. We will add to the list of must-try dishes the incredibly tender beef tongue and the perfectly executed duck breast from Périgord, to be paired with a carefully selected bottle of wine by the venue's team. Between tradition and modernity, from the decor to the plate, meat lovers will absolutely adore dining at Beaucé!
