Read an old travel guide to France, and you’ll likely find mention of les routiers. At these roadside restaurants catering to truckers, grub was classic, cheap, and good. And despite the absence of any highway running through the trendy 11th arrondissement, Aux Bons Crus evokes these restaurants of yore.
Le Petit Sommelier is a rare high-quality non-stop brasserie with a 1000-reference-strong wine list.
This modern, inexpensive brasserie offers classic French fare near Gare du Nord.
