Chez Georges is a timeless Parisian bistro in the 2nd arrondissement, at 1 Rue du Mail near the Place des Victoires. Serving the classics of bistro cuisine since the 1920s, it is the genuine article — handwritten menu, traditional dishes, a deep wine list and an atmosphere that has barely changed in decades. For lovers of old Paris, it is a pilgrimage.

## What to expect at Chez Georges

The kitchen turns out unwavering French classics made with fresh produce: beef museau, parsleyed ham, poultry-liver terrine, grilled turbot with béarnaise, the house sole and a baba au rhum to finish. Service is brisk and professional in the proper bistro tradition, and the wine choice is generous. It is not reinventing anything — that is precisely the point. Open weekdays only, it remains a favourite of those seeking the real, unfussy taste of classic Paris.
