Travel & holiday; Restaurant, cafe & pub guides

A pocket-sized guide to assist in exploring restaurants and gourmet food shops that have delighted customers for more than a century. From tiny patisseries, cosy bistros and rustic wine bars to bustling brasseries, elegant tea salons and world famous cafes, this is an indispensable guide to classic cuisine served in settings of startling beauty.

The vanished world of nineteenth-century Paris still awaits behind the doors of select restaurants and gourmet shops that have delighted customers for more than a hundred years. Crossing these thresholds, the discriminating diner and shopper can step into a gilded Belle Epoque setting favored by Manet and Degas, a vintage confectioner that supplied bonbons to Monet, or a shaded cafe terrace frequented by Zola. From tiny p tisseries, cozy bistros, and rustic wine bars barely known outside the quarter to bustling brasseries, elegant tea salons, and world-famous cafes, The Historic Restaurants of Paris is an indispensible guide to classic cuisine served in settings of startling beauty. Charming anecdotes relating to a restaurant's history and celebrated former patrons, among them Proust, Balzac, George Sand, and the Impressionists, enhance this pocketable guide, which is both a practical resource and lovely gift book.
