First opened in Paris in 1908, Le Chardenoux restaurant is one of the last true Parisian bistrots in existance, it is a real historical monument.

Taken over by the chef in September  2008, this bistrot offers first of all a panorama of decorative arts : the walls are dressed with mirrors, while  the windows  are adorned with engraved glass in order to give clients some privacy. Inside, a wood and glass half partition seperates the bar from the inner room, a much quieter place  which is set with tables and chairs. Outside, a wrought iron awning welcomes  the clients. The spectacular bar  is a marble mosaic.,where fourteen different types of marble are skilfully  moulded and jig-sawed together.

The pewter on the bar dates from the post-war period as the original pewter was requisitioned by the German army to make  ammunition.Everything evokes the setting of a place full of memories and life.

Cyril Lignac once again honours traditional regional products and French cuisine specialities, while at the same time adding a modern twist.
The chef offers typical dishes : « Snails, garlic butter, fines herbes ; Andouillette, mashed potato purée ; regional sausage, Aligot cheese ; generous portions of rum baba, served with fresh homemade whipped cream… »

For the wine list, Jérôme Moreau, formerly the head Sommelier of the Bristol hotel, has elaborated a wine cellar which represents the finest French wine regions.
All is there to accompany the generous and gourmand cuisine.
