5. Le Bistrot du Sommelier
Cozy and understated, Le Bistrot du Sommelier in the City Hall area is a favourite among those who love honest bistro cooking and a grand wine list. Rustic dishes like beef cheek braised in red wine, frog legs, and escargots speak to hearty French everyday cuisine. The service is discreet but knowledgeable, especially when it comes to wine pairing. With limited seating and communal spirit, dining here feels intimate and deeply satisfying.
