PrintThe New Bistronomy in Paris
'Bistronomy' combines the words "bistro" and "gastronomy." In France, bistros are "a traditional synonym for casual, inexpensive dining" and now the best are serving really great food at decent prices, and in a less stuffy atmosphere than a Michelin two or three-star restaurant. I haven't tried any of the new bistronomy places mentioned in this article, but I'm digging the term. It's like a French "gastropub," and it makes me think about New York's Ssäm Bar: casual and fun, but amazing food. Is bistronomy the right term, or is this simply what all restaurants should be?

Ooh, I went to Le Comptoir during my spring break for a late lunch (turns out no one eats at 4PM, which was why we planned it that way) and it was pretty awesome. My friend had this braised beef stew with macaroni thing, a simple hearty dish that was just...really freakin' good...damn, STOP REMINDING ME OF HOW AWESOME PARIS IS!
