Mallard, Nice

At Mallard (1 toque), the menu is short and the cuisine simple. Alongside pike quenelle, cassoulet, white asparagus with hollandaise sauce and sweetbreads, you'll find the very best homemade sausage and its purée au jus with a taste of home. If you like natural wine, Mallard also offers a fine menu at reasonable prices.

Where to find us Mallard, 6 rue Maraldi, 0600 Nice

Les Arlots, Paris

When you think "saucisse-purée" in Paris, you inevitably think of Les Arlots (1 toque). In this cheerful setting, where the welcome is always impeccable, you can feast on matured onglet de bœuf, brandade de morue or tripe à la romaine, but above all the unmissable Arlots sausage served with a mousseline of charlottes. All that's left is to accompany the plate with a good glass of wine (the cellar here is top-notch!) to spend a perfect moment in a gavroche atmosphere.

With this menu, he aims to make gastronomy more accessible, without compromising on high standards or quality.
