The Bistros, Brasseries, and Wine Bars of Paris: Everyday Recipes from the Real Paris

You can spend years in Paris and never hear the same answer twice to the question: What is the difference among a bistro, a brasserie, and a wine bar? You would, however, find little disagreement about the virtues the three have in common. Together they nourish the Paris of Parisians - the real and everyday Paris - with local food, sophistication, hospitality, and romance. If a routine Tuesday night dinner out in Paris is superior to a festive Saturday splurge nearly anywhere else, it is a happy consequence of the wonderful habit Paris's very best bistros, brasseries, and wine bars have of making the ordinary extraordinary and the extraordinary ordinary. Follow Daniel Young, acclaimed author of The Paris Café Cookbook, as he leads a tour of this Paris of Parisians by way of its definitive eating spots.
