Au Trou Gascon Review

Years ago, chef Alain Dutournier's parents mortgaged their Gascony inn to allow him to open an early 1900s-style bistro in a little-known part of the 12th arrondissement. Word spread quickly about Dutournier's authentic cuisine moderne and his exciting cave containing several little-known wines along with a fabulous collection of Armagnacs. Foie gras and Gascony-cured ham make for great starters, and delicious main dishes include a roast shoulder of milk-fed Pyrenées lamb with carrot flan, sautéed scallops with pumpkin, and Cassoulet made with duck, pork, lamb, and sausage.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
