Frommer's Review

Crémerie Polidor is the most traditional bistro in the Odéon area, serving cuisine familiale. Its name dates from the early 1900s, when it specialized in frosted cream desserts, but the restaurant can trace its history to 1845. The Crémerie was André Gide's favorite, and Joyce, Hemingway, Valéry, Artaud, and Kerouac also dined here. Peer beyond the lace curtains and brass hat racks to see drawers where in olden days, regular customers used to lock up their cloth napkins. Try the day's soup followed by kidneys in Madeira sauce, boeuf bourguignon, confit de canard, or blanquette de veau. For dessert, order a chocolate, raspberry, or lemon tart.
