Chez la Vieille

Frommer's Review

Except on Thursday night, when a clientele of mostly local residents is likely to drop in for dinner, Chez La Vieille serves only lunch. Amid a crush of local office workers and visitors to the nearby Louvre, you'll be served the first course and your dessert from a trolley, and wait for the staff to bring your main course directly from the kitchen. This method evokes a large communal meal in a private home or perhaps a boardinghouse. Starters change with the season and the mood of the staff, and include homemade terrines (there's one made from wild boar), stuffed cabbages and tomatoes, and more. Main courses might include pot-au-feu (beef stew with carrots) or perhaps braised calf's liver.
