Le bosquet saint benoît « Anciennement au pied de fouet » Bistro traditionnel français is a small bistro in Saint-Germain-des-Prés that serves traditional French home cooking. Onion soup, duck confit, and beef bourguignon with creamy mashed potatoes are the signature dishes. Food does not take long to arrive, and guests without a reservation can be seated upstairs. The dining room is small, so seating is limited.
