ESCARGOT at POLIDOR
Bistro Polidor has long been famous for its Escargots, which they have boasted for years that they are one of the few bistros in Paris to still serve fresh escargot, and not from a can.
The Crémerie-Restaurant Polidor is a historic restaurant in the 6th arrondissement of Paris. Its predecessor was founded in 1845, and it has had its present name since the beginning of the 20th century. The interior of the restaurant is basically unchanged for over 100 years, and the style of cooking remains that of the late 19th century. The Polidor is located at 41, rue Monsieur-le-Prince in the Odéon area, near the Jardin du Luxembourg. Its name derives from the cream desserts it served in former decades. Most diners sit at long, shared tables, with communal saltcellars and pots of mustard. Its bathroom, unchanged for decades, has been described as "legendary."
In addition to its decor and cuisine, the Polidor is best known for its illustrious clientele. It is said to have been a favourite of André Gide's, as well as hosting James Joyce, Ernest Hemingway, Antonin Artaud, Paul Valéry, Julio Cortázar, Jack Kerouac, and Henry Miller. In 2011, it featured in the film Midnight in Paris by Woody Allen.

BRASSERIE JULIEN
16 Rue du Faubourg , Paris
I ate at Brasserrie on my 1st wonderful trip to Paris in January of 1986, a trip that I had a most wonderful time, and I'd have to say was my favorite Paris trip of all. I fell in love with Paris, and the first time was the charm. I bought a copy of Patricia Wells awesome book, A Food Lovers Guide to Paris, which I read and read and look at the pictures of bistos and cafe I'd go to, with gusto and relish. With this wonderful book, I was ha;f way there. I took notes and plotted which cafes, bistos, and brasserie's that I just had to visit. Among my list of the ones I made it to, were, Cochon L'Orielle, Cafe Duex Maggost, Bistro Polidor, La Coupole, la Select, and Brasserie Julien. pictured above.
I also went to the Brasserie just across the bridge from Notre Dame on Il St Louis.
I believe the brasserie is no longer there. At the time the brasserie was famous for Choucroute Garni, which is what I ate.
