It is in the busy 5th district, that you can relish the most incredibly delicious versions of the two most popular staples of french dining; Coq au vin and Boeuf Bourgignon. Chez René is a well known institution for these staples as well as other incredible bistro style fare. The influence is Lyonnaise style dishes with a “Belle epoque” décor that exemplifies the original owners Beaujolais heritage and fascination with all things epicurean. The new owners have embraced the same quality of feasting and taking it even to another level. These might even be the best frites in Paris and the chocolate mousse should really be the dictionary definition of one of the most notorious of the deadly sins; gluttony.
