I remember a Sunday afternoon meal at this wonderful bistro with my darling husband and my kids a year ago. ... Bloomberg, the thrice re-elected mayor of NY also prefers it.... http://www.nytimes.com/2009/11/19/nyregion/19paris.html
Okay, I feel ashamed I don't even know this one, but I guess now we'll have to try it, seeing as it is supposedly just a few feet from chez nous. Actually, on the map, numéro 8 is down a bit, just a few meters short of the 5th, where the rue de Vaugirard gets lively near the Boul' Mich. La Ferrandaise—located near the Sorbonne and frequented by scholarly types, this neighborhood bistro has a charming, effortless appeal. ... I had a pate, boeuf bourguignon, and a chestnut soufflé and could not eat again that day. La Ferrandaise, 8, rue de Vaugirard [From Family of One: Family of One Dines in Paris 2010 ]
A pithy review by John Talbott on a restaurant that sounds a lot closer than it is. ... Le Marcab, 225, rue de Vaugirard in the 15th, 01.43.06.51.66, open 7/7, has a set of menus for 16, 25 and 35 €, plus a la carte items. We have friends who live a short walk from it and invited them to joing us today. Three of them had the 4 course forced choice "menu" for 25 E which is a real bargain and I had the 35 E 3-course one. [From John Talbott's Paris: Le Marcab in the 15th; still very nice.
