Three hundred or so years ago, the great French chef Vatel threw himself on his sword when a shipment of fish for the king's dinner failed to arrive on time. More recently, one of his descendants, a chef in a well-known Paris restaurant, committed the same act, over a little matter involving the Guide Michelin, which had taken away one of his establishment's stars. If you want great food, but you'd rather it didn't become a matter of life or death, try a bistro. A bistro chef would just joke about the bad taste of the Michelin man. In Paris by Bistro, Christine and Dennis Graf give a bistro-by-bistro tour of Paris and recommend places to find wonderful food, service, and atmosphere, as well as how to avoid overpriced tourist traps. Peppered with the personal anecdotes and cultural history that made her Cafes of Paris so successful, Paris by Bistro is an invaluable guide for anyone who wants to enjoy eating in Paris. And who doesn't?
