Les Gourmands |

Les Gourmands is one of my favorite restaurants in Paris, located in the 14th Arrondissement about 10 minutes by foot from the Gare Montparnasse. The owners, Nathalie and Philippe, are extremely friendly-- not to mention very talented--cooks. The restaurant is relatively unknown to the foreign traveler crowd and is frequented mostly by locals. It is a little slice of the French countryside amidst the bustling city.
The cuisine here is a perfect representation of the best of southwest France (see website for menu). Specialties are the cassoulet (traditional southwestern dish made with different kinds of meat) and magret de canard (duck breast). Desserts are incredibly good. Keep in mind that the portions are generous...they don't take it kindly if you aren't able to clean your plate.
I would suggest going with someone who speaks French as the menu is quite traditional and the staff in general does not speak English. You will not be disappointed!
