Allard

About

Allard, a Parisian gastronomic institution nestled in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Prés since 1932, embodies the soul of traditional French bistro cuisine. Taken over by Alain Ducasse in 2013, the restaurant perpetuates Marthe Allard's culinary heritage with classic dishes like frog legs, duck with olives, and profiteroles. Chef Lisa Desforges honors historical recipes while adding a contemporary touch. The authentic atmosphere, with red velvet banquettes and wallpapered walls, transports diners to a bygone Paris. A place where traditional French cuisine is celebrated with passion and respect for ancestral techniques.
