Chef Thomas Brachet’s tiny 'bistrot a vins' in the Gare du Nord neighbourhood is a locally kept secret.

The area around Gare du Nord may not be the best, but if U ever find yourself around there then U have got to try this local secret - Les Arlots. 

Parisians pack in here like sardines to have a taste of talented chef Thomas Brachet's comforting cuisine and wash it down with one of the well-selected wines that make up the wine list. 

The menu changes daily, depending on the day's fresh produce. Have a look at the large chalk board in middle of the room for the day's offers. There is plenty of choice from contemporary French fares like green beans, apricots, speck, and fresh almonds salad, or John Dory meuniere with vegetable accras (beignets); to traditional dishes such as langoustines with homemade mayonnaise, or the restaurant's renowned homemade sausage and potato puree. 

For the foodie adventurer, we recommend - the stuffed cabbage and rice pudding with cinnamon and orange, not to be missed. 

And did we mention that the wine list here is simply - a killer! Do have a look at the wines and vineyards on offer.
