Sud – Ouest Monceau

Casual dining France Good Paris

If you search for a “hidden treasure” in Paris only known by the locals, here is my insider tip. It is a place that is strangely not listed in any important guides (I checked Zagat and Gault Millau-it is not there), yet it probably serves the best cassoulet in Paris. And even if Sud-Ouest Monceau (8 rue Messonier,75017, tel 0147631507) is “hidden” behind its boutique, it is always full. No surprise why, the Sud-Ouest specialities, including cassoulet, are excellent, the service is warm and the prices are very attractive. Only joy!
