About this spot
La Robe et le Palais in Latin Quarter is a proper Parisian bistro — the kind with handwritten menus, zinc bar, and a plat du jour that changes with whatever was fresh at the market this morning.
💡 Tips before you go
- The plat du jour (dish of the day) is usually the best value and freshest option
- Bread is free — use it to soak up the sauce (this is expected, not rude)
- "Un café" after the meal is espresso, not drip coffee
