Chez André is one of the neighborhood's favorite bistros with an ambience that evokes France in the 1950s and a clientele that includes everyday folk, as well as some of the most prosperous residents of this extremely upscale neighborhood. Outside, a discreet red awning stretches over an array of shellfish on ice; inside, an Art Nouveau decor includes etched glass and masses of flowers. This has been a landmark on rue Marbeuf since 1937. It remains as it was when it was founded (thanks to an agreement made with the original owners). The old-style cuisine on the menu includes pâté of thrush, frogs' legs, grilled veal kidneys, roast rack of lamb, fresh shellfish, and on Fridays, bouillabaisse. Several reasonably priced wines are offered as well.
