Les Papilles Restaurant Review:


This wine bar and bistro in the 5th arrondissement serves flavorful fare with a heavy Southern accent. The Provençale soupe aïgo is alone worth a visit. This simple concoction of lightly sautéed diced potatoes, orange zest and garlic is seasoned with saffron, cooked in milk and served with crispy croutons, black olive tapenade, chives, red pepper and diced candied orange --- a delicacy. A large selection of well-priced wines, especially from the southwest of France, is chosen with care. Be sure to reserve in advance as tables in this sought-after spot are limited. Prix-fixe menu at €31.
