Bistro
Le Buisson Ardent. Under new ownership since 2006, this charming bistro across the street from the University of Paris's hideous Jussieu campus is more packed and boisterous than ever. A glance at chef Stéphane Maubuit's EUR 29 set menu makes it easy to understand why. Dishes such as chestnut soup with spice bread, squid with chorizo and creamy quinoa, and quince Tatin (upside-down tart) with mascarpone and pink pralines put a fresh twist on French classics. Bread is made on the premises and if you don't finish your bottle of wine, you can take it with you to savor the last drops.
