In the words of Bourdain, “everything that makes this place good would be illegal in the states,” yes sir-ee. The meat is seared over the chimney fire, there is normally a dog or two scampering around, the toilet is a real, bonafide outhouse and the owner has no qualms throwing back a few (or 7) drinks with the clientele. Already scared? Well if your an adventurous carnivore then you can surely get your fix at Robert et Louise. In his “how to eat like the locals” documentary, Bourdain rolls up his sleeves, knocks elbows and goes for the big guns over massive rib-eye, head cheese and boudin sausage.

The average meat and wine fest will run you about 40€/person.

    No doubt. I was there last night. The finest place to move time backwards a bit.
    Perfect!

    Love it. I was first taken the R&L by the proprietor of a more conventional Marais bistro. He referred to it as “Les Misérables”.
