Are These Classic Paris Spots Worth The Hype? - Paris - The Infatuation

"Verdict: It doesn’t qualify as the best brasserie in town, but it’s one of the most fun and iconic. Aside from the comforting classics, the main draw is the extended hours– seafood and steak simply taste better in the wee hours of the morning. What makes this post-war brasserie beloved by locals is that it’s one of the last remaining spots in town that stay open 24/7, or nearly as the staff gets to snooze from 5am to 8am. Have an itch for best-in-class onion soup at 1am? A seafood platter at 4am? Or maybe pig’s trotter—among the house’s porky specialties—served with crisp fries mid-morning? Come here. This bustling institution first opened in 1947 in Les Halles, and has been a reliable presence ever since. Parisians, tourists galore, and night owls come for the legend as much as for the varied menu, delivered to the table with a pig snout so you know what you’re in for." - lindsey tramuta
