10 great restaurants close to major Paris train stations

Medio: The Guardians

Didiet Maillet has been running this bistro for 15 years, offering a choice between a hearty €15.90 two-course set menu – available in the evenings too – or more gourmet dishes à la carte. For a quick pitstop, customers can stand at the bar or sit out on the terrace for a crusty baguette sandwich or plate of charcuterie. The rich red interiors and old-fashioned banquettes reflect his traditional Lyonnais cooking: grilled andouillette sausage and authentic crispy French fries; beef and carrots braised in red wine; pike-perch quenelles in a rich Nantua sauce. The set menu changes every day and there’s a selection of salads for vegetarians.
