Le Gaulois

Meat and offal specialist with a wine list of over 250 references. A Barbizon institution.

Description

Le Gaulois at 64B Grande Rue is the village's temple to meat and offal -- entrecote, tartare, boudin noir, foie gras, prepared with precision and without compromise. Co-owner Nicolas is a trained oenologist; the wine list runs to over 250 references with a focus on terroir producers. Covered courtyard terrasse. Open Tuesday to Sunday.

Historical context

Serious meat, serious wine, no pretension. Le Gaulois occupies a courtyard address just off the main facade of the Grande Rue, its interior a warm clutter of hunting references and wine bottles. The kind of restaurant that sustains a village -- where locals actually eat, not just tourists.
