On an Sunday when I am in Paris, you'll find me at Chez Jenny , one of the city's most famous Alsatian restaurants that was established in 1930 by members of the Jenny family. Little has changed since its inauguration except that the clientele is a lot more contemporary-looking than in the old days. Up to 220 diners can fit into this nostalgia-laden setting,( asked to be seated downstairs) where Alsatian Gemütlichkeit prevails. An ongoing specialty is the choucroute (sauerkraut) de chez Jenny, piled high with sausages, tender pork knuckles, and slices of ham, YUM!.
The local regulars have their set tables.
Also available are salmon with sorrel, grilled meats, grilled fish, and chicken supreme flavored with Riesling. Any of these tastes wonderful accompanied by one of the Alsatian wines that fill the wine list. BUT what to really have here is a Choucroute! Don't look for trendy at this establishment, its all about food, food and food!
