It's Spring-time in Paris ( Well Almost!) and that for any foodie can only mean one thing!!!! - Lamb from the Massif Central

Now at one of my favorite Paris bistros, Allard, they are for a limited time serving organic Lamb from the Massif Central.

It's oven-baked with Le Puy green lentils cooked in au-jus.
At the bistro, you choose the piece of lamb you wish to eat; it will be presented to you before being carved in the kitchen.
If you ever wanted to taste natural terroir in the atmosphere of an old-fashioned Paris atmosphere, than this bistro is for you.

                        To quote Jerome Kern, I love old fashioned things................

'I'm old fashioned I love the moonlight I love the old fashioned things 

 The sound of rain Upon a window pane The starry song that April sings 

 This year's fancies Are passing fancies But sighing sighs holding hands These my heart understands

 I know I'm old fashioned But I don't mind it 

That's how I want to be As long as you agree To stay old fashioned with me'

Allard - A classic 1930's Bistro in the heart of the Latin Quarter is as good as ever, in fact even better

Located in the heart of Saint-Germain-des-Près, Allard has remained one of the most sought after gourmet addresses in Paris for almost 80 years. Claude Layrac, passed the torch of this institution to Alain Ducasse  in 2013. 
 The restaurant remains imbued with the spirit of Marthe Allard, a 'mother Cook" who founded the establishment in 1932. This Burgundy peasant moved to Paris with all her family recipes, all personifying beautiful, local cuisine, sincere and generous. 
In this authentic Parisian Bistro, tradition remains alive and well. People come to enjoy the dishes that made the place famous, while relaxing in a warm and friendly setting : Challand duck with olives, shoulder of Limousin lamb, le Coq au vin or Cassoulet.
