If anywhere could be said to epitomise the exuberant good health of the Paris bistro scene, it is this upscale eating house at the wrong end of the 14th arrondissement. Claudine and Yves Camdeborde's little place reminds you that the restaurant is a kind of sublimation of the essentially domestic activities of cooking and eating. The moment you sit down you are presented with a fantastic coarse pâté in a large terrine, good bread and cornichons which you could eat yourself silly on alone. But the best is to come. The menu is a glorious medley of rustic French cuisine: wild boar and chestnut stew, hachis Parmentier made with boudin noir, coquilles Saint Jacques roasted with butter and chanterelle mushrooms. Puddings are the real bistro thing, with pears Belle-Hélène and rice pudding with marmalade. La Régalade is all about giving people exactly what they want and then a little bit more.
