Le Garet
Offal-proud 1920s bouchon that was Jean Moulin's canteen
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Open since the 1920s near the Hôtel de Ville, Le Garet is the bouchon for people who actually want the hard classics: tête de veau, tablier de sapeur, andouillette, gras-double, all done without apology. Tightly packed tables and a regulars' hum; the wartime Resistance leader Jean Moulin used it as a meeting spot. A local kitchen, not a tourist set piece.
Editor's Tip
Closed weekends. Come for the offal canon done properly, not a gentle introduction.
