Reached through the traboule by the printing museum, Le Musée is a sincere bouchon of checked cloths, elbow-to-elbow tables and stone vaults that were once the city hall stables. Chef Quentin Delbasse continues a rigorously traditional carte of quenelle, tête de veau and saladiers. Buzzy and unpretentious, the kind of room regulars guard.

Editor's Tip

Tucked off rue de la Poulaillerie via the traboule. Closed Sunday-Monday; tight space, so book.
