It's a typical French brasserie, and you won't find that many tourists eating there - which is a good way to actually observe and play the part of a real French citizen.
The staff is very nice -and hardworking! They keep running everywhere, stopping only every once in a while to chat with the clients. The place is quite small, so if you don't want to wait for a table, it's better to arrive a bit later than usual... and avoid going there when they're showing a race or a soccer match -although, it really is quite amusing to see the men at the bar discussing the game.

| Even with a short menu, Mom wasn't sure about what we should order. |
But let's talk about the food! The menu isn't very long, but the few plates are delicious and, amazingly, quite cheap (specially when we're talking about Paris.) As Entrées, we ordered an Assortiment de Fromages (a variety of cheese on a plate) and Escargots, which I absolutely love.
For those who are afraid of trying out this piece of heaven: don't be! As long as they are well done, they taste delicious and are very hygienic. I think that's def on the things I'm going to miss the most from France.
As the Plat Principal, I went with the Poulet Rôti with Salade Verte and Frites (Roasted Chicken with Green Salad and French Fries). The poulet was very good, not at all dry, and the Salade Verte was topped with a Vinagrette sauce with a bit of mustard. Delicious!
And though I didn't take a picture, the expresso is also really good. And aftery you've finished your meal, you can go for a walk and visit the nearby Place des Vosges and the Maison Victor Hugo, open Tuesd. through Sat.
Le Rempart is located at 15 rue St. Antoine, 4th arr., between the Metro stations of La Bastille and Saint Paul.
