Le Petit Pontoise

Nice restaurant with a homey feel, on a quiet street. Popular enough to have an "also" section next door. Expatriate Americans mingle with native Parisians and a few tourists. The food is of the local French standard (i.e., high), but does include vegetables, which many other non-tourist restaurants do not. The balance and spicing of the sauces is the main draw. The pig's cheeks stew is notably delicious, and one of the cheaper items to boot!
