Situated rue du Saint-Antoine, near Bastille Square in the heart of Marais, l'Arsenal is a bistro that sends you in the past, in the 1960s in full Beatlemania.
 |
In the cafe, nothing has changed since the sixties, with the exception of kitchen equipment. Minouche, the Chief, a real Auvergne having made a detour by Haiti, prepares its soups and omelets that are very successful.

Jean-Paul Azemar is the boss of Arsenal. Like thousands of others of his countrymen, he came of Aveyron. In twenty years, he is in his second bistro.
It is a little chauvinistic, but it's a joke. He wears the foular of men of Aubrac. And it highlights the country's products. The wine produced ont the banks of Lot River ant the ham and sausages. Sometimes, Jean-Paul Azemar proposes dishes of Auvergne like the truffade. A speciality of Cantal of potatoes covered with cheese Cantal. Perfect in winter.
But the specialty of the Arsenal, this is the omelet made with 4 eggs. Served directly in cast iron pans, it is scented according to taste: nature, ham, mushroom. The prices ? 6 to € 7.90. It is a hit with customers !
