One of the few independently owned brasseries left in Paris, Le Grand Colbert, with its typical brasserie decoration, with globe lamps and ceiling moldings, feels grand and yet not overpolished. It attracts a wonderfully Parisian mix of elderly lone diners, business lunchers, tourists, and couples, all of whom come for the enormous seafood platters, duck foie gras with Sauternes jelly, and steak tartare.
If you have seen the film Something's Gotta Give with Jack Nicholson, Diane Keaton and Keanu Reeves, this is the restaurant where Diane Keaton's character says you can eat the best roast chicken in the world.
