Lazare, Paris
Located on the forecourt of the Saint-Lazare train station, Lazare is a cosy brasserie with a menu designed by Eric Frechon. The cuisine here is family-style, traditional and always well executed, like the chef's now-famous sausage-purée, considered one of the best in Paris.

Mallard, Nice
At Mallard (1 toque), the menu is short and the cuisine simple. Alongside pike quenelle, cassoulet, white asparagus with hollandaise sauce and sweetbreads, you'll find the very best homemade sausage and its purée au jus with a taste of home. If you like natural wine, Mallard also offers a fine menu at reasonable prices.

Les Arlots, Paris
When you think "saucisse-purée" in Paris, you inevitably think of Les Arlots (1 toque). In this cheerful setting, where the welcome is always impeccable, you can feast on matured onglet de bœuf, brandade de morue or tripe à la romaine, but above all the unmissable Arlots sausage served with a mousseline of charlottes. All that's left is to accompany the plate with a good glass of wine (the cellar here is top-notch!) to spend a perfect moment in a gavroche atmosphere.
