L'Ami Jean is a crooked, rattling Left Bank bistro where the furniture doesn't match and neither does the volume, since the chef's baritone carries over every table. The cooking leans hearty and meaty, with game in season and portions that treat the Parisian small plate as a rumor. The rice pudding arrives in a wooden bowl with a serving spoon you'll quietly claim as your own. Tasting menu runs about €98, and booking ahead is wise.
