Le Dauphin : Le Dauphin is an unassuming turn of the century braqsserie and café one block north of the Louvre, just outside André Malraux Square. The brasserie has been family-owned and operated since 1945 and offers a variety of traditional entrees, a modest selection of regional wines, and memorable desserts such as the hot prune pie with Armagnac. Expresso and other coffees are standard for this type of café. The rear dining room provides a dark, slightly decaying refuge to linger over dinner or coffee and is a stark contrast to the traffic congested square just outside. Much to my dismay, an additional dining room was recently added but does not distract from the brasserie's original atmosphere.
