Ma Bourgogne

On the superb "Place des Vosges", Ma Bourgogne is one of a most famous wine's bistro of Paris. You just can't miss it, especially when wandering along the arcades of the well known Place. Ma There's always been a café there, right there in the Place des Vosges. Thats is, ever since the end of XVIIIth century. MA Bourgogne happens to be one of these archetypal « Bistros parisiens », heart and soul of a whole neighbourhood. There, a mix between country flavoured cooking and more adventurous dishes, attracts from average tourists to the usual and elegant alumnies of « Le Marais ».

Wines served at Ma Bourgogne come from small producers and have been selected by Aimé Cougoureux, teh boss. He has been working with them for decades. Try the silky Morgon cru Beaujolais or the fresh and white sancerre from the Dezat family perfect with fish..
At Ma Bourgogne you can eat with relish all the various dishes from Auvergne: like stuffed cabbage, tripous (sheep's feet stuffed and folded up in pieces of sheep's stomach), and of course sausages and hams. All are made by local producers and directly coming from Aveyron.
Ma Bourgogne prides itself mostly over its renowned Tartar of beef. You ask it, they hack it – right away, and Aimé fixes it himself, unless you're one for a preparation of his wife, Thérèse.

Don't tell Aimé Cougoureux about mere quality : he'll ask for perfection. Who else would be the first on the markets, at dawn, picking up the best products, from wild strawberries to delicatessen, and tomatoes, and meats and… For Aimé believes in freshness. Every now and then, you'll find him in the kitchen, hulling peas, peeling beans, whatever, he's your man. |
