Their famous onion soup and namesake specialty (grilled pigs' feet with béarnaise sauce) still lure visitors, and where else in Paris can you get such a good meal at 3am? Other specialties include a platter named after the medieval patron saint of sausage makers,
la temptation de St-Antoine, which includes grilled pig's tail, pig's snout, and half a pig's foot, all served with béarnaise and
pommes frites; and
andouillettes (chitterling sausages) with béarnaise. Two flavorful but less unusual dishes: a
jarret (shin) of pork, caramelized in honey and served on a bed of sauerkraut, and grilled pork ribs with sage sauce. On the street outside, you can buy some of the freshest oysters in town.
