With Chez Marcel: The Return of the True Bistro, Pierre Cheucle and Loïc Bienassis celebrate the soul of the French bistro: gourmet dishes, delightful anecdotes, counter stories, and tributes to passionate suppliers. Illustrated by photographs from Patricia de Gorostarzu, this book pays homage to this living and authentic heritage. More than just a collection, it is a warm immersion into the world of traditional bistros.
The bistro has not lost any of its magic. With At Marcel's: The Return of the True Bistro, , Pierre Cheucle and Loïc Bienassis paint a vivid picture of this emblematic place of French culture.
This book aims to be a Declaration of love at the bistro and to everything that contributes to its timeless charm:
The friendly atmosphere of the lively rooms
The gourmet dishes that warm the hearts
The bottles of aperitifs and digestifs lined up behind the counter
The suppliers and craftsmen who perpetuate a unique expertise
Between anecdotes, historical tales, and recipes, this book immerses the reader in the warm world of the traditional bistro. It reveals the importance of local products, authentic recipes passed down from generation to generation, but also counter stories which are an integral part of the collective memory.
The clichés of Patricia de Gorostarzu enhance the text by capturing the unique atmosphere of bistros: lively rooms, generous dishes, and details that tell a story on their own.
With humor and tenderness, this book reminds us that the real bistro is still very much alive. More than just a place where people eat and drink, it is a space for meeting, sharing, and memory.
An essential work for:
The lovers of the bistro culture
Enthusiasts of traditional French cuisine
Those who want to rediscover the convivial and gourmet spirit of the cafés of yesteryear
