Adventurous eaters journeying to Paris often have a few things on their lists of must-try dishes: frogs\u2019 legs, calf\u2019s brains\u2026and snails.  <\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The traditional preparation of escargots \u00e0 la bourguignonne<\/em> sees the snails dressed in their shells and baked with an herbed garlic butter which forms the perfect sauce for crusty baguette. And while the recipe originally hails from Burgundy, today, you\u2019ll encounter it in nearly every bistro in Paris. Here are some of the very best spots to sample snails in Paris during your stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Most Classic: L\u2019Ami Louis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

L\u2019Ami Louis (32 rue du Vertbois<\/em>) is an old-school Paris bistro that\u2019s wildly divisive. Vanity Fair\u2019s<\/a> profile of the restaurant showed how exclusive (and expensive) it can be, but for escargots, <\/em>it\u2019s hard to beat. Here, a dozen massive snails are served in a rich butter sauce by bow-tied, aproned waiters that look as though they stepped right out of the 20s for a truly Parisian experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Most Creative (and Gluten-Free!): Le Caf\u00e9 des Mus\u00e9es<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bistro Le Caf\u00e9 des Mus\u00e9es<\/a> deviates a bit from tradition by broiling its snails not in their shells but rather in button mushroom caps. This not only allows diners to pick the snails up whole but also allows the mushroom cap to soak up all that extra garlic butter. No bread required!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sauciest: L\u2019Escargot Montorgueil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The aptly named L\u2019Escargot Montorgueil<\/a> has been serving snails on the rue Montorgueil since the mid-19th<\/sup> century, and by now, they\u2019ve got it down pat. Here, not only can diners enjoy the traditional butter and garlic snail, but they can also dip into a variety of other sauces, including Roquefort, foie gras, truffle and curry. Order a half-dozen of each for a crowd, or opt for a sampler platter to help you narrow down your favorite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Atypical: Le Petit Gris<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

At Le Petit Gris<\/a>, the eponymous petit gris <\/em>snails\u2014smaller than the Burgundian variety \u2014are a staple feature on the menu, albeit not always in the same way. Sometimes the little snails are folded into a buttery fougasse<\/em> bread; other times, they\u2019re baked en cocotte <\/em>with fresh parsley. However they\u2019re served, one thing is for sure: they\u2019re going to be delicious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Full Meal: Chez Janou<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Escargots<\/em> are usually served as an appetizer, but at Proven\u00e7al bistro Chez Janou<\/a>, they\u2019re elevated to a main course. Here, the snails are tossed with tagliatelle pasta, and the herbed, buttery sauce coats every last strand for a delicious main dish indeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
