Monsieur Pierre is a small bistro near the Church of Saint Eustache, in the center of Paris, or actually I should say it is a "Fromagerie", where you can buy exquisite French cheese and charcuterie or even sit there and enjoy it with some good wine. The ambiance is cosy and traditional, and the host (Monsieur Pierre himself) is a big smiling man who can explain everything about what he sells and cares to offer genuine, traditional, and high quality products. While having a walk towards le Marais, we were attracted by the marvelous variety of cheese exposed inside on the wooden shelves that we could see through the window. We immediately decided to stop there, since we couldn't resist the temptation, plus I really had a desire of a good bread-and-cheese meal, in true French style. We ordered a selection of French cheese and charcuterie, and we accompanied that with a very good Medoc. The charcuterie was tasty, but the cheese was really Paradise! In fact, we even bought some to bring back to Italy and we ordered a second small selection of cheese in order to try a couple of other sorts. Monsieur Pierre was also a very good host: as I said, he took some time to chat with us and to explain everything (for instance that there are 470 sorts of cheese in France, of which he sells around 80 types)! The price was not low (80 euros for the food I described and 5 glasses of good wine) but I would say honest anyway, considering the high quality of every product. Overall I really recommend this restaurant-fromagerie (and that's the reason why I decided to insert it on Tripadvisor)!
