Les Halles brasserie · Paris
Au Pied de Cochon
The late-night institution Au Pied de Cochon was built to feed the old Les Halles market and still operates on a schedule designed for people whose nights do not end at a sensible hour. It is open from morning until 5 a.m., seven days a week. The famous pig’s foot is there if you are feeling committed, but the broader tip is usefulness: onion soup, oysters, charcuterie and brasserie food in the middle of Paris when most kitchens have gone dark. Keep this one saved for the night you need it.
It was one of the brasseries on McNally’s first influential Paris tour—and it embodies the generous, all-hours restaurant energy that later appeared throughout his work.
