Even if winter is behind us, there’s no real season to enjoy a good aligot-saucisse! The Auberge Aveyronnaise, in the 12th arrondissement, is packed every evening. On the menu, all the delights of the department to the south of France and much more, all in a convivial atmosphere just like in the traditional burons of Aubrac.
All the generosity of Aveyron in one Parisian address
A stone’s throw from the Cour Saint-Émilion, and more precisely from the Rue de l’Aubrac (what a coincidence!), nestles the Auberge Aveyronnaise and its red shopfront. A family-run business run by true Aveyronnais, it’s been going strong for 20 years thanks to the passion and generosity of its founders and partners. Today, regulars and newcomers, from the Paris region and the West, all mingle at the Auberge’s table every day to enjoy the delicious specialties on offer.
On the menu, you’ll enjoy generous starters, to share or not. Dried sausage in oil, pan-fried duck foie gras, trout rillettes: these homemade creations remind us of the region’s cuisine. But it’s when it comes to the main course that we salivate at the generosity of Aveyron’s gastronomy. From cod with Laguiole cream, to tripous de la Naucelloise, to stuffed cabbage as in Liaujas, this is a fine tribute to the department.
But it’s hard to visit the Auberge Aveyronnaise for the first time without tasting its iconic aligot-saucisse. For those who don’t know, this emblematic dish of the region and the restaurant consists of mashed potatoes topped with tomme cheese. Here, the house twist is to add a little garlic for extra flavor, and the result is delicious. Be sure not to miss the spectacle of the waiters spinning the aligot, or ask them for a little extra if you still have room. Otherwise, opt for the no less iconic giant mille-feuille, and you’ll be sure to get your fill.
