Like many locals, we love visiting Pierre at all times of the day. At breakfast, the croissants are buttery; at lunch the baguettes have delectable fillings; and at dinner, classic brasserie dishes (beef bourguignon, duck confit, steak frites) can be ordered as small or large plates. Staff are friendly, street-side tables are sunny and the wine list is excellent. Formidable!
