Wine Bars and Bistros In Paris: Mélac

Owner Jacques Mélac’s father arrived in Paris in 1938 from the Aveyron region of southwest France and soon opened this wine bar and bistro located in a quiet residential neighborhood far off of tourist routes.  As to be expected many of the hearty food specialties from the region are featured such as aligot a cheese and sausage dish.  The excellent wine list favors the southwest France and the Languedoc.  Each fall the thirty year old vines which line the outside walls are harvested and crushed the old fashioned way.  Apparently about 40-50 bottles are produced.
