En attendant l’Or

“En Attendant l’Or” (waiting for gold) a name like slogan of Californian gold digger imagined by the boss, Patrick Laur…A pun that plays on the phonetics of his name. In french, Laur sounds like l’or (the Gold).

The boss, Patrick Laur, is native from southern Aveyron (south Auvergne). Like many others of its fellows, he arrived in Paris without a penny. That was in 1986. Since then he hasn’t stop working in bistrots always experimenting news ideas.

This café fits the definition of a cheap and cheerful modern Parisian bistro. With its frendly service and its appealing menu, En Attendant l’Or between Bastille Square and Nation Square, seems to be a good choice. Not the type of new and artificial place like many recently created in the Bastille area, an area which has becomed so trendy since the 90’s. This is a place that transmits energy. We go there to relax, breathe, have fun. All generations come here.

But the boss never forgets its native land. He brings from Aveyron ham and the emblematic dish called Aligot, a puree of smashed potatoes mixed with cheese. Each Thursday, he installs a “little market” outside his bistro where you can find genuine products of Aveyron, from Honey to ham, and wines.
