Sat on the corner of the historical Théâtre du Châtelet, Au Vieux Châtelet brasserie is everything you want in a traditional French brasserie: think cosy wood interiors, ornate trimmings and classic home cooking done right.Opt for the nation’s favourite croque monsieur - a toasted sandwich with molten gruyère cheese, smoked ham and Dijon mustard, topped with a buttery béchamel sauce.
