La Bourse et la Vie is a fine dining restaurant in a bistro-esque trenchcoat—with the prices to match. The solution is to go at lunch, when they serve their impeccable hanger steak au poivre for just €28. Unlike more common tenderloin, this beefy, mineral-forward steak actually manages to stand up to the intensity of the house pepper sauce studded with whole green peppercorns and topped with a coarse grind of black pepper. The full flavor more than makes up for the diminutive portion size, even by Parisian standards, and the copious yet anemic fries. (Don't ask for ketchup—they definitely don't have any.)
