Description:
The staff here defiantly maintains old-fashioned Parisian traditions that haven't changed much since the days of Picasso and Braque -- the same drinks (Ricard and Pernod, among others) are still popular. A bustle of comings and goings makes La Palette an insider's version of a battered, artistically evocative Latin Quarter cafe. The interior, inhabited by amiably crotchety waiters, consists of tiled murals, installed around 1935, advertising the virtues of a brand of liqueur that's no longer manufactured. If you happen to drop in during mealtime, you'll have a limited selection of salads and croque monsieur (toasted ham and cheese), plus one plat du jour per day, always priced at 12€ ($17), which may include roast beef, lamb stew, fish, and gigot of lamb. The food is well prepared, and the dish of the day is usually announced as a kind of surprise to the joint's devoted fans.
