You couldn't invent this place if you tried: local soaks, immigrant South Americans, twentysomething students, Brits and retired war veterans all pop in for a taste of the most surreal experience in town, courtesy of the elderly Madame Polo, her fluffy cat and her canaries. Madame P is surely the last living link to a forgotten Paris and proof that in this age of excessive health and safety concerns, there are still places here that manage to slip through the net. A word of warning: don't drink out of the glasses - Madame Polo isn't too keen on cleaning. We recommend you opt instead for a €3 bottle of beer.
