"As the name says, L’Escargot Montorgueil is especially well known for its snails—or escargot. This peculiar dish has long been a delicacy in France, and the restaurant is all about highlighting this ingredient as much as they can. The chefs can make snails cooked in truffle butter, snails cooked with duck foie gras, and even snails in a puff pastry."

"Where to Eat Snails in France: There are a number of traditional eateries that keep the centuries-old recipes alive, such as L’Escargot Montorgueil, a true institution of the city."

"The escargot from L'Escargot Montorgueil, a classic snail joint in the center of Paris, is a little pricey—six of their cheapest snails cost €9, or about $15, for exactly six mouthfuls of food (blame it on the snail shortage). But it was entirely worth the damage to my student budget for the experience of eating with one of those dainty gold forks and sopping up the delicious sauce with hot, crusty bread."
