Yes, it’s true Chez Prosper at Nation is 100% French and proud of it. Food is good, though the menu varies little. They manage to serve a fairly good ‘Blance de Brugge’ (white beer) and if your budget reaches try the ‘Veille Prune’ digestive. Service is good and comes with a sense of humor something you’ll not find often in Paris. But then again it helps that my French is up to par…

Salads are truly recommended and the fault filet is excellent. Oh and for those who go there often… Am I the only who thinks that the staff works 24 hours a day?

Just out of the Metro Station at the Nation terminal on your left front dwells a quintessential French Brasserie...Chez Prosper. 

Nation is WAY OUT on the east side of Paris with VERY few tourists and a lot of French folks who smoke like there is no tomorrow. 

But if you're tired of the Parisian tourist scene, this is a good place to go...French all the way...not a word of English and cigarette smoke so thick you can cut it with a knife.  The waiters can be a bit rude, but generally they're fun loving.  When I asked for more water, our waiter handed me an empty pitcher and pointed to the toilet...all with a smile and laugh. 

Salads were good with a lot of interesting variations...salad with french fried potatoes in them?  Salads with curry?  You name it, they had a lot I've never seen before.
