Cuisses de grenouille

Best place for frog's legs in Paris?

I'm going to Paris for a week on vacation and have already found many good suggestions for things to do in some previous questions. One thing I would like to try though are some authentic frog's legs. Where are the best (reasonably-priced) places to go?

In all seriousness, the cuisse de grenouilles at Joel Robuchon are fantastic. They're inauthentic and v expensive, but great.

Chartier. Great traditional dishes, affordable and a fantastic place to eat. Beautiful surroundings and it is always bustling. A highly recommended experience, although the food is basic and down to earth.

Response by poster: Actually, inauthentic is fine too. Both places look pretty good so far, I'd love to hear some more.

Response by poster: So we tried Chartier, and not only did they not have frogs legs on the menu, but the food was easily the worst we had in Paris. We had better luck at Le Vrais Paris in Montmartre (near the Abbesses stop), which had delicious frogs' legs and other excellent food as well.
