Les Mères Allard were a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in Paris who were called Mère, a traditional title for talented women cooks in France.^[1]

Marthe Meuriot, a native of Morvan, married Marcel Allard in 1920, and together they opened a bistro in the 13th arrondisement.^[1]^: 25 Her specialties included Burgundy stew, pot-au-feu, and jugged rabbit, served mostly to lower-class customers.^[1] They moved to the rue Saint-Andre-des-Arts in the 6th arrondisement and she continued to produce Burgundian dishes such as poached pike with beurre blanc, roast guinea fowl, and lamb stew.^[1] Food historian Nicolas de Rabaudy described her as a "Burgundian Mère Brazier."^[1]

After World War II the restaurant was taken over by her son André and his wife, Fernande, like her mother-in-law a native of Morvan, took over.^[1] Fernande also became known as Mère Allard.^[1] Her specialties included pate en croute, cassoulet, veal with onions and bacon, lamb stew, lentils with salt pork, braised beef with carrots, and chicken in red wine.^[1] Each specialty was a plat du jour; the cassoulet was served Mondays, the coq au vin on Tuesdays, and so on.^[2]

As of 2001 the restaurant was still in operation.^[1]
