About The Importance Of Reserving Ahead & Chez Françoise Sunday Dinner

I had a visit this month from my cuisine Lily and her husband and friends. We went to the Sunday show “How to become a Parisian in one hour”, it was very funny although I’m already a bit familiar with the Parisians life style, it does explain a lot about how to behave in this city, which is like nowhere in the world! Very recommended! Anyway, it was a Sunday early evening and without reservations ahead to anywhere, the guys wanted... Read More

Pottoka, Basque Fusion

We also have different weekend days and he won’t agree to come to dance swing with me.

“Pasco” is a rather large restaurant located in the 7th district close to the Eiffel tower, so it’s a bit of a touristic place but I noticed it was in “the book” (my bible – guide Michelin) and many positive responses in the web so we had reservations. The place was pretty empty if you consider its size but it could be due to this school holiday going on these days that changes things around town in a way I tried... Read More

Le Restaurant Eliance Orsay

This week I was a little ill (and still recovering) and couldn’t smell and taste food as good as always so I was happy Shane suggested to go to a lighter weekend lunch in the Museum D’orsay’s restaurant. This way we could enjoy a beautiful dinning room, lunch and a walk around the museum.   The dinning room, very special and beautiful Ceiling paintings These two had the best table, next to the sculpture Another picture for mom Strangely... Read More
