Lovely on every level – especially when it comes to interior design: Restaurant Loup (24. November 2022)
The Restaurant Loup was picked by a good friend of mine – and I was quite curious what to expect since she’s a vegetarian. Turns out that even places which are frequented by vegetarians offer decent non-vegetarian food. The “pot de rillettes de Jean Carmet, cornichons et tartines grillées” (EUR 12.00) was definitely something I […]
The perfect French bistro for dinner – if you manage to confirm your reservation: Restaurant Au Petit Tonneau (23. November 2022)
When you want to dine out at the Au Petit Tonneau, you have to make sure that you are getting your reservation confirmed. My friend had called to book a table, but they ended up not noting down that reservation – so, we were just lucky that they somehow arranged for a table for two […]
Great for a quick and delicious lunch break: Restaurant Dochilak Opéra (23. November 2022)
I was looking for a simple and swift place for lunch, and the Dochilak Opéra is exactly that – a simple and nice place which offers good food. I went for the “dak gangent (fried chickens with caramelized sauce)” (EUR 8.00) to start, which was good but simple. The chicken wings were nice and tasty. […]
Quite a disappointing breakfast experience: Restaurant Le First @ The Westin Vendôme (23. November 2022)
The breakfast selection at the Le First in the Westin Vendôme is really just basic – I mean, you get everything you want but for the prices you pay, and for the location, and the way the hotel tries to come across, this is definitely not at the expected level when it comes to breakfast. […]
A nice Asian Bib Gourmand experience if you like sashimi: Restaurant Zen (22. November 2022)
The Restaurant Zen was listed on the Guide Michelin app as a Bib Gourmand restaurant, so, I decided to give it a try. As almost always, I went for the “edamame (salted green soy beans)” (EUR 6.00) to start and while they were good, they were, not like usually, cold, and the portion was quite […]
A decent French restaurant with good typical French dishes: Restaurant Le 154 (21. November 2022)
The Restaurant Le 154 is a nice little restaurant which offers authentic and good dishes in a nice setting. It was in the context of a work event that I spent the evening here – and, for me, the dinner started with “egg casserole with morels” which was actually surprisingly homey and enjoyable food. As […]
Great food and service but overpriced: Restaurant Drouant (6. November 2022)
It’s not as easy as I had expected to find a restaurant in Paris on a Sunday evening which is open – and has a decent rating. The Drouant is open and has a decent rating, and, generally, rightly so. I went for the “crispy langoustines, creamy spicy sauce” (EUR 22.00) which were nice. But […]
A nice place for a little French snack: Restaurant Le Café Blanc (6. November 2022)
When you’re in Paris, it is never wrong to visit a typical local restaurant and get yourself spoiled. The Le Café Blanc is a rather simple, yet appealing restaurant since it’s a quite typical French bistro. I went for the “Foie Gras de Canard Maison (compotée d’oignons)” (EUR 19.00) which was okay. Frankly, I prefer […]
