A local french bistro just off the main pedestrian walkway near the centre of Reims, this bistro with a red awning was recommended by the sommelier at Veuve Clicquot – in fact, he said that the fries were the main attraction. So – after a 25-minute walk from Veuve Clicquot back to the centre of [...]

It has definitely been a while – our apologies. Back in the City of Lights – out with A and B, two residents who love the good life and are dedicated to finding the best food possible. We’re staying in Montmartre, we’ve flown all night and are more than a bit tired – but never [...]

So La Rotonde is one of the Parisian institutions of Montparnasse – its list of famous figures of the 20th century that have drunk (and probably been very drunk), eaten, and discussed the meaning of life behind its doors would make up most of the early 20th century Who’s Who of the literary and art [...]

Fish la Boissonnerie, Paris
April 11th, 2009 · No Comments · Bib Gourmand, Favorites, France, Paris

Longer summary: An old fish market that has been turned into a ‘gastropub’ (according to le guide rouge), but I think this term does it a disservice. This is pretty much the perfect french bistro. Great atmosphere – plaster/stone and beams, a [...]

Popular local Kistilano spot. Dropped in here on a whim when we couldn’t get a table at Fuel (even at 9pm at night there was a 45 minute wait). Solid food – nothing special on the calibre of average good food. Selling French bistro fare in a nice casual setting. Started off the meal with [...]

T: One word: blecch. Well, ok, that was a sound, not a word, but you get the idea. I swear that the staff (ba-da-boom, ba-da-bing!) from East Side Mario’s was holding the WPE staff hostage in the back of the kitchen and decided to take over food preparation for the day. Well, it wasn’t that [...]
