Miguel Gierbolini Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 As I think Orik said, "it is that time again." I will be in Paris for a few days in the beginning of December, any recommendations? New ones, old standbys? Places to avoid? I have a bunch of Maurice letters to review, those will be helpful, as well as Chez Pim. Thanks. 42 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Melonious Thunk Posted September 16, 2005 Share Posted September 16, 2005 We will be in Paris from Oct. 9-14th and eating at bistros mostly. I'll report back. I'm going with my BIL and SIL who wrote a book on the Bistros of Paris. So we will be trying some new places and some old ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I have a bunch of Maurice letters to review, those will be helpful, as well as Chez Pim. Thanks. If you're going to do an upscale meal....our lunch at Le Meurice was very very good (I think there may be photos of it on Pim's site). I used and abused Pim's recommendations, highly advisable. L'Entredgeu was one of our favorites. Also went to Monsieur Lapin in the 14th, which turned out to be one of Maurice's old standbys. We really enjoyed it. Also, do ask Melonious if he'll leak any of his lists to you - his bro-in-law is a maven. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Miguel Gierbolini Posted September 17, 2005 Author Share Posted September 17, 2005 our lunch at Le Meurice . . .L'Entredgeu . . . Monsieur Lapin . . . Good. Good. Good. Le Meurice sounds very doable for someone's b-day on the 2nd. Don't tell her. Thanks Omn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maurice Naughton Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 We will be in Paris from Oct. 9-14th and eating at bistros mostly. I'll report back. I'm going with my BIL and SIL who wrote a book on the Bistros of Paris. So we will be trying some new places and some old ones. Damn it, Thunk, that was supposed to be me over a year ago who was gonna try new bistrots with your B$S-in-laws (I like the way that looks, by the way). I fully understand the circumstances that prevented that engagement, but that doesn't mitigate my envy of you with such excellent and competent guides and companions. And I'm stuck in Flint, doing homework in that sorghum-dense language of theirs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hollywood Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Wells' picks. Maybe more high end than you want, but it's a starting point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orik Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 Villaret (following Maurice's rec., I think) was very good. I can't join Omni's recommendation of Le Meurice, had dinner there that was adequate at best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
omnivorette Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 It's not just my recommendation. Pim and fantasty feel the same way about Le Meurice, I believe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Orik Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 In that case I can't join their recommendation either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
omnivorette Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 A description of our meal is on this thread: http://www.mouthfulsfood.com/forums/index....topic=5016&st=0 Also I think Pim has written about Le Meurice on her site, and she has quite a few photos. http://chezpim.typepad.com/blogs/2005/06/p...s_from_le_.html http://chezpim.typepad.com/blogs/2004/10/l...urice_a_fa.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The Scream Posted September 17, 2005 Share Posted September 17, 2005 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detai...=books&n=507846 Thanks for the link. In addition to the suggestion made above I'll add Whiting's Paris Bistros and Sophie Brissaud who can be reached through her food forum Quote Link to post Share on other sites
