| I went to this restaurant on the Ile Saint Louis once— against my better judgement because it's pretty touristy, the food is more for gourmands than gourmets (and I'm neither), and they pack the patrons in cheek by jowl. But in fact I have a wonderful memory of the place because we made fast friends with our table mates, enjoyed everything they piled on our plate, drank pitcher after pitcher of red wine, and finally stumbled out of there about 5 hours later, well after midnight. [And it's Mellow Yellow Monday. To see more, go here.] |

That sounds like a fun memory you'll never forget!

ReplyDeleteSounds like a recipe for a great evening, Alexa! I, too, would forgive the cramped quarters and touristy vibe for a night like that.
ReplyDeleteDitto what Lily and Shell said. Lucky you!
ReplyDeleteFrom your description I would imagine that it is not always easy to secure seating there, as this eponymous clientele has discovered.
Now my luck is something else entirely different. I would go in there and ask them for a specialty of the house and be served a well-aged dish of this, because with my atrocious American accent the service help would have heard this.
Sounds good. Don't know this one, but was treated to dinner at L'Orangerie once, a place I couldn't afford at the time.
ReplyDeleteThat seems be good... making friends is a nice memory.

You're my kinda girl A. I thought this was a clothing store at first glance. LOVE the photo.

You had me with the pitchers of wine and making friends with strangers... right down my alley. Stumbling out 5 hours later is good too!
