Our meal at Taillevent in July was as good as any we ever had - anywhere, even though the menu was (as has been recently noted)a tad scant. It was also a bargain - under $200/head with champage to start and a good bottle of Chambolle-Musigny. I don't know when you were last at Le Grand Vefour, but it was a major disappointment following Taillevent. Flavors were muddy, portions rather small, and the bill ridiculous. The famous raviolis, for example, had nearly the exact taste and texture of soft-boiled eggs. What a waste of good ingrediants! L'Ambroisie is just terrific, and relatively easy to get into at lunch. My kind of trip. Have fun!
