Thank you, John. All duly checked out and noted.

Now I have. Thanks for the tip. (I'm still interested in more residential neighborhood faves.) ← Very subjective as almost everyone has their favorite. I find mine by watching for ones with the longest line of customers. In the 9th my fav. is Delmontel on rue Martyrs and in the 7th, Pain d'Epis on Bosquet. ← Thank you, Laidback. Exactly what I had in mind.

Thanks for both the cheese & bakery links. Do you, yourself, have a favorite?

On my last trip to Paris I discovered the pleasures of going into new neighborhoods--mostly residential--and sampling the wares and ambiance of favorite neighborhood bakeries. I have three recommendations for my upcoming Sept/Oct trip: one in Neuilly, one in the 8th, and another in the 15th. I would love more recommendations! Thanks!

I am a fan of three stars and have dined at most of them (still have Le Cinq to go). My extraordinary dinner at the Bristol in October 2004 was every bit as good if not better than those at Guy Savoy, Taillevent, Le Meurice, but my lunch in May 2005 was definitely two-star--as disappointing as the October dinner was ecstatic. (The winners in May were Alain Ducasse and Taillevent--the Mozart and Beethoven of Parisian cuisine.)

Does this mean we will no longer hear him screaming in the kitchen?
