[Sunday dinner in Paris]

Drouant.  (I haven't been there, but next time, high on the list.)  If you want something less expensive or can't get in, the Brasseries are always open on Sunday.  Bofinger is my favorite, but there are others equally as good.  I didn't make it to Lorraine, but for some reason, I think it's pretty good.    I liked Chez Jenny.  Oysters and choucroute.

I, personally was disappointed with Drouant. Nearly 200 Euros for two with a starter, main course and Half a bottle of red; along with a far from insightful service who could have told us that the côte de boeuf was a challenge alone without having a starter. It's early days - I'll probably go back in six months.

I have, however, heard that Carte Blanche is excellent. Someone ex-Gagnaire.

[Gagnaire Substitute]

You could always go to Gaya-Rive Gauche for lunch. It's Gagnaire's 'new' baby restaurant that just acheived Michelin-star status. I doubt that it is anything like as creative as THE restaurant, itself. Still has Gagnaire's overview, though.

I am definitely a member of the Magnolia fan club - hot mustard macaroons with young rabbit cookies and other wild creations. It's a bit of a trek from Paris for dinner, however.
