    Paris on a Sunday night with 14 Chefs

    in France: Dining

    Posted

    We will be spending a week in Provence ending with the Truffle Festival in Uzes and the a final night in Paris before a morning flight home.

    I am looking to keep it at no more than 100 euro per person all in.. Any suggestions would be helpful! We will be staying in the Castex Hotel near Bastille.

    Thanks in advance!

    Allegretti

    in New York: Dining

    Posted

    I had dinner for the first time at Allegretti last night. Very good meal, nice atmosphere.

    My question is: is it always as empty as it was last night? We sat at about 6:45 and left at about 9. We were one of 4 tables the entire night (3 "duces" and a table of 8). I hope they are doing well.....I plan on returning soon.

    Also....the prices on the wine list need reconsideration. It appears that most bottles are marked up 3-4 times! I thought those days were over?!!

    Eastern France Road Trip

    in France: Dining

    Posted

    I just returned from the Beaune area last week. In Beaune I enjoyed a very nice meal at Ma Cusine. Simply prepared food at it's best. Just a few minutes north in Nuits Saint George we enjoyed 2 very nice evenings at La Cabotte. A bit more of a contemporary flair, but they were 2 of the best meals I had on my trip.

    In Lyon, no matter where you dine, be sure to had a pre dinner glass of wine or bubbles at L'Harmonie des Vins which is on the same Rue as Paul Bocuses' Nord. Great by the glass selection and a fun atmosphere. Have a great time.

    Lyon to Orange

    in France: Dining

    Posted

    I am flying into Lyon and I will have 10 days sto just wander the countryside in my car. I want to fly out of Lyon when my stomach is full (after 10 days)

    I was thinking of driving toward throughout the Rhone.

    Where should I eat?? What towns are "must see's"

    Ground Rules:

    1) No dressing up for dinner (business casual is fine)

    2) I will eat anything. My wife is not a huge meat eater, she eats a lot of fish and veggies, but on trips like this, she is flexible.

    Thanks to everyone in advance!

    How to Get a Michellin Star

    in Restaurant Life

    Posted · Edited by jeffperez62 (log)

    How long does one have to be in business for??

    Do the star or stars belong to the establishment or the chef??

    Usually, on average how many visits to an establishment does an inspector make before passing judgement??

    How many places does anyone know of that have been open less that 1 year (in the USA) and have received Michellin stars??

    Free Eurocave

    in Wine

    I have a Eurocave that holds 180 bottles. It developed a leak in coolant system so Wine Enthusiast replaced the entire unit.

    If you have a friend that works on refrigeration and you are near Norwalk Ct. AND you want a free Eurocave (only 3 yrs old)

    Just email me and it is yours!

    Need Recipe for Navettes

    in France: Cooking & Baking

    Posted · Edited by jeffperez62 (log)

    Since I'm in Uzès, I'd be very interested to know where you had them.  I've never heard of nor seen anything called navettes here except shuttle buses!

    In the Place de Herbes??? (The square where they hold the market) there is a baker that has them.

    P.S. I love your town. I stayed in Hosteliere Provencale for 3 days and loved it. It makes me want to move there!
