  1. for clarification I was refering to Jules Vernes, but did not know the name. BTW, will be sure to report back on the adventures. Andrew
  2. Thanks to the 3 of you for taking a moment to weigh in. Le Soleil looks a good lunch option, as does L'Astrance if we can get in on saturday. Will also try to sneak in a 3 star lunch as was suggested by cabrales. Bristal was something different, but I would like to go to Bristol from dinner as my splurge - any thoughts ? Ze Kitchen Galerie is looking like a dinner choice as is Le Regalade and L'Angle de Faubourg. We are staying at HOTEL LUTETIA due to a very favorable rate, should I just run these restaurants by our concierge and check his tempature on the ones that you all did not comment on. Also I was thinking about bringing a bottle of Oregon Pinot Noir made in a Burgundian style as a gift for the concierge - will this be well received ? I just thought it a nice gesture, as there 4 of us and we could chip in $10-$15 each and get a really tasty bottle. Oh yeah, for Bux - this is my first trip to Paris as a adult, it was all about waiting for sandwich guys to turn their signs from 10 francs to 5 before buying dinner last time I was there. The only real restaurant we ate in was La Coupole - is it still worth the visit ? One more thing, a member of our party was trying to drag us to the restaurant at the eiffel tower. That set off all kinds of spidey-sense no way reflexes inside my stomach, can anyone confirm this so that I can take her to the mat with the "no go." Thanks again y'all Andrew
  3. Would be grateful for some guidence narrowing down the list I have cobbled together of potential Paris restaurants. Have searched the old threads here and done a bunch of work out on the web to get these 12 leads. If anyone has something to say about these restaurants and would be good enough to share their thoughts, i would be very much appreciate it. Please feel free to comment on whether the eastablishment is a value, over priced, better for lunch (if seeking a value) closed Sat, Sun & Mon (will be in Paris this Sat till Wed morning), is a gem, has gotten too touristy. If you have places that you think are better examples of the style of one of the restaurants mentioned here, by all means please express your thoughts. I am open to almost anything and will gladly travel to get it. For me, its all about great food prepared with fresh and honest ingredients, and a dash of love. In NYC I generally frequent restaurants with ingredient or market driven menus - Gramercy, Blue Hill, Tasting Room, Patio Dining, City Bakery (for the most expensive salad bar type lunch in the world.) Am in cooking denial some weeks as my beloved greenmarket is only expressing its quite, low winter notes. If there is a web site, or a thread from the past, that you recomend, please let me know and I will do the legwork from ther Thank you in advance for your assistance and thoughts, and now the list. Le Regalade Flora Auberge Bressane Les Grandes Marches L'Ardoise L' Angle Du Faubourg (Fauburg d' Angle - are these the same ? spelled right ?) Bristal Le Soleil L' Assiette Bellecour Chez Catherine Ze Kitchen Galerie Les Bookinistes Andrew PS - I am looking to throw a 2 or 3 star (Le Bristol on Sunday @8:30 at this moment) in to bankrupt myself or maybe just do one for lunch.
  4. I believe the sauce salmis is made with heart and kidney and/or liver from the squabs that it is served with.
