Saturday Sunday Monday Restaurants

[robyn]

I have just finished our dining reservations for Paris. Since I wanted to pace our higher end meals - I was especially interested in restaurants that are open 7 days a week. Anyway - the ones that struck me were Le Cinq - Le Bristol - and - presumably - many other hotel restaurants of varying quality. Also Senderens and La Table de Joel Robuchon. All 2 star Michelin. I realize there are existing threads on this subject - but thought I'd add the results of my research. Robyn

An observation and generalization about

restaurants that are open 7 days a week.

With the exception of big brigaded, if there is such a word, hotel restos, fast-food places and brasseries, a quick look through the Digest shows that most places seating 20-40 covers are not open 7/7 and those places that are, are pretty crummy. Quality control is easier to maintain, albeit at different levels of the game, at Le Cinq, Julien + McDo's than at other joints. It's a rare place that has two coequally talented chefs - I can only think of one extant here and even rarer to find a team that can keep it up over 14 services. That's why I keep a sticky on my "To Eat At" list that has columns - open on Saturday, Sunday and Monday.
