Golden Wok 500 covers

I know that in France, unlike in the States, most restaurants only have one seating per night, without "turning over" the tables; but these are just too big for my taste!! Even Figaroscope's intro warns that the food quality is not as grand as the space!

Now, John, you need a post on the smallest and most intimate restos in Paris...

Yes we do. While there was one on small restaurants, it's dated (2001). I've just put up a compendium of "Romantic" ones here

but that's different, so I'll start a new thread.

Poking thru the Resto Guide section at FNAC I came up with a book that one should consult if interested in places that accommodate large groups - it's the Guide des Salles de Réception Paris Ile de France et Departements Limitrophes published by Broché on July 6, 2006 and selling on Amazon.fr for 17.10 E.
