Photos and reviews of Restaurants and Fine Inns from around the globe.
Our first visit to the Clown Bar. The location is a bit out of the way near the Cirrus area. The ambiance featuring the Clowns is very intersting as is the food. The food is for those who are adventurous and eat everthing. This is not for your average Grandma. I persaonlly would recommend it…
Another fun visit to our favorite casual cafe !!! Only thing I can say is “just go” !! Perhaps one of the best values for a nice meal in Paris !
I ventured over to the First District and Enjoyed a nice lunch and some fine wines at Les 101 de Taillevent. This is a casual wine bar/bistro by the owner of the landmark Talievent. It retained 3 Michelin stars for 34 years but finally was demoted to two stars in the 2007 Michelin France guide….

The quality of the food is very good and preparation professional. The portion size is large probably geared towards the American tourist crowd. I had an appetizer…

They are also well know as a place for “Ladies to Lunch” while…
Walking down rue Saint-Dominique from the Eiffel Tower the first of the three Christian Constant restaurants you reach is Cafe Constant. This is a local cafe were you may find Christian himself (see photo) dining. The specials change daily and come to you on the good old fashion black board. This is one of my…
Lori found this wonderful place a few years ago. Unfortunately it got lost in the backlog of photos to be blogged. The food was wonderful and its great for a romantic evening. The presentations and food were executed with the French flair you’d expect at a high end establishment yet Le Reminet was very reasonably…

My favorites are the bacon, egg, spinach and cream cheese and the Martinique which comes out Flambe. Upon arrival you will get in line there is almost always a line. It moves very…
[flickrset id=”72157629994442563″ thumbnail=”square” overlay=”true” size=”medium”] A very small and romantic bistro off the beaten path Le Petit Troquet. The most difficult part of the evening will be finding it. Rue Expostion is a small alleyway off the Rue Saint-Dominique adjacent to Les Fables de La Fontaine. Rue Saint-Dominque is the home of Christian Constant’s empire…..
[flickrset id=”72157629533530717″ thumbnail=”square” overlay=”true” size=”medium”] This is another great establishment owned by Chef Christian Constant. Les Cocottes is the french equivalent of eating at a causal diner. Seating is either at the counter or at counter height communal tables. There are very nice daily specials as well as the standard menu both are reasonably priced….
[flickrset id=”72157627823546756″ thumbnail=”square” overlay=”true” size=”medium”] This is perhaps the best Gelato product, I’ve had outside of Italy. It has the light yet creamy texture of an Italian Gelato and very strong flavor of the ingredient. They also deserve extra credit for their great presentation. They have about a dozen shops around the world. Amorino
[flickrset id=”72157627665204125″ thumbnail=”square” overlay=”true” size=”medium”] Highest quality ingredients, prepared perfectly and elegantly plated. I’m usually not a fan of the tasting menu fearing that after eating 10 tiny plates, I’ll leave hungry and seek out the nearest Pizza I can find. This was not the case at Agape Substance the tasting menu included several substantial…
[flickrset id=”72157626138648327″ thumbnail=”square” overlay=”true” size=”medium”] We have lost count as to how many times we have dined at Le Florimond. Lori and I bring our family to Le Florimond when we are in Paris. This restaurant features home style french food. It’s like eating at your French Grandma’s house. Our favorites included Grandma’s…
