This restaurant must be about 1 ½ blocks from where I grew up in Paris. We lived in the Cite Condorcet, off rue Condorcet and the corner of rue Rochechouart. Of course that restaurant was not there then and it does not sound that it will last long if that is the type of cuisine they serve (des plats fades – don’t know how to saw that in English.) Last time we went back (in 2013) we ate avenue Trudaine (not far away, at the top of rue Turgot) in a small place, it was good, but I don’t remember the name. I’ll return to your blog to read your posts because I am so tired of tourists who go to Paris for just several days and think they know Paris completely and that everything in it is perfect. By the way if you want to see a photo my mother took of the corner of rue Rochechouart and rue Condorcet in 1944 at the Liberation of Paris, I have posted it on my blog on Aug, 24, 2014.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4011870221257149580.post-67802055259151863582015-03-01T17:08:07.739+01:002015-03-01T17:08:07.739+01:00Stephan, you're absolutely right.

So, from my perspective it started out well when they recommended a nice sauvignon blanc to start which was really good.

I don't care how good the food might be, if the service is poor, so is the whole dining experience.<br />Cheers,<br />StephanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
