Today as all of us celebrate Thanksgiving here in the U.S., perhaps my expat friends in Paris will dining on something more French. Today I am most grateful for my family, friends here and around the world. Bon appétit!
Happy Thanksgiving, Virginia! Your expat friends in Paris will be enjoying "dinde" instead of "turkey" (that's a very elegant bird, who wears a silk scarf and high heel shoes...) :-) Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
I trust you have a wonderful Thanksgiving. Although I'm not from the USA, I find myself stopping to reflect on what I am thankful for too as you celebrate this day. Bisous
Virginia; the Reminet is the ONE PLACE I'd eat if I only had ONE meal in Paris - unfailingly wonderful, great food and immaculate service - love it and love your photo! Happy Thanksgiving to you. Kiki
Thanks to Virginia and Genie (Paris and Beyond), my 92 year old friend and I had a Sunday lunch at this wonderful restaurant. One of our best meals during our trip! Thank you so much for letting us know about this restaurant. Word of advice: call ahead and make a reservation!
I am a former elementary school teacher, a full-time photographer, lover of all things French ( whose French is slowly improving), obsessive Paris traveler, enthusiastic church and community volunteer, and grandmother to 5 delightful grandchildren.
I fell in love with Paris in March 2007. It was as the French say, le coup de foudre : love at first sight. As a result of that trip, my photography took another direction. Since that time I have pursued a career of sorts in photography and dreamed of returning to the City of Light. November 2008 found me strolling the streets of Paris once again. My first visit I was so overwhelmed with the incredible beauty of the city, I photographed it as a "tourist". In 2008 I returned and I looked at the city with more of a photographer's eye. I wanted to capture the unique, the small details, and oh yes - the people! This blog was started as a photo diary of that trip, but I have been most fortunate to return to the city j'adore 15 times since. Each time I leave, I wipe a tear and start planning my list for the next trip. Paris may well be a moveable feast, but I think it's best savored in person! Someone told me that once you have been to Paris, you will leave a piece of your heart. I left mine right there, but I brought home some wonderful memories. It is my pleasure to share them with you.

Happy Thanksgiving to you too! :)
I love the mirror and the candlesticks! I´ve never been to this restaurant, but I´ve already passed by and photographed it from the outside.
Either of the two tables to the front would be just fine thanks Virginia. Hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
