Le garçon et le chef


I caught these two waiting in the doorway at L'Isola, off rue Mouffetard.  That day, I was a bit early for dinner and caught them waiting longingly for customers.  Sadly, when I returned to Paris this last time,  I found that they had closed.

  3. What a great shot. Also in Paris there is crisis so restaurants and shops have to close because people have less money to spend.

  7. I guess France is starting to feel the economic woes that the rest of us have. It's hard to make a go of anything in this slow to recover environment, :(

  11. Une belle capture...
    Dommage que cet établissement ait fermé ses portes. J'espère qu'un prochain successeur viendra vous faire vibrer...
    gros bisous

  12. V, I followed your recommendation and ate at this restaurant several times on my last visit and loved the food. I am very sad that they have closed.

  14. A charming shot...when times are tough, it's especially hard for restaurants...we've had a number of changes up here with restaurants and shops closing, and others opening...The only thing guaranteed in life is everything changes!!!
