Après le dessert

The telltale bottle on the table indicates someone had a delicious soufflé at Cuisine de la Phillippe!

Au Vieux Paris d'Arcole

Au Vieux Paris d'areole, located within a block of Notre Dame, it's always charming.

Afternoon at le Train Bleu

A drink at le Train Bleu at Gare de Lyon is very special. 

Curb Appeal

Lapérouse, dupuis 1766 has had some Michelin stars to brag about in past years. Currently closed for renovations, but do stop and take its picture when you stroll by!

Nuit à Paris

Our first night, Mary and I took a stroll through our new neighborhood.  Peering in windows is a favorite pastime.

Bon Appétit

Capturing fellow diners at Les Bonnes Soeurs, one of our favorite lunch spots at Place des Vosges.

Déjeuner avec amis

I"d love a long leisurely lunch with friends in Paris right now!

Les Papilles

As is the case many times, I don't take note of the place, just the cheerful jaune, rouge, et orange façade! Les Papilles!

Monsieur

Sometimes, I carefully pull out my camera in order to capture a very special Paris moment. This photograph brings back wonderful memories of a lovely lunch with my friend Keri, just hours after I'd arrived in Paris. I was tired, bleary eyed, and we walked in a pouring rain, but so grateful to be there having the most delicious lunch with her at Cuisine de Philippe!

Le coupeur baguette

In many of the older Paris restaurants and cafés, you will find a well worn cabinet loaded with simple baskets and a coupeur baguette. I have never asked, but would love to know how many fresh baguettes they buy each day!

Bonjour Petit Chien!

This adorable guest a our neighborhood restaurant was a regular.

Le propriétaire

Meet Georges, along with wife Odette, the propriétaires of Aux Vieux Paris d'Arcole.  This very photogenic, and old restaurant (1564) is just steps from Cathédrale Notre Dame. Although I've never dined here, I have taken many photographs over the years. This morning, Peter wanted to deliver a some artwork from a fellow blogger so we were able to go inside before opening hours and meet Georges. As you can see, he is a most charming and friendly Parisian.

Mon préféré

Sadly the new owner of Le Reminet has painted the façade a dark red. I thought the purple was pretty chic. Regardless, the food is still so good and the best meal for your euros! 

Paris Rouge - Caffè della pizza

I read the reviews and it sounds like a good place for Italian food!

Après Déjeuner

My first day in Paris and my dear friend Keri took me on a jaunt from her apartment on Île St. Louis to Luxembourg Gardens. (I was working off of an adrenaline rush) La Cuisine de Phillippe proved to be well worth the walk in the rain. This man, talking to the owner, fascinated me. 

J'adore cet endroit!

One of my favorite spots in Paris reflected in this restaurant window. Où suis je?
