Food, food and more food

This is our last week in Paris and we're doing a "best of..." circuit of the restaurants we've liked the most during our stay.

First up, Frenchies Bar a Vins.  This is a first come, first served place and we got there early on Tuesday.  We were seated at the window overlooking the kitchen, basically the chef's table.  It couldn't have been better!




Here are photos of the food prep of the food we ate.  This is the lobster roll.

Endive salad

Burrata with mushrooms and balsamic

Cheddar gnocchi with truffles

We didn't actually eat this fish but we were impressed with the attention to detail in a wine bar where the customers sit at high tables on stools.

The chef knew I was watching and "played to the audience".  It was a night of great food and a lot of fun.

Food market on Avenue Wilson.  We were so sorry that we couldn't buy more but we're leaving too soon.

Doesn't this look like a still-life?

We returned to Hugo Desnoyer for a steak tartare lunch.  I'm not sure I'll ever eat steak tartare again; well, maybe if we can go back to Hugo's.
