My favorite dinner in Paris was at the restaurant called Mon Vieil Ami (my old friend) which we found by accident. We had been shopping at a fancy bath store called Durance - http://www.durance.fr/. It was time to eat so we asked the clerk if she knew of a good place for dinner nearby. She told us about Mon Vieil Ami and after some searching we found it. It is a beautiful restaurant and the food was tres magnifique!
I had a delicious pork dish but unfortunately I didn't have the presence of mind to take a picture of our meals. We started doing that later on during this trip. The dessert I had was wonderful too. We sat next to some friendly people on holiday from South Africa. We talked about the upcoming World Cup.
Here is the website for Mon Vieil Ami - http://www.mon-vieil-ami.com/uk. I highly recommend it! To paraphrase Father Intintola from The Sopranos, "This meal is beyond reproach! Word up!"

I bought three lavender scented items at Durance - Beautifying Hand Cream (creme belles mains), Pillow perfume (brume d'oreiller) and a scent envelope (sachet de senteur). I love the lavender scent, the pillow spray is especially nice.
ReplyDeleteSounds nice. I need to buy more lavender oil to sent the pillow you gave me.
ReplyDeleteYes, lavender is lovely, isn't it? It's supposed to help you sleep too.
