good-bye all my Paris friends, who have been so enjoué.
Good-bye Paris, I hope to see you soon!
**About restaurants. Everyone has a list. Here's ours!
Pasco's: 74 blvd de la Tour Malberg
My favorite: great chef, lovely interior, near Invalides. Formul diner: 25 E entre + Plat or Plat +dessert, 30 E: entre, plat, dessert
Les Zazous: 46 Blvd du Montparnasse, 75015
Small, very good food and nice staff. Formul diner: 18 E for most limited choices, but wider choice menu is similar in cost to above.
Aux 2 Oliviers: 22 rue de Vaugirard (across from Luxembourg Gardens)
Small and not as lovely an interior as Pasco's, excellent chef, more expensive than the above 2, but a tasty dinner.
La Caspienne: 4 Rue Stanislas, 75006.
Small, family run, French with a Greek flair. I really enjoy this restaurant. Good value for 20E for a meal.
Villa Medici: 11 Bis, rue St. Placide 75006
A nice, white table cloth, authentic Italian restaurant (the waiters and owner have Italian accents). Sometimes one of the staff plays guitar music. Prices similar to Les Zazous.
Le trait D'Union: corner Rue de Rennes and rue de Vaugirard 75006
Our neighborhood brasserie, fun spot, on-street tables, but interior is lovely when it's cold outside. Food is good bar food. Meal for 20E. You can just go and have a drink here.
Noura (Lebanese): 121 Blvd du Montparnasse, 75015
Very good food and a bit expensive for Middle Eastern Cuisine. Indoor seating very nice, but it's the outdoor dining in a garden at back of restaurant that is truly wonderful for spring, summer and fall. They also have a restaurant in the Institut du Monde Arab.
Clasico-Argentino: 46 rue Madame 75006
Specializes in Empanadas. Very tasty and they do takeout. Owner is a nice guy. Not fancy but a big meal (3 empanadas and salad) can be had for 18E (without the beer!); if you aren't one to eat so much,
you can get 2 and salad for 14E.
Le Palais, rue Blais-Desgoffe 75006
A classic and great French cafe that only serves lunch (but the meals are dinner-sized). Cost 14-20E, depending on what you want. 5E for a good glass of wine.
La Reine Saba: 78 rue Jean-Pierre Timbaud, 75011
Fabulous and tiny Ethiopian restaurant. Meal is about 18E for more than you can eat and authentic food.
For crêpes, try any of the places on Rue D'Odessa (there are at least 10). And of course there are crêperies all over Paris.
