She said she would only serve people who eat multi-course meals. I have never had this happen to me in Paris, no matter how bourgeoisie the restaurant was. She pointed us down the road to another restaurant that only served crepes. Anyways, I was in disbelief in how rude she was and how she lost some good service, even if it was only 'just dessert.'

We found Le Scopitone by accident as we strolled down a tiny side street with great window shopping. Service was lovely, as our French is only good for ordering wine and food. Our server quickly grabbed someone to help translate to make a recommendation for a better dish to share. Her wine recommendations were excellent. Delicious food, welcoming staff, and very reasonable prices! Try the monkfish in crispy pastry with Italian Parmesan salad!

DUCK CONFIT WITH DAUPHINE RAVIOLI AND PORCINI MUSHROOM CREAM was one my most memorable dishes on my week long trip in Bordeaux. The duck confit was super tender and moist. This sat on a bed of rich ravioli and porcini mushroom sauce. It is crave worthy, bringing you back for another visit featuring the same dish. The SHOW was odd. The restaurant is decorated like a theater. Every so often the show lights would come on and music would play while a performer stood still with back to audience. Eventually, as anticipation grew, the performer spun around but remained hidden and motionless in their wardrobe. Finally, the music started and the performer was disrobed to expose a scantily dressed mannequin. Music and lights played while the mannequin spun on its platform. There were other partial mannequins spinning throughout the building. It was strange but memorable.
