I didn't fancy pasta that night so was kind of stuck but too hungry to go elsewhere... neither the salad nor the beef carpaccio impressed me very much to be honest.

I know we overstayed our welcome as we didn't saunter off onto Parisian streets until midnight...so imagine my embarrassment to discover that Yelp says they close at 10. I'd have hoped that we were told they were closing, I assumed they would and I feel terrible for having their staff stay for longer than necessary. It goes without saying that the food is amazing. It's innovative and interesting without it being unapproachable. Not every dish was a hit for me (personally found the fish to be overly fishy and what seemed like such a randomly placed oyster in our dish that didn't seem to pair well with its surrounding flavor) but would still give it 5-stars. Well worth the money.

On this trip to Paris, I had lunch at a newly starred Michelin restaurant, Loiseau Rive Gauche and…read morehad their Ephemeral Nature lunch menu (45€). Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The menu consists of two amuse bouche followed by four courses and some sweets at the end. The meal started with a cracker made of green lentils which was crunchy and flavoured with an herby seasoning. I was also served an artichoke "croissant" which had a light and crunchy shell and was filled with a delicious artichoke cream inside. Both had earthy flavours which was further emphasized by the presentation on grains and dried leaves. The first course was a Tonic Oyster from Normandy paired with some cucumber and cucumber butter in celeriac. The oyster was fresh and sweet and the sauce that enveloped it was light and citrusy. Again, I was extremely impressed with the presentation. The oysters looked like it came straight out of the green waters of the sea! To make the meal a little more special, I decided to have the oysters with some Daurenki Royal Caviar (extra 15€). The caviar had a soft and fruity flavouring and paired very nicely with the sweet flavours of the oyster. The 2nd course was Pike Perch and Smoked Eel. The Pike was so perfectly grilled that it was crispy on the outside but still warm, tender and soft inside. This was the perfect vehicle to encase the smoked eel filling which was incredibly light and fluffy.  Altogether, the pike and eel made for an incredible light fish flavour and the caviar and splash of citrus on top added just a touch of sweetness and brightness to balance out the fish. The 3rd course was a Guinea Fowl which was juicy with a light crispy skin. The top of the skin was sprinkled with lavender which had a light floral flavour and actually paired very nicely with the white meat. The sweet carrots and lavendar-carrot purée added bright creamy notes to the dish and the tangy and sweet jus added a pop of acidity and vibrancy. This course was served with a side of perfectly fried potatoes balls which were crispy and light on outside while also being fluffy creamy and smooth inside. Think of the fluffiest mash potatoes encased in the lightest and most aromatic deep-fried shell. I think I might have liked the potatoes even better than the fowl (and I LOVED the fowl). This is the way all potatoes should be served! For the last course, dessert was a Smoked Chocolate served with Peat Ice Cream. The chocolate was surprisingly light with lots of air bubbles integrated into the chocolate thus producing a very delicate texture. It also had an intense smoked flavour which was quite enjoyable. The peat ice cream tasted a bit like brandy and made the dessert quite refreshing. The creamy chocolate mousse helped to ground the more airy dessert and made it seem more substantial. I'm usually a bit impartial to chocolate but this dessert thoroughly impressed. Finally, I was presented with a selection of sweets at the end of the meal of which I chose the lollipop, the marshmellow and the jelly. The lollipop had a white chocolate shell which was filled with an apricot mousse and a lavender liquid center which was extremely aromatic. The outside of the lollipop was topped with crushed hazelnuts which gave it some crunch and added even more aroma to this delicious bite. And while I thought this sweet bite was very well executed, I was even more impressed with the marshmallow and jelly both of which had a bold and intense lavender flavour while not being overly sweet. The jelly was also infused with some apricot but the floral notes was really what stood out. Before leaving, I was also presented with one last gift of a boxed madeleine to take away with me so that I could have something to snack on later on in the day. It's these little touches that I really appreciate.

My friend and I went to eat at Fuxia after receiving a recommendation from our French photography teacher who promised that we would enjoy delicious Italian food. We arrived at around 6:15pm. The kitchen was still closed at that time; the waitress said it would open at 8pm. After being given a menu we were not able to order drinks for another half an hour due to a combination of absence and inattentiveness by the wait staff. It took another half an hour and two requests for our drinks arrive. The Stromboli cocktail was good, but could have been fresher. At 7:15pm, we finally ordered the Shrimp and Asparagus Risotto. Thankfully, the food came out very quickly and was incredibly delicious. The shrimp was not over cooked and was just enough for the portion. The asparagus was tender, juicy, and sweet. The risotto itself was perfectly cooked and tossed in a lovely, buttery sauce. All three components worked together very well and was definitely enough to make us forget about the slow service. I would definitely recommend Fuxia for delicious Italian food, but not before 7pm.

The church contains the organ Widor played all his life. His organ symphonies were composed for THAT organ. If there is either a church service or an organ concert at Saint Sulpice - Just go. Period. As for the cafe, Don't plan to have a major meal here. But for sitting, having a coffee or a glass of wine and looking at the view, It is hard to beat. The neighborhood is filled with Latin Quarter artists, intellectuals and fakers looking like artists and intellectuals. The balance of tourists and French in their arty clothes is 40-60. So there is a lot to see if you just want to people watch. If you want to look less like a tourist, and more like an artist or an intellectual, a) Wear a scarf (foulard). Looking at everyone around you will show you how to wear it. b) Read a book in French. or at least look like you are reading a book in French. There are a zillion bookstores around from which you can get something with an impressive title and cover graphic. Holding the book upside down or Reading "The 100 Best Restaurants in Paris" Will blow the plan. Buying books "The 100 Best Restaurants in Paris" can be a great deal ... Since the books in French take you to less touristy places than the books in English. You don't have to understand all the words. Just look at the name, the address, the pictures and how many $$$$ are at the top. But read that one in the privacy of your hotel room as if it were a guide to overcoming erectile dysfunction. At the Cafe de la Mairie, better to be reading "Surmonter La Crise Ecologique: Vers un Critique du Productivisme" or "Incendie Sur Six Continents: L'Evolution de Hip-Hop Mondial". A good scarf and a glass of red wine and you are in business.
