Paris
La Cordonnerrie – Our favorite restaurant. It’s near the Hotel Regina.Simple family style cooking but the chef is personable and attentive. We sat in the Kitchen and had the chefs attention all night long.Have eaten there twice.
Drouant by Antione Westermann – Love this place – near the Hotel Regina for a special night out restaurant. Expensive, fancy and excellent food and service. They have the 4 selections plates for apps and desert. We have been there twice.
Aux Lyonnais -Alain Ducasse restaurant dedicated to the authenticity of the Lyonnaise. Friendly and helpful staff, French comfort food and a reasonable wine list. Also not a “touristy” place, everyone at the restaurant appeared to be locals.
Restaurant LE CHARDENOUX DES PRES -This is the bistro version of Cyril Lignac’s starred restaurant. I had the croque-monsieur to start. The food was good, but they rushing to get us out and I assume turn the table over, which is so unlike Paris.
Il Forno Di Napoli – Best pizza in Paris, maybe even Italy.
