Food trip: PAR



When it comes to eating in Paris, the traveler is spoiled for choice. Restaurants, bakeries, bars and cafes line the streets.

The first thing I ate in France (not counting the croque monsieur on the plane) was a huge crepe sallee with the works (egg, mushrooms, sausage, cheese), good for two meals. Ate Vietnamese food once, had baguettes at a certain chain twice. Loved and hated a makunat baguette with heavenly cream cheese, salmon and capers at a place whose name I don't know near Jardin du Luxembourg.

Set meal (quite large) at Le Cafe Montmartre, which was our splurge dinner for this leg of the trip. Looks tasty, but was quite bland. Came with an equally heavy entrée.


Notes on French food:
-I adore creamy Danone yogurt. Now I understand why some French girls think yogurt elsewhere is not as good!
-Just because you bought your bread at the boulangerie doesn't mean it's fresh.
-Paris is not the place for kebabs!
