A Fantastic Evening At Pierre Gagnaire, Rue Balzac...

March 10, 2015 by JC Viens in Restaurants, Travel

there is no denying from my part that i love pierre gagnaire's food (let's be clear that i do not know him personally, however i would love to have him over for dinner at my home for dinner - a leg of lamb of something simple like this of course...) so, perhaps it makes me biased, or perhaps not....

bottom line is that tonight at his restaurant on rue balzac in paris, i was absolutely thrilled!

My Paris

February 23, 2015 by JC Viens in Travel

a friend last night asked me for recommendations to visit paris for a a week-end. and so, i have decided to write a blog post in case you might be interested. of course, these are based on a perhaps a strange idea that when i go 3-4 times per year, i like to feel as though i live there and try to do things as i think i would if i would really live in the beautiful city of love that is paris, the eternal!

My Favourite Paris Bistros & Restaurants...

I Love Paris...

In fact, I have now decided that it will be my hub for whenever I travel to Europe for anything - business and/or pleasure. Super practical, number one, and impossible to resist, number two. Come to think of it, in Paris, there is no reason one can not mix business with pleasure...

I have discovered lately a neat little tool: Personal google maps. I have created one showing my favourite bistros and restaurants in the City of Light. On it, those on in blue are the ones I want to try, in red, those I have tried and loved. Later, when I get around to it, I will add my reviews.
