First, I should probably offer some apologies to any vegetarian Parislogue readers (I know you are out there) and if you would prefer to skip these entries all together - I’ll understand. That being said, for those of you who are still curious about the Calf’s Head delicacy, you can also check out Jancis [...]
The Calf’s Head Update
By Parisgirl | August 11th, 2007 | 2 Comments »
Somehow eating Calf’s head isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when I’m looking for a quick snack in Paris - it’s really more of a Normandy specialty and that’s where you’re more likely to see it on the menu, but according to Jancie Robinson, there are still fifteen restaurants in Paris that serve [...]
More Paris Cafe Drinks for Hot Summer Nights

Okay, so the waiter at one of the Rue Mouffetard cafes told me “Mojitos have been around forever,” which is true, especially if forever begins in the 1980s, but according to Wiki, there’s been a resurgence of Mojitos - and judging by the number of mojitos I’ve seen in outdoor cafes at cocktail hour, [...]

Cafe d’Enfer didn’t make Town&Country Magazines list of places for outdoor dining (it’s more of a night spot), but not a bad place to hang your hat after a visit to the Rue Daguerre outdoor market.

Finding a Parisian restaurant that’s open on Mondays can be a challenge - finding one that’s good, reasonably priced and is offering an intro to its wine list - and at half price - well that sounds too good to be true, but I have to take the word of Pascal at www.restoaparis.com and his [...]

By Parisgirl | July 1st, 2007 | Add a Comment »
In the past, Parisians may have stampeded out of the city in July and, particularly in August, but in recent years the city has done its best to lure residents back with a plethora of festivals, parades - ranging from Gay Pride to Veggie Pride), summer sports and Paris Plage.
In spite of all [...]
Weird Restaurants in Paris
By Parisgirl | June 24th, 2007 | 2 Comments »
A restaurant where you can drink your cocktail on the top of a Formula 1 motor? A restaurant that has goldfish in its toilets? Dining in the dark - complete darkness, or dining in a garage, or in someone’s private apartment? It seems like anything and everything is possible when it comes [...]
Creperie Row on Rue Montparnasse
By Parisgirl | June 23rd, 2007 | Add a Comment »
We tried out one of the creperies opposite Chez Josselin on Rue Montparnasse Metro: Edgar Quinet simply because I’ve noticed on www.oumanger.com that there had been some negative reviews of Chez Josselin (which I still like very much). We crossed over for an after-movie crepe at La Creperie de Quimper and quite honestly, the [...]
