Feeding Frenzy

We heard from our good friend Rosa Jackson today. Good news regarding progress on our retaurant reservations for our trip to Paris. New Year's Eve is always the biggest challenge. Based on the emails, it looks like we have another great experience in store for us.

Montmartre

One rainy day after visiting Sacre Coeur we stumbled onto the sweetest little restaurant at 10, rue Lamarck named Au Clocher de Montmartre. To find it – you have to walk the opposite direction (East) from the church and away from the artist square. Follow this tip and you will find a great escape from the crowds. In Paris – I think it would qualify as home cooking. After a morning tour (yes, another Context Paris tour) of Montmartre we will need a quiet place to fill our bellies and rest our tired feet. We will finish off the day with a visit to the Musee de Montmarte. A charming museum which pays tribute to many of the artists that lived in the area.

Eating Right

Eating right is difficult. By right – I don’t mean no fat, no cream and no calories. I guess I mean eating good food accompanied by good atmosphere. Paris is not short on restaurants. But finding good ones can be a challenge. From past experience – I found we would wander around town at dinner time probably passing four or five of the better restaurants in our search for the ‘right’ one that was ‘just around the corner’. In most cases, we found ourselves starving and then rushing into the first place we could find. Starving patrons are never satisfied with the service or the food. Three years ago we found a solution to this dilemma. We hire a local foodie to recommend restaurants for us and arrange for seating times. In Paris, we use Rosa Jackson from Edible Paris. She is outstanding and her recommendations are right on target for us. By the way – she also writes the foodie column for Paris Notes.

Rosa makes eating right easy. With her help we experience some of the best restaurants in Paris. Her advanced reservations help us with planning our day and makes dinner decisions stress free.
