Sunday-Tuesday Dinner and Lunch in Nice and Cannes in November
Thanks for that, Le Bistrot des Anges looks like a good choice for us, will check it out.
We now have reservations for both Keisuke Matsushima and Millesime 82, looking forward to it.
Yep, hoping for some decent weather (and tailwind!) on the Sunday :-)
Sunday-Tuesday Dinner and Lunch in Nice and Cannes in November
Bonjour!
Heading to Nice and Cannes next week and would like comments and further recommendations. Travelling with two friends and we will be running the marathon on Sunday morning from Nice to Cannes. Hence we will be looking to have an early relatively bland pasta meal Saturday evening. Not expecting too much feedback on such a request :-)
However, from Sunday evening until Tuesday we will be in the mood for celebrating with good food. Having done some research it appears that both Tétou in Golfe Juan and Bacon on the Cap d'Antibes are closed for the season. Can someone confirm or clarify this?
Millesime 82 and Flaveur seem to be the board favourites in Nice but they are closed on Sunday and Monday, leaving only room for one of them (dinner on Tuesday) as I think a big lunch and dinner on the same day can be too much...
As Keisuke Matsushima is open on Monday it is a possibility even though the reviews on here are mixed; still it appears good value but I am unsure whether there is both a EUR 35 and 60 menu for dinner?
Le Salon des Indépendants is rated the top restaurant in Cannes on tripadvisor, but searching here reveals nothing. Anyone know if it is worth a visit? The other restaurants in Cannes mentioned on this board (Felix, La Potinière du Palais, La Palme d'Or) are closed on Sunday as far as I can tell.
Merci!
(somewhat) Informal gourmet experience in Paris
Just wanted to add that thanks to recommendations in this thread and on this board some of us will also be dining at Frenchie and Le Chateaubriand this week, and I tried L'ami Jean for lunch today.
Bon appetit!
Questions about Chez L'Ami Jean
I had lunch at l'ami Jean today and just want to mention:
-food was very good (incl. the humongous riz au lait)
-entrée+plat+desert was EUR35
-my french is still basic so I asked for some translation help (only the daily specials and the a la carte were mentioned and I was on my own to locate the EUR35 menu which thought was a bit petty)
Best hamburger in Paris?
My favourite, although I haven't tried many is Ferdi, 32 rue Mont Thabor, 75001.
It has been mentioned in various magazines/newspapers as "the best burger in Paris".
Their double bacon cheeseburger (named MacArthur I believe) is approx. EUR18, with fries costing extra.
I also enjoyed the one at Coffee Parisien.

I have reserved the caveau at l'Angle du Faubourg so our enthusiasm will be contained ;-)
Thanks to all for your suggestions.
Champagne Recs
I quite enjoyed the Pommery tour, they have quite a lot of funky art down in their caves also.
A couple of notes:
-bring warm clothes, it is cold in the caves
-quite a few houses are closed on the weekend, so check in advance, and make reservations to avoid disappointment
-I don't know how toddler friendly the caves visits are though...

Have read good things about the Souffle. No hotel booked yet, but location is not that important for us, personally i live near Etoile.

l'Angle du Faubourg seems to fit the bill perfectly, I will contact them tomorrow. Thanks!

Salut!
I am currently i Paris and have been tasked with selecting a restaurant for the visit of 8 friends in mid October. In other words there will be 9 guys dining on a Friday night and we are looking for a gourmet eperience without (completely) blowing the bank. Hopefully there is someone out there who will be able to help!
Most of us live in Oslo so we are used to high prices, but I think we would like to limit the food portion of the meal to €100ish +/-
An ideal place for us would have little or no dress code, allow people to talk above a whisper, have creative food, accept reservations for 9, and offer degustation (or equivalent) menus. We are looking for more dishes than entrée, plat, dessert.
Current options that I am investigating are:
le violon d'ingres
L'atelier Joel Robuchon
Pierre Gagnaire (too expensive I believe...)
Le sévero
Chez les anges
L'Astrance (too expensive I believe...)
Comments on these or other suggestions would be much appreciated! Thanks!
