Sunday lunch in San Sebastian: What is more unique? Akelarre or a pintxos crawl?
Have the tasting menu. When we were there last May one of the first courses was a "cosmetics tray" (Don't ask, just enjoy if that's what comes.). Seemed a little trick, but it was incredible--and the rest of the menu only got better (and less trick).
Let the somellier suggest wine. I leaned red, he suggested white (followed by a glass of red to go with the meat dish) and he was spot on.
Enjoy!
Lunch in Paris on New Year's Day
Thanks, souphie! I love positive reinforcement for a decision I was leaning towards anyway. Chez les Anges it is!
Lunch in Paris on New Year's Day
As it turns out, Chez les Anges is open on NYD. Other options that I have confirmed are open are Les Bouquinistes (where we have eaten before) and L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon (where we have not dined, but others in our group have). We are in fact a party of seven, so that may affect recommendations and our ability to secure a reservation.
Thoughts, particularly about Chez les Anges?
Lunch in Paris on New Year's Day
Souphie, you are of course correct. I misread LaFourchette.com when looking at available restaurants and both La Régalade and AOC are closed on NYD. Other suggestions have been Chez les Anges, Au Bon Accueil and Dominique Bouchet. but I suspect none of those are open on NYD ether (I'm checking. . . ).
Lunch in Paris on New Year's Day
Looking for a bistrot in Paris for a long, leisurely recovery lunch on New Year's Day. Of the restaurants that appear to be open, I was thinking of La Régalade, Les Bouquinistes, AOC or La Rotonde de la Muette (16th). Had an enjoyable lunch at La Rotonde a few months ago.
Thoughts, suggestions?
Thanks!
