Adrian Moore: Names have not been named to protect the gastronomically guilty

Funny how this (ie, snacks at a hotel bar located near the Champs Elysees)

titilated my taste buds more than this (ie one of the most famous Michelin starred establishments in Paris):

Adrian said...: yes! the first is great bar snacks in a small luxury hotel, the second a series of not very interesting dishes from a well-known establishment. Although we were a large group dining, and 'banquet' style dining always suffers even in the best places, it was a little bit of a let- down. I had very high expectations. They came crashing down :(; 3:04 PM
Badaude said...: So was I right about the identity of the second venue? I'll be double-Michelin starring this Wednesday. Hope I'm not similarly let down...; 4:41 PM
Adrian said...: Think so. Where you going?; 5:42 PM
Badaude said...: Tell you later (after all, what if it's equally disppointing)...; 6:25 PM
