Restaurants in the 15th Arrondissement



One thing about visiting Paris during the holiday season
is the inevitable restaurant closures in our neighborhood. 
So this visit we returned to a place we haven't been in far too long:
Restaurant de la Tour.




Located close to the Tour Eiffel
(thus the name)
it is owned and run by Chef Cedric Robert
and his wife Carine Robert. 

We went for their lovely New Year's Eve dinner
and to say hello after too long away.




One of my favorite things in Paris is Foie Gras.
I know I shouldn't love it but...
can't help myself. 

We devoured our main courses. 
Not even time for pictures.







And the desserts were as divine as they looked. 





With one of the restaurants we wanted to go being closed,
we finally tried a small bistro close to home for lunch
that we've spent years walking past. 




The Bistro Dupleix is just steps from us
and, while basic traditional French food,
served a perfectly delicious lunch. 




Gotta love the French's idea of a salad,
like this one covered with potatoes, ham, egg and cheese. 




And there's nothing better than sitting and watching 
the French world go by.
