Thinking of lunch at Le Comptoir on the 14th.
Anyone interested?

Or another time & place. Staying on ISL

If kerouac and What are going, I certainly will.

I would recommend your changing the location as le Comptoir is rather small, overly busy, and there is always a wait for tables. You'll need a bigger place. I might recommend la Rotonde (6th) or the Auberge de Venise (14th).

I particularly like the Auberge, lunch is always excellent at 15€ for entrée/plat and a glass of wine and they are generally not overly crowded. Of particular interest, long ago when the Auberge was called le Dingo, it is reported that Hemingway, who lived nearby on Notre Dame des Champs, first met F Scott Fitzgerald at the bar here. Fitzgerald stayed sufficiently long to become completely inebriated. Hemingway probably arrived inebriated.

Café du Commerce in the 15th would also be an interesting location for lunch.

Another suggestion with group seating in the 6th would be Polidor.

I'm honoured Sarastro. I am actually in Paris on 14 and 15 september - evening. I would be delighted to come.
Especially more if Kerouac and Fuzz come.

I'm going to start a new thread since I failed to post Paris in the title.
