I'm getting ready to go to Paris, leaving in four days, so I thought I'd check in here and make sure we are still on for Philou March 21. Wo, have you made the reservations yet? What time?

We are still WoinParis, Sarastro, Mrs. Sarastro, FuryFluffy, and me. Is that right?

Really looking forward to meeting you all.

Looking forward to meeting you too. Hope you'll have a nice trip to Paris. What time do we meet at Philou?

Booked for the 21st of march at 7 30 pm.
For 6 :
I counted :
- Rosiecaro
- FF
- Nikki
- Sarastro x2
- myself.

Feel free to add yourself, I'll modify if need be.

name : I gave my name (a belgian name he will find it ;-)) and 'Fodors'.
See you soon !

Thanks WoinParis, that's great.

I didn't count Rosiecaro because she said she is coming in May, not in March.

Have a wonderful time, everybody. We don't arrive until April 11. Sorry to miss the fun.

Topping.
If anybody wants to join feel free.
Btw Philou is a friendly variation of Philippe but written Filou also means a slightly dishonest person.
The word is more used in a friendly way.

Ah, how dishonest are they? We'll have to check the bill carefully.

I will try to make it through dinner without having a coughing fit. But I'm afraid laughing makes me cough.

Hope you'll recover soon, Nikki. If you have problem with coughing, take some honey candy with you. I find that it works much better than coughing siro, at least on an emergency coughing on the street. Last week I had a heavy cough too, the siro had no effect, so I had to rely on the honey candy.

Don't worry about the bill, I always check it carefully, even if the restaurant is called Diogenes or Aristotle.

the bill... how to split the bill explained by a great french humorist.

Well that was way too fast for me to understand, but I did hear my name clearly. So I looked at the script to make sure I wasn't the one stuck with the check.

Had a great time, nice to put names to faces. And I made it all the way through without a coughing fit. In other words, a success.

I think we need more details Nikki.

I had fun yesterday. We were 4 people: Woin, Nikki, Mrs. Sarastro and me, but we were the loudest table in the restaurant. The foods and wine was good, I drank quite a bit and ate more than I should - I'm still full this morning! I learned some new vocabulary and bit of historic facts from them, if that was not the wine talking.

Everybody has safely come home, I hope?

"we were the loudest table in the restaurant"

To be fair, it was a very small restaurant.

And the ladies behaved quite well.
I had a great evening.

Sounds wonderful guys! Did any take a picture?

Yes, we had a picture of the 4 of us, all beautiful, but if you want to see it, give me your bank account ;-)

As for the food, I've also taken some photos. I'll add it to my restaurant review thread once I sort the photos out.

Just wanted to pop my head in and say how much I enjoyed the thread, and will be taking your food recs with me on my next Paris trip... whenever that may be

No problem FuryFluffy:

Please forward your banking details, including your passwords, your address, your mother's maiden name, your first dog's name, and I will transfer a million Euros immediately to your account

That's way more than anyone has ever paid for a picture of me. It would make us all super models.
