I see that we have only 2 restaurants in common, PIZZERIA SAN MARCO in Seville which i loved so much, L'Epi Dupin which didn't impress me and Donisl in Munich which I love that PORK!

Frankly my favorite in Paris is La Fountain de Mars. The food is always so good and they are so welcoming! Next time you go let me know I got a good list.

I still have the paper place mat from Pizzeria San Marco. Loved dining there! My Paris favorite is Le Bistro de Bretueil. And Polidor is always fun if you can handle the brusque service.

Hey I'll take your list now! [email protected] Will put in my files.

Thanks,

Monica

Monica my list is in my head, and it may also be posted here someplace. I plan to do Le Bistro de Bretueil and Polidor on this trip. I may even try L'Epi Dupin again. I forgot , Au Bon Accueil is also fabulous and I wasn't impressed with the much love Florimond. Maybe I got a bad dish.

Look at my pics, there are folders with food from a few places....

And I thought I went overboard with taking pictures of food! Loved them Richard. Creme brulee is one of my favorite desserts.

I also loved the photo with the old French woman at the cafe.

OH my god, my friends think i am nuts, they look at my pics and ask why I photograph my dinner.

I think that old lady is me in 50 years. She was sitting at the bistro having her lunch and a pot of tea whilst having a conversation with her invisible friend.

How grand.

LOL!!!

I gross my friends out when I show them the meat market photos. I love the photo I took of the pigs head on hooks from the Athens market. JUST HEADS. Then there are the chicken feet, the huge cow livers, and other body parts.

But I love the fruit and vegetable stands and the wonderful pastries on display in the windows.

Monica, you had fabulous luck! The Thistle Charing Cross receives terrific reviews and is very conveniently located.

We just returned from London, so I haven't been on this forum lately. I had fabulous luck with Priceline for May (Waldorf Hilton on on Aldwych for $100/night) and again for September with a package (Millennium Bailey's).

In fact, that would have been my recommendation, to shop air fares, then check the Priceline packages, where you can pick your flights and hotel.

Hi Donna,

Hope you enjoyed your trip. Thanks for your comments. The more I hear positive ones about the Thistle Charing Cross the happier I am.
