At Chez Julien the escargot profiteroles are fantastic for a starter. I had wonderful filet of beef with cepes.
It's been a while since I've been to Epi Dupin but I think I've always had rabbit there (I somehow associate Dupin with Lapin). They used to serve it in a copper or crockery casserole in a great mustard sauce.

It might be worthwhile to adjust your thinking, even now, about that (misused American) term "Entrées" - - logically, in Europe, it refers to the "entry" course - - or what are known as starters or appetizers, here in the US.

A main course might be identified as a "plat principal", or simply as the viande, poisson, etc.

Best wishes,

Rex

Hi Rex,
naturellement! Queest-ce que je pensais?!! I have been immersing myself in French language the past few months, and entree is definitely not in the french cuisine lingo. Mon erreur!

Thank you for informing us of your knowledge of restaurants and expensive dining adventures. I did Le Burger King and laughed at the tourists in the yellow wine sauce :- )
