MaisonMetz

Nina - Since you are a speaker of menu French - one of my favorite dialects <g> - and lots of nouns, I don't think you'll have problems understanding "le petit Lebey des bistrots parisiens." It's fairly intuitive and uses a casserole rating system - none to three with different bistrot categories, such as "traditionnel, regional, moderne, etc."

It's a gem of a bistro guide.

MaisonMetz - I guess it will be CDG directly to FNAC. Thanks for the new recommendation.

Michelin's Paris, Ile-de-France (restaurants, marchés, food boutiques)

Gault Millau

Champerard

bu....t my new dining Bible is
Le Pudlo, Paris, better for me than any other.

Thanks for the new names. I will definitely look for them when I am in Paris, as judging by the titles, they are in French.

I got the Time Out, Rosa Jackson yesterday. When I get a new restuarant guide, I read it with the anticipation of a great novel. I like comparing the various reviewers.

I am starting to write some reviews for the hotels and restaurants I've visited. One more resource - hope it helps. http://www.bombasticlife.com/pe_france.html
