But I digress. The main reason for this post is that I want talk about the dinner we had a few hours ago. It was SOOOO good. Probably the best meal we've had in Paris, and maybe one of the best ever.
When I got back to the hotel tonight Melanie wasn't sure she even wanted to eat out, but I talked her into going anyway and then we struggled to find an open table. Everything was packed, no place to sit at Cafe Le Pierrot, Le Zinc, Le Primerose, Le Bouquet de Grenelle, or anywhere else we looked.
We were heading back towards McDonalds (I know, I know) when we spotted a single table at Le Pierrot and we grabbed it. Lucky!
Melanie and I were about to order burgers when I spotted a Plat du Jour (basically "Today's Special") that read something like: Carré de porc avec Truffe et Rissotto. My French is still horrible but I was pretty sure that "Truffe = Truffle". I LOVE truffles and for 14.50 euros this seemed like a steal!
Have you ever eaten something that was super delicious, but you sort of forget how good it was until you took another bite, and then that new bite caused your eyes to roll back in your head all over again while you slapped your palm on the table while making yummy sounds? Yeah, that was me tonight.
Sorry, that was BOTH of us tonight. We ordered the same dish and Melanie enjoyed it as much as I did. They probably won't need to clean those two plates because they were both SPOTLESS when we left.
I'm hoping to have a new phone soon, then I'll be able to post more pictures.
Not far from there is a Pizza place I really enjoyed:

That looks really good, Noah! We'll check it out the next time we're in the 15th!
ReplyDeleteOf course, we've got a Pizza Hut just down the street now, so... ;-)
