When in Paris last summer I stayed at the hotel adjacent to it (the Grand Hotel Intercontinental) which was an overpriced tourist trap. The restaurant was basically the same. I remember spending at least $40 for a dinner that really honestly tasted like parts of it came out of a frozen dinner. If you ever saw the movie "European Vacation" with Chevy Chase, there's a scene where they are in a restaurant in Paris that they think is wonderful French cooking, and the camera goes to the kitchen where the "chefs" are dumping TV dinners onto plates. Anyway I was reminded of this scene while eating my chicken cordon bleu at Cafe de la Paix. On a more positive note, a place I enjoyed in Paris was a brasserie called Bofinger's. I did succeed in knocking a bottle of champagne off of a waiter's tray while taking off my jacket, but the ensuing embarrassment didn't take away from my dining pleasure. After all, I'm American. I'm supposed to do stupid things in France. Peter Flueckiger [email removed] From X Fri Nov 11 14:53:50 EST 1994 Article: 11509 of rec.food.restaurants
