Paris 2020: The Food Enthusiast’s Complete Restaurant Guide
()
About this ebook
There are many people who are enthusiastic about food—the cooking of it, the preparation of it, the serving of it, and let's not forget the eating of it.
But Andrew Delaplaine is the ultimate Food Enthusiast.
This is another of his books with spot-on reviews of the most exciting restaurants in town. Some will merit only a line or two, just to bring them to your attention. Others deserve a half page or more.
"Exciting" does not necessarily mean expensive. The area's top spots get the recognition they so richly deserve (and that they so loudly demand), but there are plenty of "sensible alternatives" for those looking for good food handsomely prepared by cooks and chefs who really care what they "plate up" in the kitchen.
For those with a touch of Guy Fieri, Delaplaine ferrets out the best food for those on a budget. That dingy looking dive bar around the corner may serve up one of the juiciest burgers in town, perfect to wash down with a locally brewed craft beer.
Whatever your predilection or taste, cuisine of choice or your budget, you may rely on Andrew Delaplaine not to disappoint.
Delaplaine dines anonymously at the Publisher's expense. No restaurant listed in this series has paid a penny or given so much as a free meal to be included.
Bon Appétit!

INTRODUCTION
WHERE DOES ONE EVEN start?
Yes, it is the most romantic city in the world, to my view. Some think that title belongs to Rome, but for me it will always be Paris.
It doesn’t hurt to be in Paris with someone you love. In fact, it makes a discernible difference in your experience there. And while it also helps to be young, that really isn’t necessary. It’s not essential that you be in love, of course. It’s just that there’s an added layer of emotion informing everything you see and do, an extra dimension that imbues your time there with an ineffable invisible coating that will fix the time in your memory till the day you die.
I know that sounds a little dramatic, but it’s absolutely true. It happened to me. Only once, but it happened.
You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.
Mae West said that.
And before you die, you’ve got to get to Paris.
At least once.
MY WORD, WHAT CAN YOU see in a Long Weekend in Paris? Or better yet, what should you see?
This is a very daunting task, deciding what to see if I were to be in Paris, had 3 or 4 days, and knew I’d never come back.
If this were true—that I’d never go back to Paris—I think I’d make a beeline for the Seine, choose one of the lovely classic bridges—and leap to my death in despair.
This being the case, I’ve tried to winnow away the absolutely unessential things that you can get by without seeing or doing. At the same time, I’ve included enough variety for you to pick and choose if your time is even shorter than my 3 or 4 day Long Weekend.
I would recommend walking around a lot at first, just so you get the feel of the city. The sensory impressions you pick up will remain with you forever. Go into a bistro or a bakery and buy some items for a picnic, whether in a park or back at your lodging.
Don’t visit the churches and museums until AFTER your walk around the town, or the section of town you’re visiting. They aren’t as important as your effort to absorb the city. And I’ll tell you from personal experience, those marble floors are murder on your feet.
