My wife and I visited from the US just last week, we had a wonderful time. Paris is a Beautiful city, in one of the shops I wanted to know what something meant on a beer can a native Parisian overheard me she stopped and explained it for me, something I'll always remember.
Parisians are no more grumpy than anyone else. They just have to put up with a lot of tourist's . Speaking as one , I have to say your restaurant reviews are a highlight of my month on TH-cam 😊 . Having giwn up with rice pudding, I gave to say the salted caramel was a delightful variation ❤. Mercie
So delighted to see this review. I haven’t been to Paris since 2001 and remember going to Au Vieux Comptoir a number of times. It looks exactly the same as I remember it. Great.
Très agréable Alain, we really enjoy your restaurant visits and this was actually one we hadn't been to before. This film was a bit short and felt slightly rushed, but still enjoyable. 🥂
I liked this one…… I noticed a vegetarian starter and main course on the menu (my wife is vegetarian). I’ll make a note of this bistro for our next trip to Paris. Do you have to reserve a table, or can you just walk in off the street?
The French appreciate their food more than most other countries, and as a result they enjoy some of the best and highest quality food in the world especially compared with the US. Of course they also insist on delicious and healthy meals. Compared to the French, we’re a bunch of uncultured folks who have no clue what good food really tastes like.
£60 ph all in is not considered unusual these days, particularly if the food is of the quality described here. London, as has been said here (and indeed at most good restaurants), can easily exceed that! Sadly, the days when you could dine well for almost half that, are gone! 😢 I used to run my own restaurant, but sold when the UK high street overheads became prohibitive. I now offer a bespoke private chef service at clients’ homes instead, but even without some of those overhead costs, the price of decent quality ingredients, and the time invested, still means these are not outlandish prices. This is why currently many people now don’t go out as much, and cook at home instead.
Le restaurant est très bien mais les prix sont très élevés. Qui peut aller dans ce type de restaurant aujourd'hui ? Des touristes au fort pouvoir d'achat, des bobos parisiens aux salaires élevés,....De la part d'un parisien à pouvoir d'achat supérieur à la moyenne et qui ne supporte plus de se faire tondre.
C'est vrai. Ce n'est malheureusement pas particulier à ce restaurant, les prix ont augmenté presque partout. Je sors ce soir d'un Hippopotamus où l'onglet était à 26 € et l'entrecôte à 30 €...
@@paristoptips Malheureusement...Je suis très pessimiste sur l'avenir de la filière. Comme sur l'avenir de la France qui se suicide comme tous les pays de l'UE mais c'est un autre sujet....

Parisians are not always as grumpy as they're often portrayed 🙂

I hope you get to enjoy this version one day!
You're city is amazing, we enjoyed it so much, it was difficult to not stop at every side walk cafe
Awesome! I've added this restaurant to my must-visit list.
You should not regret it...
Well…. I just came back from Paris and watching your video makes me want to go back immediately …I need a magic wand😊❤
Merci
With pleasure!
Hope it comes soon!

Thanks for the comment. Yes, it's been here for quite a while...

Thanks. When I have a great time, I sometimes forget to record so I don't have much footage...
Paris always wonderful without being told what to do, where to go, just 'flanner' still thank you. But the sound track up and down is disturbing.
Bravo monsieur. I have seen that I have eaten at all the restaurants (except one) in the opening credits😋
We share the same taste apparently 😄
Wow that food sounds and looks so good.
Indeed, it was...
Hello my friend 😊Thanks for this recommendation 😊 I watched this while being hungry and I want everything 😅
Next time you come to Paris, Andrea !
Magnifique. Je ne connaissais pas
Merci !
Je serais à Paris en septembre …..je me dois d’y aller….merci❤
Avec plaisir 😊
Bonne visite, alors !
Bonjour Alain! Can you pls do a video of the Best and Worst Public Toilets in Paris? That would be extremely interesting!! 😂
Not sure if that deserves a full video. Maybe a shorts
@@paristoptips Should be a full video as we need to know if Parisians are top not only in fashion and gastronomy but also in hygiene 😁hehehe
Can you also do a video review of Le Campanella in Avenue Bosquet? 🤔
Not sure, I don't eat often in this neighborhood.
Maybe one day as it seems to be a nice brasserie.

It's better to book in advance.
The owner’s smiling as if she’s fallen for you, Alain! Do you have a crush on her? 😂🤣
Only on her food... But she's a great lady!

I wouldn't say that you're wrong on the quality of French food, but you also can enjoy good food at some restaurants in the US.
mate that is cheap compared to Londres
Yes, food wise, Paris is cheaper than London
Well well ….. a perfect place first Tourists gogos with these prices !!!! Outageous : 35€ for a steak 😱
Prices are a bit steep indeed, but there were very few tourists...

Lâchez-nous un peu la grappe, les toutous
Quels toutous?
Nowadays, French food seems a bit outdated.
In this kind of bistros, it's not outdated, it's classic.
