To Taste Paris is to Know Paris

The French have always taken food seriously. They still do. My most recent trip to Paris continued to surprise, amaze and remind me that we still have a lot to learn about presentation and timing. About originality and flavor. About ambience and style. About taste that lasts. Lingers. Fulfills. Adds. J'Go near the Odeon, which also has a great selection of wine

The French approach to food is simple. The freshest ingredients, treated with the loving care they deserve. And nobody does it better.

Agreed Greg. Even pub food matches the best of what we have in the states.....and without the overpriced California wine by the glass to inflate your end of evening bill.
