| Restaurant Review - Le Manoir Bar Brasserie - Paris ****
Looking for lunch after a tiring morning's shopping in Paris we stopped at one restaurant, we were given menu's, and then studiously ignored for the next 20 minutes, a party of ten had wandered in after Mrs YS and myself, and our waiter, obviously scenting a larger tip, served them first. So we walked around the corner to Le Manoir, and sat outside in the covered pavement section of the restaurant. Out witty and urbane waiter brought drinks, assured me I was drinking the best wine in the world, and that we were about to eat the best food in Paris. Oddly though, when I check my bill, it turns out that the wine I had was Santa Digna from Torres, Torres Penedes, if I was drinking the best wine in the world, it was Spanish. I went for steak and chips, Mrs YS opted for smoked sausage, both meals arrived within minutes, a good sized, charcoal grilled steak for 14euro, a mound of chips, some nice herbed, grilled courgettes and tomato. We weren't being overly posh this time, well, we'd come to see a heavy metal band after all. After our main course we accepted the waiters recommendation for dessert, individual strawberry mousses with fresh strawberry coulis, lovely, made all the better for being able to sit out in Paris in the sunshine. Le Manoir is located somewhere close to Lafayette Metro, but I forgot which street. |
