Clotilde's Edible Adventure
Let's return to Paris, this time trying to search for a place where to eat following Clotilde's suggestions.
French people don't eat street food, crepes apart. They love to eat properly, and in general, if you are invited by some french friends, wait for a lucullian, abundant lunch or dinner.
Said that, what to do when we are tourists in Paris?
Personally I visited Nice and I ate pasta and meat. So, mediterranean dishes. In Paris, the atmosphere is different.
Clotilde will answer all your basic questions: from language to reservation, how to choose the best place where to eat; differences of locals (le restaurant, le bistro, la brasserie, le café) and what to expect by the various realities.
If you are an American and you love a robust breakfast, Paris will be your ideal place, because a french breakfast is pretty delicious and caloric as you will see. In general people tend to prepare croissants, french bread, brioche and other delicacies at home for their breakfast.
Like all the other European capitals Paris is expensive and so the author will offer you a lot of help for trying to avoid common errors that could be committed; the importance of tips and how to choose carefully your restaurant avoiding at the end bad surprises.
You'll discover that it is possible to eat in private museums, but you will discover also restaurants for vegetarians. They start to appear to the horizon, although french adores meat and they tend to be meat-eaters.
The book is divided in two parts: a first one dedicated at eating, with suggestions of the various realities in the Paris's arrondissements selected by the author, the second dedicated to shops about teas, bakeries, cheese shops, bookstores with a special eye for cookbooks and so on.
A wonderful guide in grade to offering to everyone and every wallet endless culinary possibilities.
I adore the cover!
