Paris: Dinner at the Louvre

When we were at the Louvre on Wednesday we noticed they had an elegant restaurant: Restaurant, Le Grand Louvre. And it was, ta-da, non-smoking. John checked out the menu and declared it magnifique.

So we booked a table for Friday and here we are. Again I got a photo-op at the glass pyramid (can't get enough of that) and down the spiral stairs we went. (BTW, you can go to the restaurant without buying tickets for the museum and stay after the museum closes.) The museum itself looked not as busy as when we were there so it may be fun to go to the museum in the afternoon and then have dinner in the restaurant.

It was perfection. We took photos of all the food for all you food fans out there. Here's what we had and what you see below:

Jan had:

starter: salad with melon
main: filet of beef with bernaise on the side and beans and potatoes
dessert: fruit and sorbet in a bowl made out of cookie (yea, we ate the bowl)

John had:

starter: salmon (raw)
main: lamb with rosemary sauce
dessert: fruit tart with sorbet (no photo)

As you can see the presentation is spectacular. So was the food, it was completely fabulous and a wonderful conclusion to our stay in Paris.
