Beg to differ with Robert. Or rather, you can’t judge a city by one experience. Tons of great places in Paris: if you go to tourist places like Coupole you are bound to be disappointed and they are laurel resting. Read Le Fooding, John Talbot, Adrian Moore for info on the must try and must avoid. Love Restaurant L’AOC in the 6th par example.

bofinger is fantastique! my girlfriend and i turned up very late on a warm friday night this july… luckily they let us in. we sat upstairs and immediately ordered a bottle of the perfectly chilled riesling and thanked our lucky stars. to start with i got to grips with l’escargot and me girl had the goat cheese mousse with chives. on the recommendation of @gastro1 the alsatian choucroute with duck leg, sausage and belly pork on a bed of sauerkraut (and buttery potoatoes!) was swiftly ordered and a cheeky half a lobster somehow made its way onto our table. after this gastro1nomic delight we just had room to share an incroyable creme brulee.. get yer ass down to this place. it truly rocks.

Okay, the view up is great at Bofinger, but how is the food? Had dinner at La Coupole a few months ago and it was second rate, and that is being kind. I beginning to think cuisine in France, at least in the north, is living on a long ago reputation.
