FOOD / 17

hello from paris!

my friend emma (and a bunch of twitter recs) have been telling us to go to Le Refuge des Fondues while we are visiting paris. you eat tons of cheese and drink wine from baby bottles (crazy, right?). the place is really small so they have you climb over the tables (like step ON the tables) to get to your seat. but they hold your hand and act like it’s no big thang. we had an absolute blast.

here are some little memories from the night…

our two day paris trip is shaping up to be beyond special. there is sunshine, carbs and laughter. back to london in the morning! -bri

waaaa….baby bottles, eh? I think I’d need to meet the owner of that place. That’s some straight up Alice and Wonderland cooky goodness right there!

love the sound of this…sounds like the kind of place you would only find in paris – stepping over the tables to reach yours sounds mad, but kinda fun

Fun, fun, fun! It looks delicious and quirky! My kind of restaurant! I will definitely try it if I ever go to Paris.

That place sounds delightful! Cheese fondu is probably my favorite thing to eat in the whole wide world. Not counting chocolate of course.

Standing on the tables before you’re even drinking?!?! Love it!

So much fun!

this place was definitely a haunt during my studies in paris – we took all of our visitors, not that we didn’t enjoy it ourselves. a bit of a rite of passage. in fact, there might still be a letter tacked up somewhere that i wrote after an evening of decidedly less than diplomatic behavior on my part. when i went back once, they then read my mea culpa aloud to the entire restaurant.

This is so interesting. Paris is a very beautiful place, it is a lovely, peaceful and wonderful place. Here you can find, love and creations.

If you’re still in Paris go to the restaurant “derriere”, you’ll love it!
