Hôtel du Nord is one of my favorite restaurants
with a neighborhood setting along Canal St. Martin.
On our last night in Paris this April,
my husband and I enjoyed the company of dear friend Janeen
and our Paris friend Isabelle.
Leaving Paris is bittersweet, but always holds the promise of trips to come.

Looks like a wonderful place. Bring on the wine.
ReplyDeleteYou picked quite a fine place for dinner.
ReplyDeleteMost famous quote in the old French classic "Hotel du Nord," with Arletty and Louis Jouvet: "Atmosphere, Atmosphere: Est-ce que j'ai une gueule d'atmosphere?"-- You've got to watch it Genie. Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful place indeed!! Such a great capture, too! I know you will miss Paris! I miss it for you as well! But it will be waiting for you! Have a lovely weekend, mon amie!

An exquisite place for one's lasts meal in Paris. Trop cher, je pense, mais pour le dîner final à Paris, c'est très bien!
ReplyDeleteHello Genie:
ReplyDeleteExactly our kind of restaurant from the plain white tablecloths, the starched napkins to, in contrast, the scrubbed wooden floor and the plain, simple furnishings.
And we imagine that the food is delicious too.
I love seeing restaurants and cafes like this, in a state of calm and prepared expectancy. The light is beautiful, too, Genie.
ReplyDeleteI´ve never been to the Hôtel du Nord, but it looks very nice. And you are soooo right: Leaving Paris is always bittersweet.
ReplyDeleteIt's one of my favorites too but believe it or not, I didn't bring my camera the night we went!!! What was I thinking???? And as for leaving Paris? I don't want to talk about it.

What a fantastic place to have dinner, it looks just perfect. I am sure you will soon be back. Diane
ReplyDeleteOh yes, you have to watch the movie.

Yes, a beautiful place. I've only had drinks there, but....
ReplyDeleteAnd the movie--u gotta watch.
It used to be a comedy club.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely place to spend a last night.. (or any night) in Paris! Such sparkling atmosphere. What light! You must be 'homesick' for Paris often, Genie?
ReplyDeleteWhat a great choice for your "until next time" dinner in Paris. Your shot makes me feel like I'm right there (I wish!).
ReplyDeleteIs that you? Love the atmosphere, is there dancing?
ReplyDeleteVeronique and Bibi, I know of the movie and really must watch it soon.
ReplyDeleteThis dining area is up three steps from the bar area and is just as cozy and romantic as the photo shows. I did not see any dancing, but perhaps on certain evenings? I am not sure.
This restaurant typifies la vie quotidienne to me. If I lived in Paris this would be my "special evening place with friends." Alons-y!
Bises,
Genie
Your last night in Paris for now Genie! and am sure you will enjoy more memorable times with friends at Hotel du Nord

What a lovely spot for dinner with friends! I have a feeling the wine is very good there...
ReplyDeleteA delightful place for a "farewell" meal with friends.
ReplyDeleteJ'aime beaucoup ce restaurant et lorsque je vais près du Canal St Martin, je vais manger en ce lieu !
ReplyDeleteBelle photo Genie
