un petit bistrot

On a cold day

a cosy bistrot

provides a respite 

from the wind and rain

Having lunch like a Parisian

with no place special to be

is a wonderful luxury

Chez Gladines - cuisine Basque à Paris

Chez Gladines

This charming bistrot serves reasonably-priced Basque cuisine. 

I first "discovered" Chez Gladines, the original restaurant, 

on rue des Cinq Diamants in the 13ème.  The food is simple, but delicious. 

Be sure to select a dessert while I whisper in your ear....

(crème caramel -or- mi-cuit au chocolat et Piment d'Espelette ).

 

This lively scene is on Boulevard Saint Germain and 

the warm September evening filled all the tables,

 inside and on the terrace.

Bistrot Victoires

Bistrot Victoires

This neighborhood bistrot/café is a favorite of mine.

Yes, the food is good and reasonable, nothing fancy, 

but it is not the food that makes it a favorite.  

...It is all the friends whose company I have enjoyed 

over the years as well as the staff and the charming ambiance

We need to meet again...

Ma Bourgogne - la terrasse en hiver

Ma Bourgogne

the terrace in winter

In the frigid temperatures of December,

this is how you enjoy the terrace at Ma Bourgogne

The heaters are quite toasty 

and the regular waiters greet you with a smile.

Le Tir Bouchon

Le Tir Bouchon

Cascading ivy, 

bucket of stargazer lillies, 

color theme of rouge and rose foncé,  

handwritten blackboard menu...  

all should have been sufficient to entice my entrance.

As I checked out this restaurant on line for my post, 

I added it to the "definitely try" on my next visit.
