I was just catching up on SeriousEats.com and ran across this article from blogger David Lebovitz who's Living the Sweet Life in Paris. In the article, he asked several of his fellow bloggers & authors to name their favorite places in Paris.
Here's an excerpt....
"If the question were, "Which Parisian brasserie would I miss the most were it to close?," my answer would be La Coupole. If the question were, "Which Parisian brasserie would I recommend to visiting relatives?," my response would be Bofinger. But since I am being asked for my personal favorite and the year is 2009 rather than 1929, I single out the comparatively young, obscure, smallish and unglamorous Le Chantefable (93, avenue Gambetta, 20th) for all the wonderful ways it is not like La Coupole and Bofinger."
(Leann's Note: My husband and I visited Bofinger a couple of years ago because one of our traveling companions insisted. The atmosphere was certainly charming, but I really wasn't impressed with the food or service. Maybe it was an off day...)
