Le Bouchon Parisien, Paris
A traditional French restaurant near the Eiffel Tower..
Visiting the Eiffel Tower at night was amazing! Delicious macarons at the top and a beautiful view while walking down. On the way back to the metro I noticed Le Bouchon Parisien and checked out their menu. I saw the beef bourguignon and it was on my list of food to eat during my travels so I requested a table..
It had a fine dining feel but was also comfortable and cozy. Lots of windows and candles and wood… We were brought seasoned olives to eat while ordering. This happened at most restaurants and I loved it! I have added green olives to my shopping list since returning home..
The iced tea sounded so refreshing after all the recent walking so I ordered the peach. It was delicious. Served in a cute little jar and garnished with fresh mint..
As a huge fan of Julia Child, I have made and eaten beef bourguignon plenty of times..but never in Paris! I was so excited to sample it and it was, in fact, the best I have ever eaten. So tender and rich. The flavor was deep with a hint of wine..
For dessert I chose a traditional chocolate mousse. Topped with a chocolate whipped cream and strawberries, it was silky smooth and delicious..
The Eiffel Tower was beautiful and so was my dinner. I was starting to realize that the food of Paris was going to be amazing and I was excited to continue my adventure!!
