Les Papilles

Visitors means dinners out and this time we went to one of my favourite places - Les Papilles. This was a regular on my list when I used to come for work but the last few trips reservations were impossible to get, even this time we couldn't get a seating until 9:30pm. 

The restaurant is in a wine and food shop. They serve a set menu - which for those that know me well can see the appeal, no decisions to be made! The only thing you pick is your bottle of wine and the owner is very helpful in this regard. And by Paris standards, it is super affordable.

This time the meal was a petit pois gazpacho, braised lamb, cheese and a pineapple panna cotta to end. 

It's always a challenge not to eat all the soup!

The cheese course

And sadly there is no picture of desert, partly because we were so full and partly because, well, I can't eat pineapples!
