Bonjour! Merci for all your recommendations. Per your request, here is a brief update. Unfortunately, we didn't go to all the restaurants but did go to the following:
Brasserie Bofinger - recommended by Bonnie: We ate there for our anniversary. Food was great and we ate next to the domed stain glass ceiling. I called to make reservations. My french was rusty but I gave it a shot. Upon answering, I asked (in French) if they spoke English. He told me (in French) that he only spoke Japanese. He was funny - we continued the reservation process in French. Upon our arrival, he greated us and I asked if he was the one who spoke Japanese. When we left, I told him Arigato and Sayonara. Everyone laughed - it was a great evening.
Anne, We took your recommendations and had wonderful white asparagus and frais du bois at Brasserie Bofinger.
Andi, we had a lovely lunch at Georges. Great views and friendly staff. Another adventure there: When we entered the elevator on the ground floor, just as the doors were closing, the security guard handed me a baguette sandwich and asked me if I could deliver it to the guard on the next floor - where we pass through the metal detector. It was funny. I then had a great chat with the guards on our way up and down. Thanks for recommendation.
CJ, Our apartment had internet access and I was able to get your recommendations. We ate at Lou Pescadou and it was lovely and delicious.
Leslie, Claudia and Todd: Great recommendations! They are on our list for the next visit. Thank you so much for responding to my request!
LCT is the best! :lct:
Merci beaucoup!
