I received two recommendations for restaurants in Paris from a very good source, the Vice President of Food and Beverage for InterContinental Hotels. He's a real "foodie."
le Procope - oldest restaurant in Paris where Voltaire wrote
In Montparnasse - le Bar A Huitre
Has anyone dined in either of them, or both?

Aux Lyonnais is on our list. Thanks for confirming one of our choices! How far in advance would we need to make a reservation?

For ambiance try Bofinger. Oldest brassiere in Paris. Really cool! And for a totally typical, charming, delicious and easy lunch or dinner, I highly recommend Chez Andre just a few blocks off the Champs.
Aaahhh....so many restaurants...so little time!

If Suzanne was home, she could really give you a lot of info since she lived there! I am not sure if she goes on to Victoria Falls or not.

Thanks, Bonnie. Bofinger was on our list, too. We'll look into Chez Andre, as well.

Getting VERY EXCITED, Joanna! A month from today! YAY! We expect to be doing the river cruise doc dance in about a week!
For you or anyone else interested in reading a very complete river cruise review, jgnova has been posting his review of his recent Deilmann cruise on CC (on the River Cruises boards). jgnova and his wife were also Deilmann River Cruise contests winners, as we were. He's doing an awesome job of posting their experiences.

Alan and I have always have a fantastic time travelling. We love new adventures and experiences. I'm especially happy that we will have a very international atmosphere on board. I've read that Americans will be seated together in the diningroom, which makes sense to be seated with guests who speak English.

Denise,
I have always booked with the conciege at the hotel when we are in Paris.
Never hurts to call no matter how far ahead once you know which date you plan to eat at the restaurant.
Enjoy your time in Paris.

Thanks, billp1!
We are going to contact the Concierge at Le Grand with our restaurant selections. We'd like to have everything in place, prior to our arrival. I agree that it's never too early.
Very much looking forward to our first visit to Paris! Thanks, once again!

Denise, I can't believe how quickly your trip is coming up. Time has flown so fast (well maybe not to you and Alan). We've spent quite a number of days in Paris and you really can't go wrong food-wise. We would often just wander and end up eating here or there and never been disappointed. You're in for a great time.

Denise, On our last trip to Paris, last summer, we had two great dinners. The first was at Benoit and then the next evening at Bekinstok,{sp?} the new Guy Savoy restaurant. We enjoyed lunch on the left bank at Cafe Flor and also at Brasserie Lipp {sp?} both are great people watching spots. Have a great trip and post often

Thank you, Doris! So many wonderful selections and not nearly enough time to try them all! I will check out your recommendations.
I am not certain as to whether or not I will be able to send seamail. I don't believe there is internet access on the riverboat and I am unsure as to when we will have an opportunity to visit an internet cafe or not. Lots of touring in a very limited time. So, my reports may need to keep until we return. But, I'll try to send seamail if at all possible.

There was internet on our riverboat last year but extremely pricey at 2 Euros minute - so we used internet cafes when we could.

Thanks, Peter!
Joanna, jgnova's review is excellent. So is aagra's, if you haven't read that one. Sorry to say, any reports I give won't be as extensive. Just direct and to the point!
billp1, I'll be sure to post where we've dined. Everyone's suggestions are greatly appreciated!! Thanks again, for yours!
