We always look forward to our dinners in Paris (who wouldn't) and this trip we return to some old favorites for our evening meals. Our first dinner (no pictures) is at Pizza Vesuvio in its new location just off the Champs Élysées. We're tired and hungry and rapidly consume our pizzas before the thought "pictures for the blog" even arises.
Our next dinner is at an old favorite on Rue du Fauburg Saint-Honeré, La Mascotte. We start with six escargot and an onion soup, followed by confit de canard (with mashed potatoes) and salad with ham, olives, tomatoes, and camembert cheese.

The next evening, we return to another old favorite several blocks from the Louvre: Le Passage Saint Honer
é. We have our regular starter, the hanging charcuterie platter,and that fills us up (our last trip, we asked the server if anyone ever orders another dish after this and he replied, "Only very large people").

One lunch, we have another favorite, croque monsieur, a classic hot sandwich made with ham and gruyère cheese, then baked or broiled until golden.

One evening at Le President, we have French onion soup and escargot, followed by chicken all around.

Our final dinner in Paris brings us back to the dining district near Place Saint-Michele, where, at Le Latin, we have French onion soup and two fondues: savoyarde (several cheeses from the French Alps with bread for dipping) and Latin (with a platter of meats for cooking in boiling oil).

It's great to be back in Paris, enjoying the dining (and everything else).
