We decided to try and find the same place. So we walked up and down the entire <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rue_Mouffetard,_Paris">Rue de Mouffetard</a> until we found what we thought might be the place. Neither of us were convinced it was, but for some reason the waitress was. We'd read a bit that dining out with a toddler may be frowned upon in Paris, since they take their dinners so seriously. But we discovered that wasn't exactly true, especially if you go out early enough to beat the crowds. In the case of this fondue place Meadow was a star and the waitress was carrying her around and giving her chocolates. We had a lovely meal consisting first of an appartif (<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kir_%28cocktail%29">Kir</a>), then a delicious cheese fondue with baggett, ham, and salad, followed by a chocolate fondue with in-season fruits. Oh yes, and plenty of wine. :)</p> <div class="image-clear"></div> http://freeryan.com/AProperFrenchDinner#comments europe food travel http://freeryan.com/crss/node/168 Thu, 27 Mar 2008 07:25:28 -0600 ryan 168 at http://freeryan.com http://freeryan.com/BehwyGieue <p><span class="inline inline-left"><a href="http://freeryan.com/files/freeryan/images/BewwwyGieue.large.jpg" onclick="launch_popup(158, 1024, 768); return false;" target="_blank"><img src="http://freeryan.com/files/freeryan/images/BewwwyGieue.thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" class="image image-thumbnail" width="100" height="75" /></a></span>No, Meadow hasn't been brawling.

Cumberland sausage, mash potatoes, and onion gravy. A proper English dish. Combined with a fresh cool Guinness makes the perfect lunch!</p> <div class="image-clear"></div> http://freeryan.com/BangersandMash#comments europe food travel http://freeryan.com/crss/node/91 Fri, 07 Mar 2008 14:16:20 -0700 ryan 91 at http://freeryan.com
