Mon Vieil Ami, Paris

Mon Vieil Ami ( 69 Rue St-Louis-en-L’lle, 75004) is the Parisian “spin-off” of the starred Alsace chef Antoine Westermann. We went there on last night as we wanted to change and try some new restaurant in Paris (we always go to the same restaurants finally!) and since long time ago…

Since I bought the Michelin New York guide last autumn, I just had to write something about the ratings. To be short, I think the ratings for the New York restaurants are just not right. Here is an excellent article by Mike Steinberger who sums up all that I think.…
