Picnik Quotes For Friendship

My Uncle


Hello everyone! I'm back with a new restaurant review as promised! Tonight I went to the discovery of the Abbesses district that I find many ways to close the street Censier and its surroundings, and that pleases me so much!
In search of ideal restaurant to celebrate our reunion with my best friend Vincent, we went "At my uncle," a wine bar on the side of the street Burq cited in the Gault et Millau guide and my favorite, The Fooding !

Although very promising on the map, we've both been relatively disappointed with our entries and our dishes (Form + main entrance at 24 €).
Personally, I opted for a creme brulee and goat cheese with tarragon and input for hake fillet wasabi sauce and I was rather disappointed. In fact, I just did not feel the goat in my creme brulee (which was the main ingredient, however ...). Moreover, my dish was hearty but the fish sauce and accompaniment were like three separate entities on my plate separated by small porcelain bowls with a fish for a result but certainly very good cooked in a relatively mundane. Moreover, the idea not to merge with the accompanying dish saddens me a bit ...

A little disappointed, we have chosen not to make dessert ... it's pretty unusual for me ...

This restaurant however two positive aspects: the atmosphere is very nice, cozy and ideal for a head to head (knowing that the tables are still stuck together, but it's the same everywhere in the area ..) and their wines are very good. We opted for a wine country oc-25 € the bottle which was very pleasant and marry well with both fish and meat ...

My overall impression is mixed, but not very good evening with what was on the plate. It comforts me in my opinion however, that restaurants in Paris are not cheap and often the card is more captivating than the actual content of the plate and leads me to always go back to basics: Cellar Burgundy, my favorite restaurant!

Good evening!

How To Get Rid Of Chronic Urticaria

asparagus in olive oil, lemon and Parmesan


Back in Paris after a delightful week in Portugal, I ordered from my off the plane my basket tousprimeurs.com ... no time (or inclination) to go to the supermarket .. Today, so it was the big day on Wednesday: that traditionally or I'll get my little baskets of vegetables from my florist! Back in my apartment and have a little time, I took a few minutes to read "Home " Jamie Oliver, a beautiful cookbook dedicated to vegetables that I bought during my stay in Los Angeles and I enjoyed it so much!

In view of the contents of my basket (asparagus, zucchini, tomatoes ..) I was looking for recipes using asparagus, but this time without the paste Puff (back from vacation must!). I found a simple but delicious recipe: Steam asparagus in olive oil, lemon and Parmesan. Simple and delicious!
I chose to accompany such a small asparagus boiled egg .. just.

You Will Need ..

Parmesan (I use the large Padano Monoprix Gourmet)

Chicken Pocks In Legs

Restaurant Yaiyin


That's it I decided to really take this blog! After all, a recipe from time to time it is not enough! So I decided to enrich its contents with a few restaurant reviews (in my very modest level), which I will remember the passage of places that I did!

So naturally I am going to recommend a restaurant / bar very nice kosher wine in the 17th arrondissement (33 rue Cardinet) called Yaiyin.
I went there during a late dinner with my colleagues in mission work and the evening was very good and this is undoubtedly thanks to the excellent wine we could drink: wines and fleshy Israel's spiced with a Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Syrah .. delicious! The wine list is impressive and no one will be disappointed as the origin of wines is diverse: the French classics (Mouton Cadet, Saint Estephe, etc. ..) alongside wines from the Middle East fairly close to California wine to me so expensive ..

The menu is very varied and the portions are very generous compared to the traditional Paris restaurant. Personally I opted for a box of grouper on a cake of caramelized sweet potatoes, which I liked .. and especially to me very quickly satiated! My colleagues, rather meat (11 steaks for 14 people ... what a variety!) Were also very satisfied. Order dessert was clearly the result of gluttony and no appetite!

Side desserts, the menu is fairly typical: yarrow cream green tea, Panna Cotta with barley water and especially the sabayon and pistachio ice that really stand out.

The welcome was very warm and impeccable service. Next budget, he must have 50 € / 60 € per person including wine. So it is not given, but things change!
