I have also noticed an abundance of really well made sandwiches, with prime ingredients, offered in bakeries all over. I still miss the wonderful sandwiches bakeries like Marvelous Markets, Napoleon, Uptown Bakery or Firehook Bakery prepare in Washington DC, but some of those offered here are not to be dismissed, quite the opposite (and they are smaller, managable to eat in one setting, at half the price too).<br /><br />Maybe you should finally venture out from Paris and graze a bit around Viennese and the region around it. Well worth a trip! :-)Merisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16781937797213521146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-8466005519005995902010-01-26T03:16:25.942-05:002010-01-26T03:16:25.942-05:00J'adore Paris mais j'aime Bordeaux.

Maybe at your next Paris visit, we should have a "snack" with some sauterne, some roquefort and some grenoble nuts? (Macarons as "dessert"?)<br /><br />Some further comments: I believe that Michelin has today less influence than in the past. The VAT was last year reduced for restaurants (as it was already before for the fastfood). ... and fortunately an Au Revoir is not the same as an Adieu! :-)PeterParishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09694538476960957295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-42350127636949390232010-01-25T17:11:58.629-05:002010-01-25T17:11:58.629-05:00Good eyes indeed for Nikon!
