Planning where to go for dinner. L'Ami Louis was 'the best roasted chicken' on 'I'll Have What Phil's Having' - on PBS. I've been looking forward to dining at this place since we planned the trip -
Just read a bunch of reviews on Trip Advisor - and decided not to go. It's one of the 'must do's' for many Americans, apparently - and reviews are all over the place. The one common surety among all is 'pricey'. We'd be looking at $400 (euros) for the two of us and sorry, but no. We can eat closer to our hotel and enjoy a bottle of wine for way less than that. Heck, we could eat for a few days on that much. The snack J. procured for us included a ham and cheese croissant, a bag of chips, a diet Coke and a bottle of water and it was only $9 (euros).
We enjoy great food and good wine very much - but we're more thrifty than not. Plenty of places here on our street (Rue de Rivoli) and this neighborhood feels like home to us.
A quiet dinner and then we'll head to bed early. J. needs some extra sleep and so do I. Tomorrow will be busy day #1 of 4 in this wonderful city - can't wait!
