Restaurant Review - La Table des Gourmets
Our friends recommended a book called Paris Bar et Resto Insolites (Unusual Paris Bars and Restaurants) to us. Last night was our first try at one of the places in the book: La Table des Gourmets. With my friend Scott Cressman in town, we met up with Mack and Petra and a friend of theirs for dinner.
Just a couple of minutes from metro Châtelet in the heart of Paris, you'll find this restaurant which is actually housed in a 12th century chapel. Yes, you get to eat in a building that is 900 years old. Back in the day, the chapel was at street level, but several centuries, floods and new construction later, the old street level is one level down from today's street level; not at all rare in Paris, but easy to forget. Makes me wonder how many other treasures there are, either known or unknown, in this city.
Don't let the outside, or even the entrance area, of the restaurant fool you. If I didn't know what lay beneath, I certainly wouldn't go venturing in. Fortunately, for passers by, they do have a picture of the dining area downstairs. Needless to say the ambiance is great. How could it not be? The food was decent, especially given the price of €18 for appetizer, main and dessert. It was slammed all night so reservations are a must.

Next up? Eating in the dark, or in a garage full of classic cars, or a bar where the prices change based on supply and demand, or..........? Who know, but stay tuned.
