I went on Thanksgiving, because I wanted a regular Thanksgiving meal and to be around Americans and speak English on Thanksgiving! We met so many nice Americans, whom we exchanged emails with. The resturant is small (everything in Paris is small) and is decorated with African art. The food was excellent. I don't think I have the words to describe how good the food was. I have never had Soul Food at a restaurant this good anywhere in the US. The food was like my grandmother cooks; it was so good it almost brought tears to my eyes. The menu on Thanksgiving was:
Waldorf Salad
One Glass of Rum Punch included (excellent)
MainCourse:
Turkey and Dressing (excellent again)
Sweet Potatoes
String Beans
Mashed potatoes
Gravy
Cranberry Sauce
Fresh Homemade Rolls
Dessert:
Peach Cobbler or
Sweet Potato Pie
The price was 30 Euros and I also got a bottle of wine which was 10 Euros. After the Fiasco at Haynes we went back there my last night in Paris. The menu was Chicken, Black Eyed Peas and rice (which I don’t like but were excellent and I finished them all), Greens, Sweet Potatoes, a delicious spicey gravy; the salad had Tomatoes and some excellent greens and the dressing was delicious but I have no idea what it was. I had 2 glasses of Rum Punch, again excellent. We met more Americans and some French and we found out about the club scene for that evening. Many Americans who live in Paris come here often. If you want to speak English and want to meet some Americans who can give you a good run down on Paris, this is the place to come. It is also very easy to find and very close to the Moulin Rouge. I can’t recommend this place highly enough. It is a must-visit place, and I bet if you go once, you will visit again on the same trip.
Metro: Anvers, upon exit at street level, look across the street, you will see a park. Walk along the side of the park. On the other side of the park you will see a Blue Store front that is an office supply store called Plein Ceil, it is on the corner of rue Rodier, walk down rue rodier almost to the end of the block on the right side, you can’t miss it.
