We often read restaurant reviews in which the reviewer states that such and such a dish “wasn’t worth writing home about.” Well, last Thursday we dined at Les Zazous restaurant in Paris and tasted a cheesecake that was so good that it was not only worth writing home about, but was worth writing to the mayor of New York City to tell him about it. Read our letter to him in our review and, better yet, go to Les Zazous and taste their cheesecake. Let us know if you think that this one beats the best cheesecakes in all of New York City!

Bon appétit!

Last month we took the metro to the nearby town of Montreuil where we dined at a restaurant called La Grosse Mignonne. As well as enjoying a great meal, we also had the pleasure of listening to an entertainer named Vilna sing a medley of Brazilian songs. Every Saturday evening there is a music concert featuring jazz or world music.

On Friday and Saturday evenings during the month of March, La Grosse Mignonne holds jazz manouche (gypsy jazz) concerts under the sponsorship of David Reinhardt, the grandson of the famous Django Reinhardt. Some of the top performers in this musical genre come to the restaurant to play!

Read about the restaurant in this month’s Paris Insights. Our review is the only full-length review of La Grosse Mignonne that you will find on the Internet.

When our group of thirteen intrepid explorers from the Paris Alumnae/i Network arrived in Auvers-sur-Oise for a tour of the village and lunch at Auberge Ravoux, we initially thought that, on account of our size, we would be relegated to the annex, behind the restaurant. We were delighted to learn at the last minute that there were three tables together in the restaurant where we would be seated.

To read my review of our fabulous lunch there, as well as to gain access to ninety-nine other restaurant reviews, all you need to do is to sign up at the following link: http://www.parisinsights.com/restaurants.php.
