What I ate in Paris in May

Our trip to Paris in May was unfortunately interrupted after only a day because I had badly bruised my hip. I’m happy to report that I’m almost entirely over it now, and that we feel that we made the right decision to fly home immediately when we realized how serious it was. Luckily, not broken! I’ve been saving my very few food photos from the trip to share with Paris in July! Surprisingly, very few people have written about French food for this year’s blog event hosted by Emma HERE.

In the shop windows




You saw the bear who inhabits a food shop.

Dinner at Tadam Restaurant

The kitchen.



A delicious beef dish served with blackened endive, garnished with pomegranate seeds.


Dessert: “Gourmandise de fraises, crème Fontainebleau, fenouil confit et crackers de granola.”


Luncheon at the Musée d'Orsay

The famous clock is in the formal dining room at the museum.
We did not eat here — we ate at the cafe on the ground floor.

Monet’s Luncheon.

Smoked salmon with potato salad. By the time we ate, I was hopelessly troubled by my hip pain.

I love how you see terrines in that food display. I don't know if I've ever seen them in the US. And I do want to go back to the Dorsey. That's a lovely photo. Will you be watching the Olympics to peek at some Paris views? (And maybe the athletes too.) hugs-Erika

I'm so glad you saved these photos for Paris in July. You are right---there have been few food posts this year. I usually try to bake something new, but not this year.

One of the great things about France is that even in a supermarket you can get a great variety of pâté and cheese. Stop by the bakery for a baguette and you have a fine lunch!

Sorry you had to cut your trip short, but it was for your sake, at least. You certainly got a lot of food and drink photos while you were there.

So much delicious and tempting food! When I see your photos I long to go back home to Paris, or even visit my cousins in the provinces. I have adapted to the cuisine here in the South, but my stomach still prefers French food. I am envious when I see the viennoiseries (pain raisins, croissants, etc.) at .70 cents each. Here is Nashville there is a French bakery that makes very good croissants but they sell them at $5 each! When I go to my monthly visit to Atlanta I buy croissants and baguettes at the Lidl grocery stores, and they are almost like in France. They are a German international grocery chain that is starting in the US, mostly in the north-east and couple of southern states, but not TN.). They are a competitor to Aldi, but with more organic food, cheaper too, and lots of import from Germany, Greece, France and Italy. I hope they start in Nashville some day.

Well, that is a sad story about visiting Paris. I’m so glad you’re okay now.
