Summary: Disappointing memoir of a few trips to Paris
Comment: This slim volume records, and often self-duplicates, Paris dining experiences of a couple who think it's important to let the reader know what they did every day, as if they were writing a very long letter home or keeping a journal. I'm sure it would be a useful little book to show the IRS to defend writing off trip and meal expenses, but it is nowhere close to the excellence of coverage in the Hamburgers' Bistros of Paris or Patricia Wells's Food Lover's Guide to Paris. And to subtitle it "Millenium Edition" is pompous beyond belief, implying something very special to the reader.

Summary: Follow your stomach through Paris--
Comment: This "culled out" Paris section from the original "Best Bistros of NY,San Francisco and Paris" is a handy pocket sized gustatorial guide to not just the City of Light but to the City of Dining Delight. Our first reliance on this good advice brought us to some of the most memorable bistros and meals that Paris has to offer. Nearby points of interest mentioned in the book permitted planning a day around wonderful meals in classic settings rather than sightseeing followed by a "catch as catch can" search for an acceptable meal. Star of the show was Chez Georges on Rue du Mail; Chardenoux and Brasserie Flo tie for close seconds.

Summary: A excellent book for finding great dining in Paris
Comment: A previous trip to Paris taught me the city has some of the best and worst food in the world. The great food is easy to find if you are willing to pay for it. The challenge, I found out, is to find the great food at an affordable price. A friend suggested this book as a guide to finding good food at traditional French "Bistros". We hit the jackpot on every dining experience we selected out of this book. We found the food quality and atmosphere of each restaurant to be very consistent with the book's description. This book definitely helped us avoid the "tourist trap" restaurants and the overpriced "world renowned" restaurants. (although some of these world renowned establishments are reviewed in the book) If you want to find the authentic bistros of Paris, this is an excellent resource to the secrets and treasures of Paris dining.
