I’m a Chef, and I did my apprenticeship back in the day in Paris. I’ve been back a lot over the years, but when I watch your streams it brings back such wonderful memories for me. Love you guys and love your streams. Thanks for all you do for us!!!
We now use the Antoine Scale for our delight in food (at home or in the restaurant): Top to bottom are: “Kiss of the fingertips,” “Shake of the hand,” “Finger trill with OK handsign,” “Nod of the head (with the eyeroll!!),” and the occasional “Shimmy.” Antoine…would this be the right order??? We greatly appreciate the significant effort that you two put into these wonderful videos!!! Everybody else...is this a good and correct scale??? 🗼👏😁
@@LesFrenchiesTravel I always picture you doing the shake of the hand, and Colleen nodding enthusiastically, you're both utterly adorable :D PS - May I recommend Plein Ouest (rue Saulnier, in the 9th)? The chef is one of my best friends (but I promise I'm not biased :), and the cuisine is from Brittany.
Whenever I can't make up my mind my husband also tells me to order both and then we share, just like you do! We have been married for 30 years :) We are going to Paris for the first time in the spring. Merci beaucoup for all your great content!
It was really nice to see Antoine ordering in French. I’d like to see more of that, as long as the waiters agree! Enjoying your videos in Kyoto, Japan.
Since you like soufflés and the Saint Germain area, you may want to try "La cuisine de Philippe", a stone's throw away from the Senate/Saint Sulpice. They make really good soufflés and the cuisine is as French as can be!
I love Le Souffle, every time I am in Paris, I make dinner reservations. My favorites are Soufflé bœuf bourguignon & Soufflé Henri IV, sauce volaille aux champignons.
Oh and those avocados with shrimp and a mayo-based sauce are such classics! I remember eating that starter in London in the 90s so often, and even though it's considered super old-fashioned and not trendy (in the UK anyway) now, I still love it. It's just a delicious flavour combination and that never goes out of style. First restaurant also looked absolutely perfect!
Votre Français est au top, franchement quand vous avez commandé vos plats chez Chartier, si je fermais les yeux, sans vous connaitre, j'aurais pensé que c'était un Français qui commandait. Bravo vraiment.
I would love that chèvre chaud salad- it’s taken me a long time to like goat’s cheese but I recently discovered that it tastes very different warm or grilled! Everything looked superb - except Antoine’s Boudin Noir - sorry Antoine! 😋 🇫🇷
My fiancée and I are visiting Paris at the end of this month for his 40th! We are staying in London so we only have a day in Paris. We love your videos & can’t stop watching them, even though we won’t be able to do a fraction of everything there is to do there! ❤ Thanks for these videos, we love them!
I always smile and nod in agreement with Antoine ending his meal with a cafe'. Here in Ohio, I end with a cup of black coffee. That truffle omelet looked wonderful Colleen. =)
I love you guys! "This is not a Costco chicken!" ahahahahah! Cheers from LA! Thank you for all your beautiful content and your amazing personality. Love!
Last week I had lunch at La Mascotte on Av du President Wilson near the Pont d' Alma bridge. I had the best goat cheese salad I have ever had. (BIQUETTE - mesclun, cromesqui de fromage de chèvre & figues, toast de pain de campagne et buchette de chèvre & miel, samossa de fromage de chèvre, emincé de poires, raisins secs, noix) I cannot speak to the rest of their menu but I am definitely recreating that salad at home. Love your videos.
My wife and I are loving your videos. We will be in Paris in November and your videos are perfect for us to find places to visit and EAT!!!! Thank you!
Hello, your videos were instrumental in helping my girlfriend and me plan an incredible trip to Paris. I followed your recommendations as a guide during our stay and cannot praise Le Prince Racine enough. The food was exceptional - we ordered the same dishes that you recommended, the goat cheese salad and the flank steak with fries. Despite the owner/manager's limited English, we managed to place our order using my basic French. He was extremely helpful and made our visit pleasant. I highly recommend this restaurant. Additionally, the souffle place you suggested was outstanding, and the pistachio souffle was a definite highlight of our visit.
Excellent post about the spring time food selections in Paris. It’s so nice that Les Frenchies thoughtfully did so in this post as menus certainly change with the seasons. Croque Madame is one of my all time favorites especially when it’s prepared like they do at Le Bouquet Des Archives. So perfectly prepared and presented. Not too many cafes prepare it like that. And while I agree with Colleen about drooling eggs, it’s impressive that they give you the option as I prefer omelettes slightly runny. Ill be staying on Rue Rambuteau this September and will definitely check this cafe out. Thank you and please keep up your great content. Josef.
@@LesFrenchiesTravel thanks for the 👍. Can you please tell me if the Bullion Chartiers is affiliated with the Bullion Pigalle? The interiors look alike, menus the same and their fare and prices the same too.
Thank you so much for these videos. My family and I enjoyed a few days in Paris during April. We loved it. And your tips were extremely helpful! It helped me understand much about how to act and what to order.
Also, Colleen's French work influenced me to try to speak French too. I have a terrible accent and bad grammar but was able to converse a bit successfully. :)
German guy here. I am living 6 hours away from paris and over 20 years ago we jumped into a car on friday night after a party for a breakfast in paris. It was a great fun. Now we are a little bit older and not more this spontanious, but the idea lives on to do this again. Maybe you can make a video for the best spontanious breakfast place in paris with the typical paris flair. Sitting outside in a small street with coffee and croissant. All poeple around are french an not tourists like us. ;-)
Came across this video last night and so glad I did as it was the night before traveling to Paris . I went to the first restaurant and go the flank steak, chèvre salad and French onion soup. All so delicious.
Living in a dairy farm state/Wisconsin...we also live the farm to table and in-season life style. Obviously the French move it up 20 notches. Everything looked delicious. Well done again M/M Frenchies! BTW...are there apartments available above Le Souffle? I can live on the spinach&cheese souffle. 😅😊
Ive been watching your channel for probably a year now. Going to Paris next month for my bday for a week and a week then in Chamonix. Wanted to stay in 6th but staying in 14th just a few blocks away. Appreciate all the tips! Merci beaucoup! 😀
I love the Bouillons in Paris. When I was a student there I used to go to one called Le Drouot which has long since closed but they used to write on the table cloth too. Oh yeah you can’t beat a good Steak au Poivre! Great video. Thanks Guys! 🙏
I went to Le Soufflé in February. I enjoyed the meal but the best part was the raspberry soufflé-every bite was raspberry infused & when you dug into the middle of it, there was a little cascade of chocolate hearts that fell into a pool of melted chocolate. It was DIVINE.
We did La Soufflé on our last visit. You really should’ve tried the dessert soufflé. They bring you the entire bottle of alcohol to put on your soufflé . Lots of fun, but could be dangerous.
Nous revenons d'un voyage en France durant lequel nous avons passé 4 jours à Paris. Grâce à ce vidéo, le Prince Racine a reçu 2 nouveaux clients, ma copine et moi. Nous ne voulions pas aller manger dans les resto sur les artères principaux mais il y en a tellement, je me suis souvenu de votre recommandation. Très beau coin, Place de l'Odéon, pour commencer. Cuisine authentique, délicieuse, à très bon prix et service impeccable. Recommandé! J'ai aussi pris un steak&frites avec un demi de rouge, comme quoi vous m'aurez influencé jusqu'au bout! ;)
I really like this video , great how you also post the prices of your meals online to give the viewer and idea of cost . We are heading to Paris is September staying on Rue Clement , not too far from Le Prince Racine - based on your review we will be sure to make a booking - thanks
Le Soufflé one of our favourite Paris restaurants. The savoury are nice but the sweet ones are to die for, amazing. They also do non Soufflé dishes which are also very good. Another Paris restaurant that do amazing Soufflés is Auberge Bressane. Not far from Eiffel Tower They do a Soufflé trio for dessert, out of this world. Another great video. I keep looking out for restaurants we have visited. Keep up the good work.
These videos are basically torture (sadly I do not live in Paris) but I watch them anyway! The food always looks so damn good, and I do remember that about Paris, that you can almost randomly walk into a restaurant and it's a good bet the food will be excellent. I appreciate the content, this channel does a very good job of showing the city, showing the food, and keeping the blather to 'informative' rather than 'stop talking, get to doing,' which is what I find tedious about soooo much of RU-vid's travel content. Request: best jambon beurre in the city? Would love a video on that!
Merci beaucoup for the Spring restaurant suggestions. Leaving for Paris in 2 days. Bouillon Chartier is perfect for me. Walking distance from my accommodation. 😋 Cheers from 🇦🇺
11:34 So interesting that you had a good experience aux Bouquet des Archives. I've eaten there twice and both times were *extremely* disappointing. Perhaps they cleaned up their act at the time of filming this video or I guess it totally just depends on what you order. Next time, you're in that area, check out La Fronde, the restaurant across the street. Last two times I was there, it was pretty good.
I found most restaurants in loical residential neighborhoods in France don't really have French restaurants, most restaurants there are Pizza, Burger and Asian food. French restaurants are mostly in tourist traps
i thought, having already had dinner, i could watch some of your food videos without getting extremely peckish.... i was wrong 🤣 everything looks so amazing i want to eat again 🤣
I really admire the quality of your videos, especially the sound What microphone do you use? What video equipment do you use? These food videos make me drool. They really came in handy when I was in France last month. Encouraged me to be a bit adventurous!
Mouthwatering! Le Soufflés has been on my list forever and somehow I still haven’t made it there yet… But there’s always a next time, right? 😅 Thank you for this delightful video! ❤️
Ohhhhhhhhh! Yummy.... Great recommendations as usual. I'm back in Paris soon. Le Bouquet des Archives is one block from us. That omelette looked TDF. And we will definitely be going to get THE SOUFFLE!!! Ohhhh. Looks so good. And I am dreaming about white asparagus! Love the gorgeous interior of Bouillion Chartier near Montparnasse, but not boudin. : )~ Your recommendations never disappoint! ❤❤❤
