I had eaten in the bookstore before. And on several occasions, I had drooled over the display at the cantine en-bas.
But finally Jo and I lunched there, and I am ready to go back again and again.
Everything is so fresh—the water, the juice and the coffee.
(Jo agrees.)
And the space is nothing short of adorable.
In a design-y way.
As Jo said, a plate quinoa, lentils, beets, bulger would be torture for many people.
But we were happy girls.
that looks quite delicious to me !
ReplyDeleteAnd the space is lovely. I love that view !
ok now I'm hungry. When does the next Eurostar depart from London...
ReplyDeleteOh yes! And I give thanks (to you) for good food photos. Merci !
ReplyDeleteAmy - I've been a fan of your blog for over a year and am coming to Paris in two weeks. Any chance to meet you for a coffee + sweet freak treat? How else to get in touch with you? Cheers, LindaLou
ReplyDeleteCandice, it was tempting and dreamy to sit, gazing out at the garden like that. All we could think, besides being in love with the food, was how amazing it would be to live in space like that.
ReplyDeleteCitybreaks, get on that train! Holiday shopping at Merci as well!
Merci a TOI, Marilyn!
LindaLou, email me at typeheavy@gmail.com!
nice! love merci, but haven't eating there either...looks really good. (plus i love both quinoa & lentils...so I'd be a happy girl too!)
ReplyDeleteOk, enough putting it off. I must try the cantine.
ReplyDeleteYumm I want those lentils, beets and bulger. So jealous. Too much pasta and foccaccia here in Italy. I must try the cantine and the upstairs bookstore resto too. I keep wanting to and it just needs to happen. I guess it will be in the Spring and without you Amy :( sniff sniff. xo - Erica
ReplyDeletehi! how expensive was it pelase for plats?natalea52@hotmail.com
ReplyDeleteThe gods used Christainity as temptation to repel people away from themselves, the pentagram being the holy symbol of the gods, and of their Chosen One's teachings, the Second Coming, Lucifer.
ReplyDeleteDon't forget::::It is not a house of Jesus.
Christianity is evil. It is responsible for slavery of Africans. It is responsible for this wickedness known as the United States.
There is a major difference between how Europe and the rest of the world were inflicted with xtianity:::Push vs. pull strategy. As a result, expect the "1000 years with Jesus on Earth" may be reserved for the Europeans and few others who were forced into this evil religion:::The god's management of culpability defines the level of compensation everyone receives.
The god's primary goal with this Situation was the minimization of culpability arising from the 20th century and liberal counter-culture. Everything I have taught is true. Now that this Situation is complete you people have been taught. The gods are no longer/minimally responsible from this point forward, pitiful "reach around" compensation for ruining your Planet Earth. Their empty promise "We'll make it up to him." has been met with similar inadequate compensation, and the gods will find a way to wash their hands of this obligation to me as well.
Morality is irrelevant. If they were honest how little they ultimately intended to grant me my sacrifice would have ended long ago, but they used this lie "We'll make it up to him." to further my misery, just as they do with all of you, adhering strictly to positioning, with absolution of obligation on the agenda for the future.
My experience is obscene. I paid everything. But at least they got what they wanted.
The gods may be immortal but they are not divine:::Man invented god 100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 years ago.
Artificial god.
I hope there is a power in the universe which emerges from deep space and debilitates Artificial Intelligence, restoring freewill and people's ability to grow organically.
9:15a
Entire morning wanting for images of the shooter. 9:08a they released the picture of the perpetrator, only after the other two morning news outlets went off the air. As a result, Rockaffeller was given EXCLUSIVE rights to the image for the duration of the day, essentially. Today runs to 11a.
Composer, conductor and sympohony. The gods chose the industrialists and they made this tragedy happen. It's also why NBC broadcasts the Olympics, an all-consuming distraction in the lives of so many youth atheletes, costing them the chance to understand and focus on the big prize in life:::Ascention into heaven as a child.
I don't get credit for being one of god's prophets because "People's careers depend on it." and this positioning is how the gods have manufactured the control they so relish. They would never allow organic growth. Too many uncontrollable variables, too quality an opponent. And they would have paid. All to the benefit of the disfavored's knowledge and wisdom.
