Music at the Wallace – CMF summer residency
A brief review of an excellent concert at the Wallace Collection by the City Music Foundation. There's a link to their website, where you can find out about the rest of this week's program.
Resto 19 Des Gars Dans La Cuisine, Paris
The Marais has some jewels - especially the Musée de la Chasse et Nature (also bereft of vittles) - but you have to pay for them in the tedium of expensive crapshops, chainshit and a swarm of arseholes, some on scooters.
Resto 18 Brasserie Saint Maurice, Reims
Kudos to the guy in the Uruguayan rugby shirt for surprise outfit of the day.
Resto 17 Théâtre de Poche, Montparnasse
We took the salad of the day and a big planche of cheese with a couple of glasses of Chablis on the side. The salad turned out mostly to be pesto-stirred pasta with a few bits of veg secreted within. Palatable but not exactly what we were looking for. The cheese on the other hand was five varieties of the runny shiznit with a generous helping of rustic bread alongside - definitely a better option. The wine was too warm.
