Dined at a private supper club which I think is relatively popular among tourists, especially Americans since the chefs themselves are Americans. Interesting concept about this is that we weren't at a restaurant but in an apartment in central Paris. Each night, they serve 16 people (seated around a big table) 10 courses with paired wines (menu will be shown below). As a result of the arrangement (and of the wine), everyone began chatting with each other non-stop throughout the dinner and decibels were rising towards the end. We made a number of friends: an Israeli couple living just outside Paris, a French manager working at a Michelin-starred restaurant and his British girlfriend, and an American gay couple. The food wasn't extremely impressive (if you were to compare to other fine-dining restaurants) but we absolutely love the whole experience of dining at someone's house and making new friends over good food & good wine. The casual atmosphere made us feel quite at ease.
The courses that I liked: linguini with mussels & clams, stewed rabbit, crispy pork belly
The hosts: Braden & Laura, as well as Meg the assistant posing beside their really really petite kitchen!
Nearing the end of the meal, their terrier came out to greet all of us :) It's cute how he rest his head & paws on the table..not to beg for food or anything but just to say hi.
The meal lasted 4 hours. Wanted to head out for some halloween party after that but we were too tipsy after 6 glasses of wine & 1 vodka. Heh.
