After an hour of driving around Paris in a big tourist bus, we proceeded to Saint Michel. The bus dropped us off two blocks away from the restaurant and then we walked for a minute or so to Place Saint Andre des Arts where the restaurant is.
12:00—- Lunch at Chez Clement

They used copper cookwares as the restaurant’s main decor
Main door’s knob
Whala, nice interior with eclectic motif with some medieval, country, romantic, feel.
Stairs landing
White limestone staircase
Second floor decor is like a French cottage.
On this side naman is like French provincial (Provence)
Our companions looked beaten. The flight daw from Manila was full kaya they were not able to sleep in the plane. They didn’t like the food either, which was the opposite naman of what we had. We ate every food served on the flight. Or matakaw lang talaga kami.

Pwede pa lang yung mga lumang kutsara gawing wall decor
We dined on the second floor which was more private and quieter.

Our first course, appetizer:
Oh no, I don’t eat this. It smelled so good and the olive oil/lemon/garlic was they poured on top of the snails was so good too.
Everybody loved the mashed potato.
We had a slice of baked chicken with meat so tender. The beef was a bit tigas.
Creme brulee in Manila restaurants and caterings are in tiny containers. Prang tikim lang. Dito the container is as big as a saucer.
I am not fond of creme brulee but I finished this one. Theirs was perfectly cooked, not so sweet.
This was a good birthday lunch blow-out. No, I didn’t pay. I was just a guest pero parang blow-out ko na rin ito. Last year we were in Turkey with the same group.
