Brasseries de Paris

Once again, about Paris.

The best way to eat something really good, not at all expensive at any time of the day in Paris is going to a brasserie. Brasseries are usually more elegant and expensive than bistros, where waiters are not professional and the choice is not so wide.

At a brasserie you might be able to choose between eating "coté restaurant", more expensive and elegant, or "coté brasserie", cheaper. I always choose the last one, because I love the sandwiches and salads they offer.

In my last trip to Paris I found a new Brasserie that I specially liked. We found it the day we went to the Marmottan Museum (Monet museum), at the 16eme arrondisement: La Rotonde de la Muette (m: La Muette; 12 Chaussée de la Muette). Great Caesar Salad, lovely french hamburger and chicken breast with tomatoe sauce which really seemed home-made. It was about 12 euros p/p.
