Those Greek guys in the Latin Quarter seem to be a bunch of fun chaps with whom I would not mind hanging out. They stand in front of their restaurants 8 hours a day, breaking plates left and right as if pottery grows on tree. Periodically, they burst out to a chorus of "Opa!" (Roughly translated: "Here comes another unsuspecting tourist with an indiscriminating palate; let's celebrate their shortcomings!").
The food is mediocre at best, the price is high, and the décor is straight out of What To Do With Thrift Shop Leftovers. After 30 minutes of getting your fingers smelly with cheap food and asking yourself why on earth you ended up here, you leave the restaurant feeling foolish. (OK, so perhaps feeling foolish is not that big of a deal to some of us, but do we really need to pay hard-earned money for the experience?)
If you truly want Greek food, find it where there is no human bait and broken plates at the front door. Either that or go to those take out gyro places -- it is not the best Greek quality, but it is not going to cause any damage to your budget or your pride either.

Your Pere Lachaise Cemetery tip was beautiful - I "felt" with you! Personally, I love that place - very peaceful. I always have to stop and say "Hello, I love you" to Jim Morrison... | mvtouring Mon Apr 14, 2008 12:07 UTC
Brilliant tips ;-) | parismumsie Fri Mar 21, 2008 14:15 UTC
Your photos of la Tour Eiffel are stunning. Would love to know what settings you used to get the beautiful "sparkly" one! | clementine31129 Fri Feb 1, 2008 21:09 UTC
From the center of the city, how long did it take for you to walk here? |
