We chose Le Bistro les San Culuttes because A) they had wines prominently listed on blackboards outside their café, and B) Paris had granted us pleasant weather, and there were outside seats available. A quick glance at the interior showed what I like to call a “rustic” look – nice wooden floors and tables, comfortable lighting, an inviting bar…dare I say there was even a hint of English pub??

The note on the door simply said that it would reopen in September. Not easily beaten, Christian and I immediately regrouped and found the nearest place selling wine by the bottle.

I somehow drew the short straw, but before I could take my seat in what seemed like an 18” gap between the bar and the window, the waiter had to pull another occupied table out of the way so he could move ours. Grinning and cracking smartass comments all the way, he waited for me to crawl in then shut off my exit. The bastard was clearly enjoying the entire thing.

Everybody knows and loves crepes. If you don’t, it means you’ve either never been served a proper one, or you’re not worthy to be reading this self-declared mecca of Parisian gastronomy.
