"This my tenth visit to Paris I had chosen Le Taillevent to be my one top level meal treat, having read Patricia Wells considers it one of, if not the best, restaurant in Paris.Who am I to argue? I was very much looking forward to the three course lunch choice which included two glasses of wine chosen at the sommeliers discretion, cost E104. Top hatted doorman - check. Graciously greeted in the entrance foyer by Madam and escorted to my banquet seat against the wall in the second room - check. Looking at my surroundings I found an elegantly appointed clubby type atmosphere with a mixture of business men, families celebrating and a sprinkling of Americans (myself included) - check. I was content and very happy to be in this subdued, iconic dining spot just behind the Champs Elysees..An apirative flute of champagne started me off nicely accompanied by the amuse bouche of two pastry wrapped mini shrimp along with a quartet of scrumptious gougeres. I ordered the lobster risotto entre, followed by duck breast a L 'orange, both of which were prepared perfectly. With the risotto came a glass of crisp white wine, while a light red accompanied the duck, both well suited to each course. Dessert was Baba aux fruit rouge, one of my favorite choices when in France, as only the French can make it.A pot of tea and a trio of mini pastries brought this meal to a most satisfying conclusion, one of the best I've had in Paris to date. It was just the right amount of food, balanced to perfection, served by a staff of gracious top professionals in lovely surroundings. Patricia Wells, you were right on!I was very comfortable dining solo here and would definitely consider returning when I am once again in my favorite city in the world."
