Aside from Le Vaudeville, I haven’t had a decent meal in a Flo brasserie in a a dog’s age and they’ve become expensive. Le Bristol, on the other hand, is a favorite!

I had two sets of American friends asking for recommendations this August. One couple went to (like the Obamas) Fontaine de Mars and one of the Flo brassieres and were very happy with both. The other couple wanted to celebrate a bit more, so I sent them to the Bristol for lunch in the garden. Still waiting to hear back.Fermin Le Barbier sounds great!
