I know Skopik & Lohn, and it's very good, but I still have a soft spot for Figlmuller, because for a tourist restaurant, the quality is actually very decent, especially for the prices they charge.

Now you find me surprised. Figlmüller is considered to be a tourists' trap in Vienna. And nobody there (I am from Vienna) would recommend going there to visitors. The Wiener Schnitzel consists mainly of "Panade" because they flatten out the meat to extreme forms.

Please try the Schnitzel at Skopik & Lohn next time you are there.

But we agree completely on Plachutta. I even searched the dictionaries to find out with would be the French name for Tafelspitz to try and recreate that Austrian signature dish here.

Thanks, Nicholas. I know "Le Petit Sud Ouest," but I want someone to do a duck restaurant in Paris where the bird will be cooked as well as it is at La Tupina in Bordeaux.

For a duck specialist have you tried "Le Petit Sud Ouest" there are a few in western Paris.

Le Petit Canard is okay, but I think the quality of French duck merits someplace seriously better.
