One of the teachers at the Lycée Hugues Capet is Monsieur Olivier Cormy. He teaches music, earned his education at the Sorbonne, and is a musical performance coach as well. He invited us to join him for a French gourmet meal in Paris at a restaurant owned by one of his friends. Of course, we agreed! The restaurant is called Bar à Manger or just BAM for short. To get to the restaurant, we parked at the Centre Georges Pompidou parking and walked a short way to la place du Châtelet. On a side street nearby, we found the restaurant.
These are the menus posted just outside. The lunch menu is very reasonable: Appetizer, main course, ad dessert for 19.50 Euros.
The building in which the restaurant is located probably dates back to the early Renaissance and the quarters are very tight, but it all works well. Here is Monsieur Cormy on the left lifting his glass in a toast as the girls cheerfully anticipate this wonderful meal.
Appetizers: Velouté de légumes and samosas de boudin noir.
Main dishes: Biryani de poulet and farfalle au porc et au saumon.
Main dish of maigret de canard dans une sauce madère avec des salsifis caramelisés aux amandes and dessert of strawberry-rhubarb crumble with cream sauce.
Desserts of fondant chocolat with sorbet aux framboises and pannacotta with a hommade cookie and mango sauce.
L to R: Laura, Piper, Lexi, the waiter (in the back), the restaurant owner, Monsieur Cormy, Charissa and Rachel.
