Comments on: Drouant restaurant, Paris http://www.notquitenigella.com/2008/08/04/drouant-restaurant-paris/ The slightly eccentric eating and cooking adventures of a Sydney girl who loves cakes, cooking, Nigella Lawson and eating. She eats, breathes and dreams food and indeed will never get cable TV as she'd quit working and watch the Food Channel all day long.

I was impressed even by the dark chocolate squares and candied orange. And how lovely to have met Monsieur de Ville. Somehow I can't imagine something like that happening in London. The food sounded lovely Lorraine, thanks for sharing :) I felt like I was browsing at postcards Lorraine - it was all very beautiful!

The stuffed vegetables were good but the duck livers with peaches (an a la carte selection) was so much better. Plat du jours are good though, it's at least a reasonable way to try some very expensive restaurants!

My husband still remembers the duck livers and peaches fondly. Hi Non-Cook-Thanks!

Hi grace-It was such a great place to have lunch and such a good deal too! Hehe sounds like their reputation may have spread across the pond ;) Hi Popeye-The peaches and duck liver were out of this world good. And I'm not a big Offal person either! Hi Lilia-Yes I think it would hard to get a bad dish here! Yes the Napoleon apartments were very red velvet and gold, quite stunning really!

Seem everything that they cook are great. The Napoleon Dining Room, I've been there and I was seeing all red and gold. I would love to see how busy it was in Napoleon's time and try the food, but I bet Drouant can cook better ;) Sound like a great restaurant. Seem everything that they cook are great.
