Daily Bread - Paris

Pain Quotedien (Daily Bread) At the foot of rue Mouffetard, 5th arrondisement, with a fine view of the frenetic market. Just fabulous food. Fresh, unpretentious and unspoilt quality ingredients. The Brunch on a Saturday defies superlatives. Giant plate. Four cheeses (Emmental, chevre of some sort, Brie etc.); cured ham, scrambled eggs (one daughter was aghast that her simple boiled egg could taste that good); smoked salmon with a piece of lemon to crush the juice; crunchy salad with a Roquefort dressing and tomatoes that tasted of the tomato plant; rye bread, wholemeal and croissant; a choice of six spreads - chocolate, praline, apricot and the other three I didn't have room for; fresh butter; two bowls of coffee (hot chocolate if you prefer); orange juice. Just 19€ the lot. I couldn't possibly have eaten it all.

My other daughter argued like Hell with the waiter who didn't want to let two of us share the Brunch - but we won in the end. My daugher assures me that they don't usually argue like that.
