As an avocado fan, I couldn't help but notice . . .
. . . the unusual technique employed by the chef in the photo where two slices are layered on top of a fillet of lobster. Normally, one would cut an avocado in half, but the chef employed an angled cut for aesthetic effect.

Dinner at Restaurant Guy Savoy and our Paris Vacation
We just returned from our wonderful vacation to Paris. Traveling with our daughter and living in a Parisian apartment actually made trip unique as we experienced life as a local for a week. There was less museum or shopping but more quality time strolling...
Fantastic post!
thanks for sharing it. I've tried most of the big chefs in France. You've jst made me want to try this one again! Cheers!
definately worth another visit...
While strolling to musee d' orsay, we bumped into this place..but we just didn't have the energey or time to hit this...next time!...
Awesome trip!
You are making me reminisce about Paris. Honestly, during all of my visits of Paris, I have never eaten anything that I thought was very good. This will be a nice alternative to eating Baguettes and Laduree's club sandwich for my next trip to Paris. Thank...
Patrick, we are still dreaming of Paris..
Most of our meals in a sit down sitting were pretty good but my daughter being a Chinese baby, we had to hit some Asian places. And man, we were disappointed. They made Panda Express seem like gourmet.
That look so good I could almost taste the meal
Thank you very much for taking us with you. We should be there over Xmas and we are sure swing by and see Nico! Thanks Bill

You captured the light and spirit of the city very well. Food looked fabulous, but French cheese is my gastronomic Achilles heel. That plate looked incredible.
Thanks mrsnak...

Fabulous post, from start to finish.

Looks like you had a great time both in the city as well as a fabulous dinner---with some great wines! best henry

when my daughter is a bit older we want to go the Vegas location... thanks for your kind words...
Looks like an incredible meal for a special event.
Your photos are really great. I am trying to compare the quantity of food served, the sum of several small portions. Where I live when we go out for a fancy meal it is a BIG steak or a 4-5 pound lobster. No wonder I do not feel good after dinner. Thanks f...
all these little portions...
add up to a huge meal..and the never-ending desserts... we were STUFFED...just as if we ate a big steak dinner... Thanks for visiting...
You caught the true spirit of Paris, my friend.

The pictures really whet my appetite for dinner in Paris. I haven't been to France in several years, but hope to visit again one day. There is no more romantic city in the world than Paris. Cheers, Daos
Thanks Daos...
I was chatting with another coworker that just got back..this city is pretty amazing... and I have realized that the best part of our visit was that one hour walking alone the Seine along the cobblestones at sunset (the large cobblestones woke my kid up f...

Faisal...I too wish all meals are to be enjoyed and savored over 4 hours like this one..but it as a tourist..it was just not possible every meal that we were there...or we would be unable to fit in the seats coming back home...LOL
