The International Postmen’s convention was in session at Les Pipos. On hand were Pierre, mon facteur, John Cheney, my old postman back in California and his wife Susanne.

Woody Allen often ate here during the filming of Midnight in Paris.

John and Susanne have made it their canteen during a one month stay in Paris.

The 3 guys ordered pavés de charolais with perfectly fried frites for 16.50 euros. The meat was simply seasoned with sea salt as were the crunchy fries.

Susanne had what she described as the best pork dish she ever had. A bottle of Chiroubles was passed around and an assortment of cheeses rounded out a perfect, simple meal.

Additional comment would be superfluous.

Bistros

No one should have a bad meal in Paris! Whether a 2-star restaurant or a local bistro there should always be an excellent rapport qualité prix– relationship between price and quality. At my favorites you will be treated as a regular and have a satisfying experience. Just tell them  “Terrance sent you.”
