May 2011

I originally reserved Mavrommatis online so we could try Carl Marletti for their sweets, but because of the holiday they were closed (this keeps happening to me in May in Paris). When we went to look at their menu a guy told us they were closed that day and we can go to their other restaurant, Les Delices d’Aphrodite. So much for the online reservation!!

We had their spread sampler and at 20 E it was a joke. It looked like two TBS of few bland spreads. The only standout was the smoke eggplant and tomatoes. We then waited for more than half an hour for our mousaka and guess what they handed our mousaka to the guy next to us by mistake. After a few bites he returned it. I was so mad and ready to leave, because I had lots of things planned and wanted my food. One of the waiters said it is worth the wait and he was right. The guy who runs this place was a jerk though. We liked the mousaka so much we had it again the following night at their Lafayette’s branch with a tasty Greek salad.
