A Kir Royale to Celebrate our 55th Anniversary by Beausoleil
We discovered La Bonne Excuse in 2014 by accident and fell in love with it. The kitchen is open so you can watch the excellent chef. It's small but very friendly. We went there for our 50th wedding anniversary and had a wonderful time including being wished a happy anniversary by everyone in the restaurant instigated, I'm sure, by the owner. When we returned 18 months later, they remembered us which was a big surprise. Then we decided to do our 55th anniversary here and not only did they remember us, we were escorted to "our table." They seem to remember everything. Once when I asked for a vegetable substitution, the chef came out to ask what vegetables I liked and then delivered the plate to me asking if it was suitable. Not only was it suitable, it was delicious and beautiful. He had added edible flower blossoms to the vegetables. It's a little out of the way on rue de Verneuil which is a small side street, but it is an easy walk from the Orsay and several other very popular places.

Our 55th anniversary at La Bonne Excuse in Paris by Beausoleil
This has turned into our favorite Paris restaurant. It's a bit out of our price range but we try to go at least once on each trip. They always remember us and we have our own table which feels very special. The food is always fresh and good and it is quiet and friendly. It's also very handy to the Musée d'Orsay although on one of the back streets, rue Verneuil.

End the day with a kir whenever possible . . . by Beausoleil
We walked a thousand miles on a very hot day and as we neared home, we thought a nice cold kir would improve the day tremendously. It did . . .

Time for a kir . . . by Beausoleil
Our boulangerie was closed on Thursdays so we decided to have a kir at Cave Bourgogne overlooking Fontaine Guy Lartigue. It didn't give us bread but it made us feel better.
