I use a canon sureshot elf 450. i bought because it is very thin and fits in my chef's jacket pocket. The restaurant didn't seem to mind - granted we tried to be discreet at first - but then the waiters got into it, wanting to see the pictures after we'd taken them. <br/><br/>My friends, who whom I dined on this occassion, went back to l'Ambroisie last week and brought copies of the pictures to the staff and they were thrilled.

May I inquire what camera you used to capture these exquisite photos?

I popped by your falafel place on rue des rosiers last week. You’re right, it was awesome!<br/><br/>Merci Nawal! Merci a vous! Et oui, je suis tres chanceuse! :-) <br/><br/>Bonjour Mercotte – Merci beaucoup pour vos mots gentils. Le prix, alors...... je ne veux pas dire exactement mais c’est pres de la prix d'Anonymous en bas! Ooh la la!<br/><br/>Hi Brett – Thanks, the meal was amazing. It is incredible how the internet has opened the world and made it borderless. Falafels in the Marais and those OEUFS are also amazing... though perhaps not in that order ;-)<br/><br/>Hi Moby – Thank you. It would take a book to truly pay homage to that meal but at some point i will try to write up a description and I’ll let you know. Suffice to say the lamb was the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly cooked (pink) and juicy beyond belief. The scallops with truffles and broccoli were other-worldly. I was just amazed at how each piece of broccoli was perfect and god bless the poor intern that had to find and cut them!<br/><br/>Hi U.E. – Exactly or “tout a fait” as they say here. Celebrating a tremendous accomplishment or a momentous occasion make the meal so much more delicious. The price was about in the range of what Anonymous’ bill came to, just multiply that by 2 and add some as there were 4 of us.............. Hi Anne – Thanks for the recommendation.

The bill was $500 with tip and tax for 2 for lunch with a 1/2 bottle of wine and no dessert. They were a little traditional for my taste (not the food) as evidenced by the fact that prices were listed only on my husband's copy of the menu. It was fun and interesting, but I probably won't return. By contrast, for $250 my husband and I had an exquisite dinner with a bottle of wine and dessert at C Restaurant in Vancouver, BC.

The internet is so fun. I love the fact that the comments are as much about the falafel in the neighborhood as they are about that amazing sounding 110€ egg dish. Your meal sounds amazing.
