Dinner at "Bon"!


I had dinner at Bon's last evening, one of these restaurants conceived to attract "the rich crowd". They all use the same recipe: nice location (16th arrondissement), nice decor (by Starck, whose else?!), theme cuisine (Asia something), pouting waiters and priceless prices... In the end the experience was not that bad, after all ; the food is really "bon" (bon means good in French) and the atmosphere was a nice change from Mc Donald's! Shame I did not get to see what makes Bon's pride: its library, nor its fireplace nor its wine room. Maybe next time...

  1. You make me laugh, Eric! And I refuse to believe that you ever eat the stuff that passes for food at McD.

  2. Judging by the table setting -- it looks like you were early for a dinner party. No.?

  3. Yay, Yay, Yayyy!!! I love photos like this.."slice of life" as I say...especially tables set for dinner!! I am sure you all remember the one of the group dinner set outside with all the glasses turned upside down..another favorite. I wonder how long ago that was??? Huhhh??

  4. Ah, oui, pas mal, pas mal. Sheesh. Life is sooo difficult sometimes...

    Eric: are going to answer Alexa or wait for somebody else, like a certain American expat?

  5. You make it look appetizing, Eric. But I've never heard of a restaurant with a library, that's unique.

  7. Ah the 16me! Land of Elderly Ladies walking their poodles while wearing Chanel! I find it a little scary quiet there at night. I prefer the Marais. Tell me Eric, did you ever try the Fois Gras Burger at Quick?!? Delicieux!!!! :)"

  12. You had me at "library" and totally got me at "fireplace"! Love, love, love the idea!! :) Sounds like it is a little much for the pocketbook, but worth it in memories.

  13. I thought it said Kong, the restaurant that was featured in Sex in the City. Send me back to remedial reading.

    I judge an unknown restaurant by the table setting.....so this looks enticing.

  14. Quite the sleek design. I am trying to figure if those are stools to sit on.

  15. @Alexa "And I refuse to believe that you ever eat the stuff that passes for food at McD" Er...

    @Lois Simon "Judging by the table setting -- it looks like you were early for a dinner party. No.?" Yes! A 7 people dinner - 6 working in the television business!

    @Tonton. " I am sure you all remember the one of the group dinner set outside with all the glasses turned upside down" I do, but I've been unable to find it. that's what happens when you publish - almost - 6 years of photos!!

    @Jeff. "like a certain American expat?" This expat was not part of the dinner!

    @Petrea " But I've never heard of a restaurant with a library, that's unique." Really? We have quite a few here - but not big ones. This comment reminds me of this!

    @Dodo "First time i make myself visible here, i 'm a happy long time lurker who enjoys immensely this beautiful city through your wonderful pictures- thanks!" Well, welcome. Good one for a first!

    @Beau Gosse. "Tell me Eric, did you ever try the Fois Gras Burger at Quick?!? " I did (I even posted a photo of it) see here.

    @Flore. Tiens c'est vrai ça, y longtemps qu'on n'a pas déjeuné ensemble...

    @Anonymous "(: ˙ʇı ǝʌol ı ˙ʇdǝɔuoɔ ǝɔ lɐıuǝƃ ʇsǝ,ɔ" how dod you do that??

    @PHX-CDG. Yeah Bon or Kong, same thing!!

    @Lydia "Quite the sleek design. I am trying to figure if those are stools to sit on." Yes they are.

  16. I'd love a library in a restaurant! But if they're going to start putting them in McDonald's, I'll never see them!

    If I were still blonde, I might take offense...
