While not quite as stylish as these bistros, the interior is wonderfully wild with animal heads on the wall (a giraffe is my favourite!), handbag lampshades, and a bulldog with fairy wings! The food is beautiful, but secondary to the surroundings. xxPink Faeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08141293279027038101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6383907926280689006.post-43522014128139818182012-02-08T18:51:13.929-08:002012-02-08T18:51:13.929-08:00Thanks Chateau de Lille, I fear I'm a bit of a...Thanks Chateau de Lille, I fear I'm a bit of an interior design geek. Must be because I'm so bad at interior design myself. There's a real art to it. Love your blog by the way. Love anything French. Fashion. Architecture. Gardens. Men. (Oops. Who said that?) Would even happily do the dance with Gerard if he wasn't with the beautiful Carole Bouquet.

(And many others belonging to the lovely commenters here.) Thanks for the sweet birthday wishes. RR gave me a lovely gift - an original copy of the New Yorker magazine from the day I was born. Plus The Australian newspaper. Very fitting. Do go to Comme; it's gorgeous for an after-work drink at the end of the week.<br /><br />PS Have just ducked over to your blog. THANK YOU for the mention. So sweet of you. I'm so glad you went to Karen Wager. She and I have been emailing each other about the Weston Peony Farm. She's lovely, isn't she? And I'm dying to visit the Drill Hall Emporium so will devour your photos now.<br /><br /> J xxxJanelle McCullochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16006727386237836016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6383907926280689006.post-85801657218481843532012-02-08T18:31:18.426-08:002012-02-08T18:31:18.426-08:00Thanks Glamour Drops, Tabitha and E, So lovely to ...Thanks Glamour Drops, Tabitha and E, So lovely to hear from you all.<br />Gorgeous bars are SO fab to visit, aren't they? I just shudder at the prices sometimes. Apparently there's a bar in NY that everyone's going to but the price of drinks means the average outlay is likely to be $1500. Just on drinks. In one evening.<br />Surely they're serving Chateau Lafite for that?!!<br />JxJanelle McCullochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16006727386237836016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6383907926280689006.post-26631672542782436852012-02-08T18:27:59.331-08:002012-02-08T18:27:59.331-08:00Hi Amelia / PVE, Thank you for kindly dropping by....Hi Amelia / PVE, Thank you for kindly dropping by. We love local bistros too. We love them because they're cosy and CHEAP! My partner, who must be half-Scottish because he hates spending more than $2.45 on a meal, protests if the menu doesn't have prices. And then he mutters things like: "$42 for a rack of lamb? Are we paying for the farmer's mortgage?" We went to France Soir recently and he had to pay $101 for the meal. He was so incensed he didn't leave a tip. Not even $9! (Which means we can never go back again...) So yes - we love cheap 'n' cheerful neighbourhood bistros as much as you do.Janelle McCullochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16006727386237836016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6383907926280689006.post-82868689862928685852012-02-08T17:41:24.515-08:002012-02-08T17:41:24.515-08:00I am so glad you are procratinating and spoiling u...I am so glad you are procratinating and spoiling us with your gorgeous posts!!

Will have to google him. Do you know, I did the same thing with Gordon Ramsay? Who knew he was so good looking in real life?? I was sent to interview him many years ago and because my culinary knowledge is so pathetic I dragged Matt Preston along. Ramsay ended up being startlingly attractive and SO charming away from the cameras, and I think I turned into one of those 60 Minutes reporters who just fawns at their interviewees. Oh, so humiliating!Janelle McCullochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16006727386237836016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6383907926280689006.post-63161578056713201322012-02-08T02:11:40.105-08:002012-02-08T02:11:40.105-08:00I stuck my nose into Bistro Guillaume on the way t...I stuck my nose into Bistro Guillaume on the way to Spice Temple recently. It wasn't the decor I was interested in though, I was desperate to see if the hunka hunka burning lurve himself was there. The most perfect bit of yumminess on the planet. Sadly there was no sign of His Royal Gorgeousness & my poor SIL who knows him well, had to drag me out before I made a complete idiot of myself, which is probably what I've just done here!!<br />Millie xxMilliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15408461724832141163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6383907926280689006.post-27747224278456493382012-02-07T21:40:17.429-08:002012-02-07T21:40:17.429-08:00Delightful selection.
