La Campanella, Paris France
Brasseries are the way to eat in Paris and much of Europe. What I love about them is allow you to slow down and look at where your feet are and enjoy the moment. A leisurely lunch with friends where you enjoy several courses and coffee in the middle of the day is my idea of a break mid-day.
La Campanella is one such brasserie. Located at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, they serve typical French lunch fare: omelets, steak with frites, salads, and sandwiches. Tommy, Elizabeth, Myself and Elizabeth’s co-worker, Yan Ping sat down to lunch and were treated to a wonderful meal at this quaint little restaurant.
Tommy and I both ordered the Croque Madame. This classic French sandwich is essentially a grilled ham and cheese sandwich with more cheese bruleed on the top and crowned with a fried egg. This monster was served with frites and a simple salad. This was a filling lunch, but we were famished after a morning of taking in the Parisian sites so we were quick to eat it all.
The girls opted for paninis. Elizabeth had the ham and cheese panini and Yan Ping ordered the curried chicken version. These too were served salad and frites. All the sandwiches met approval and gave us the much needed energy to tackle a busy Louvre on a free admission Sunday!
