I always said that Paris Loves Us

While working on finishing and fine tuning SearchAmelia’s new Amelia Island restaurant review site this morning, I received a restaurant submission with a surprise. The restaurant¬† in question is located in the heart of one of my favorite hang out areas in the world, the Montmartre 1st Arrondissement in Paris France. You know where Place du Tertre meets the l”Opera and life’s most valuable time is spend people watching.

Call me childish, but just to get a submission to SearchAmelia from Paris, France gives me the chills, knowing that we are making inroads into the heart and soul of French cuisine. It’s cool at least.

Here is the following email to show you that it is legit.

Your Review:

The Promenade lounge Restaurant is a long-running favourite in a part of Paris that’s traditionally come alive at night, the 1th arrondissment between the Opera and Montmartre. This lively corner venue has a fantastic ambience and a warm welcome and that indescribable thing that makes people let loose and have a great time. The décor is pseudo-retro-American with chrome bits and Route 66 memorabilia, comfy banquettes and a great curving bar to gather around. The innovative menu features dishes like mushroom ravioli with basil crème, and Indian lamb and creamed spinach with basmatic rice. The drinks are a universe unto themselves. There are djs and the doors don’t shut until two in the morning.

Wow, that goes way back into my personal history when Paris in the mid-late sixties was one of my “stomping” grounds. I played guitar and sang on Place du Tertre among the painters and pierots, the magicians and musicians. It was magic.

So permit me to share my enthusiasm about the fact that Promenade Newyorkais found SearchAmelia and found us worthy to submit their restaurant to our review site Amelia Bites. It’s an honor in my book.
I think we’ll leave it up (for now) even though it’s 4,000 miles across the ocean.
