I took the lift down from the Eiffel Tower, crossed the Seine, and started to follow the road that goes along the river, and caught the tower between the trees. Dinner time was approaching, but along this road there were not any restaurants. I left the river road after some time. I passed one restaurant where the cook came out running with his cell phone high in hand. I skipped that one, went up a flight of steps, and came to a bigger crossing. Still no abundance of restaurants, but I saw a sign 20 metres away on one of the streets. I went there, and it was a great place. Unfortunately, I don't recall the exact name, but it was a little funny, somewhat un-French. Very nice family-like atmosphere with just the right level of elegance. Nice decoration, with the odd element of the ice-cream box draped in a British flag. The food was very good too! I must go there again next time I'm in Paris. The street is Avenue Pierre 1er de Serbie, just a few blocks south of Arc de Triomphe.
