"Noticed your inquiry while surfing...for our upcoming trip.

Don't know if it's the best - I've enjoyed it everywhere - but loved the presentation at Le Relais Odeon (right across from the metro station on Blvd St-Germain. We love that place for lunch anyway.

High quality beef is presented on a plate surrounded by all the condiments and garnishes, so you can make it yourself. I enjoy that, since I prefer no more than a drop of Tabasco. Even when they prepare it tableside, they insist on plenty of Tabasco no matter what you say!

This is a vintage spot - a terrace, room next to the terrace - great for watching the passing parade, a warren of rooms with a lovely Fin de Siecle room in back, also a lovely (and peaceful) terrace out the back door.

The salad a chevre chaud is outstanding here. And, in the warm weather, the cafe glace is outstanding!"

sorry, but this is 100% tourist place!
come on, be a clever tourist, avoid touristic restaurants!

in the same area, prefer the "Comptoir du Relais", on Carrefour de l'Odéon!

Thank you for your message in my blog. Congratulations to you and your wife as well! Yes, I was spotting during week 6 and 8, and I believe Duphaston table and injectable hCG like Pregnyl and Gonacor really made the difference. My last shot was actually administered by my husband in Vienna because we were traveling. Having baby is really a miracle, and we already feel blessed that we conceived after trying for almost two years and got this far after a miscarriage. Now we're dealing with fibroids and gestational diabetes, but am constantly reminded that a positive attitude can work wonders.
