Le Grand Corona (Paris, FRANCE) ★★★☆☆

A visit to Paris without eating at a French bistro is kind of like visiting Egypt without seeing the pyramid. After spending the entire week in Paris without having a French onion soup or escargot, we knew a meal with some hearty French-style comfort food is long overdue.



It's so nice to finally see some sunshine following a week of rain and snow. Too bad we're leaving tomorrow morning (Weep!).



Since it's our last day in town, we are not going to be picky about where to eat as long as it has onion soup and escargot on the menu.



French onion Soup (€12.00) - Yes, finally I got my hands on this French classic. Well, actually Jelloman did.



This came with the usual gratinéed cheese, croutons and loads of onion. Not bad.



Chestnut cappuccino (€10.50) - I decided to check out some in-season chestnut myself and this foamy chestnut cappuccino was perfect. Very light but richly flavored with chestnut. A brilliant way to start off the meal.



Escargot (€17.50) - At last, some Burgundy snails with parsley garlic butter. Now where's the bread?



Le Grand Corona is more like a gastropub than a real French bistro but if you're just looking for a quick and simple meal like us, it's a nice option.
