Parisians: Will you help me to make a reservation?

Aidez, s%26#39;il vous plait! (I hope I spelled that right.. I%26#39;m trying to ask for help, please!). My French is not the best and there%26#39;s a place I would like to go to for dinner on Friday, February 13th. It%26#39;s the same day I arrive in Paris and I fear calling when I arrive will not guarantee I get a table. I am looking to dine at 7 PM for 2 people.





I have heard such good things about this place and I would really like to secure a table.

Can someone help me? Even if you are better at Google than me, an e-mail address would suffice. :)





Merci beaucoup!

I%26#39;m not a Parisian but feel like one because we%26#39;ve been here two weeks. Anyway, I just called the restaurant but they%26#39;re closed until Jan 5. I%26#39;ll try to remember to call again next week and post back.





By the way, 7pm is a bit early for dinner in Paris.

Would 8 PM be better? :) We are not fussy for the time and prefer to do %26quot;the right thing%26quot;. Thank you for trying to call! I really appreciate the help. I hope you will still be there when they open again and can reserve on my behalf. You have no idea how much it means to me!

Thats nice of you Paula.





Sunshowers, yes, 8 pm would be better, as in more common.. but if the restaurant is open at 7 pm, and that is when you%26#39;d actually like to dine, then dine at 7pm. this is your holiday, and you should not allow yourself to obsess on what %26quot; in%26quot; or out. As long as its open you can dine .

:) Thank you!





After thinking about it, 8 probably does make more sense. It would give us time to get there--more daylight hours for sightseeing.





We%26#39;re still searching for the perfect yet inexpensive place to have a special Valentine%26#39;s Day dinner the next day. I want to make sure we have reservations since Valentine%26#39;s Day will likely be busy in Paris!




|||



If you%26#39;re staying in a hotel, the front desk might make the reservation for you...




|||



Paula, if you are still around, can you help?





We have changed our minds and have decided for dinner at 8:30 (20h30).

Hi sunshower,





Good news: you now have a reservation for 2 at 8pm on Feb 13 (under the name %26quot;Shower%26quot;). You can come at 7:30pm if you like, but not earlier. He kindly requested you to call on the 12th to confirm if possible.





Enjoy !

Paula, you are my new hero!





Thank you!




|||



WOW I%26#39;m impressed. Way to go Paulalala.

A la Biche au Bois Rated 139 out of 4,184 restaurants in Paris. It%26#39;s now on my to do list. Always a good sign that the restaurant would like you to confirm the day before. Sounds like Good Eats to me. Bon Apetit.
