Vagabond Artist

The other night we got invited to go to dinner Institut du Mond Arab on the roof top terrace restaurant. Luckily it was not raining. Some really lovely people came to visit my atelier and see the mass of paintings that I've done since I came to Paris then invited us to dinner.

It was too cold to eat outside where there are lovely mosaic tables but inside the tables were set with beautiful orange and red fabric. The restaurant is all glass so the fabulous view of Paris is to die for. The sky was grey but on a sunny day to watch the sunset must be incredible. You can see everything fromLa Defense on the horizon to Notre Dame, Sacre Coeure, Beaubourg, Bastille, the ugly hire rises in Place des Fêtes, and all the way to the east.

The restaurant offers three menus, a grill for a minimum of two for Euro 150, then a menu of dishes to choose from for Euro75 per person and the last menu 50 pp. Drinks are extra. We didn't reserve but it is a good idea to do so. Most of the dishes are Libanese but then there are tajine and couscous. One would think that it is expesnive for same dishes that are easily available all over Paris but the quantity and quality are the best I've ever tasted and the view is great plus you are eating in a museum.

I definitley want to go back but it was nice to be invited. <°,¨)))-<
