Giallo Oro - Paris

90 bis avenue de Versailles, 75016 Paris

24-03-2013

An excellent authentic little Italian restaurant in Paris. Welcome was great, as was the mixed antipasto starter, main course (penne arrabiata), and dessert (tiramisu). Portions of pasta and dessert were large, and quality was excellent - but don't expect to sleep if you finish your plate! This one's going on my saved-places list for next time I'm in the area.

Hôtel Kyriad Paris Ouest Bezons - Bezons

80 Avenue Gabriel Péri, 95870 Bezons

24-03-2013

I've stayed at an utterly terrible Kyriad close to Lyon airport, so I wasn't expecting much from this place. It was however reasonable for the price and location. Breakfast (included) was basic. Rooms were small, but sufficient. Bathroom recently decorated, and using reasonable quality materials. Windows onto the street included secondary double glazing - so reasonably quiet. WiFi was free, however not fast, and I couldn't get VPN to connect.

Volfoni - Boulogne Billancourt

14-16 Boulevard de la République, 92100 Boulogne Billancourt

24-03-2013

Very nicely designed place, with plenty of space and a covered terrace so it wasn't too noisy when I visited with a large group.

The Veal Parmigiana was large, and tasty plus served with salad (not pasta). Starter and dessert were not especially interesting.  

It was pleasant enough, but if you're looking for great Italian food - I'd find a smaller, less commercial restaurant.

Hôtel Mercure Paris Porte de Saint Cloud - Boulogne Billancourt

37 Place René Clair, 92100 Boulogne Billancourt

24-03-2013

This an old hotel given a fresh coat of paint to bring it up to modern standards of appearance, however it is still somewhat aging at heart. The walls are thin - so sound isolation between rooms and the corridor is poor. The room they put me in first was situated next to the air-handling system (room 614) - and filled with a constant drone of the sound of the fans. Thankfully they moved me just down the hall to a quieter room (617), however this was right next to the elevators - so I was occasionally woken by the ding of the lifts arriving (why do they do that all night?), and conversations outside of my room.

Checkout is slow at peak time (8:30-9:00) so allow a good 20 minutes before you need to leave.

Yes - it is in a good location, and it is Paris, but I would have expected a lot more for EUR 180.

Shiva Restaurant Indien - Grenoble

I can't believe it has taken me this long to visit this place. Awesome butter chicken, superb fresh naan, lovely samosa starters, and kingfishers beer. I'll have to revisit sometime to check on their more tomatoes based sauces, but from this initial visit they get a 5 star.

Does what it says on the tin reliably for a reasonable price. American Chinese restaurant with a good friendly bar area. Chicken lettuce wraps are a great low carb option. Winner.

Pizzeria Rotolo - Grenoble

Great value for money via their special (starter, pizza, desert), and some innovation in the bbq pizza, however nothing really special to make the stand out from the crowd.

Sawat Dee - Grenoble

Normally when I see a restaurant with pictures of the food on menu, I run a mile, but in this case a second look is warranted. Unlike many of the Asian restaurants in Grenoble, it isn't a combo of thailandaise and other styles. They just do Thai. I had the green chicken curry, which was mildly spicy in French terms, and had a good flavor, and lightly cooked vegetables. 3 stars for the moment, and I'll need to revisit to try more of the menu.

Hilton San Francisco Fisherman's Wharf - San Francisco

Old, slightly tired Hilton in a good central location in Fisherman's Wharf. Single glazed windows. Excessive parking charges. Not good value for money.
