We didn't have a lot of time in Paris, but Phoebe and I decided we wanted a long leisurely lunch at a typically Parisian restaurant that was off the beaten track. A lot of the Michelin starred restaurants are closed over the summer, and after lots of research we stumbled across La Gare in the La Muette area of Paris, a short 15 minute walk from the Trocadero. Described as one of the 'trendiest' restaurants in Paris, it sounded right up our street, and the menu looked perfect!
We had reserved a table for 1pm, although we needn't have done so. A lot of the Parisians are out of town during summer (hence a lot of restaurants are closed), and as it's off the tourist path it was very quiet. We found it very easily; an impressive building, it used to be a train station (hence the name, La Gare), and headed inside.
