It's hard during Restaurant week .... another night out.

Restaurant Flo Amsterdam (Culinairy Paris in the heart of Amsterdam) On the Rembrandtplein there is a small piece of Paris : Brasserie Flo Amsterdam. It's rebuild after a Parisian Brasserie. White table linnen, open kitchen, tables tight together, everything you breath is french inside here.


Fruit de Mer buffet when entering the Brasserie, like so many places in Paris. They serve of course real authentic food from Paris they have a nice menu.

Brasserie Leclerc - Montayral / France

Brasserie E. Leclerc
47500 - Montayral
tel : +33 55 340 4795

That not all lunches need to be expansive to deliver good food is proven by the many lunches available in France (especially this region - that I know off) for only a few euro's. For only € 10,50 you get a three course menu (€ 8,90 if you skip dessert). Of course it's not star level but price quality is extremely good. And coffee only € 1,00 ...

Entree
Salades Gesiers (look it up in the French dictionary :-) )

Main
Half a chicken (pasta and and spinach to go with it)

Dessert
3 kinds of pie

next to Leclerc their are so many restaurants offering a very well lunch for about € 15 (variating from € 11 to € 18). Even in the better restaurant they start doing that. And the quality is superb, and add it all up, sometimes cheaper than bying it yourself ...

In the heart of Weesp there is a kind of Brasserie style restaurant along the waterside. It's a huge place, very long that can hold up many people for dinner. It's an old 'Dutch" house where the wooden beams still can be seen.

The food is simple though perfect. During high season and nice weather it can be pretty busy. Prices are good, value is great and service is perfect as well.


while in the neighborhood place them a visit,
