The above depicts one of the best desserts we have ever had. It's strawberries and parsley, with parsley ice cream. Sounds stasnge, right? It is, but it's totally awesome. This restaurant was probably the culinary highlight of the trip. It's a young(ish) chef creating inventive French dishes. It seemed as if most of the (many) patrons were French as well. Merri had Veal wth onions and peppers in a vanilla (not sweet) sauce that was dynamite and I had Cochon de Lait (kind of like veal, but piglet instead of baby cow) with a cream sauce and cinnamon/fennel/asian pepper. Also amazing. If you're ever in Paris, this restaurant is a must!

How did you find out about this restaurant? How were the prices? The picture is no longer there. Sounds amazing.
We found out about Le Pre Verre from a list of the best restaurants in Paris (it was around the corner from our hotel and the author of the website said that Parisians line up to go there, which is a good sign) - then we looked it up on tripadvisor and saw that it was rated #25 of 3000+ restaurants in paris by users and called a great value. Turns out there is a two- page writeup of the restaurant in our book on the 50 best restaurants that Annie G. got me for my birthday but we didn't know that until after we got home. It was really special - you should definitely go there when you go back to Paris!
