not so hidden

March 26th, 2010

In November ’07 we went to Paris for Thanksgiving week and it was awesome. The first night we were there we had reservations at this place Hidden Kitchen, which was basically an underground restaurant it this couple’s house. I had read about it on a food blog and I’m a little crazy so we got ourselves on the list. After a late landing in the morning, practically missing our walking tour and a SIM card that wouldn’t work we had a shitty but exciting day. There was a metro strike and it took us 90 minutes to get there, eventually on foot. It was a weird night but really fun. We had an amazing time and stayed until the wee hours all jetlagged and silly.

I dug up this old pic of the menu:

I have thought about those 2 crazy kids over the past few years but without another trip to paris planned, didn’t bother investigating what they were up to.

To my surprise they were featured as a sneak peak on Design Sponge today. Needless to say this is a NEW place since we’ve been. They weren’t exactly “consultants for restaurants and food retail companies” back then but they were warm and sweet and had a great playlist on all night and a very friendly pup. It makes me so happy to see them succeed. Definitely, definitely try and go if you can while you are there. Our dinner was one of the highlights of our trip.
