I really enjoy the Five Great articles. How about a five best for cous-cous?

The oysters were average to tasteless. The service really awful. No excuses, it was 19.00 on sunday!
The waitress asked if I had finished with 3 oysters left (in Paris how can this happen?). Then she asked if I wanted cafe, which was part of the menu. Then asked later if I wanted anything else. Came back 10 mins later, asked the same thing, the answer was still “Non”. Then 10 mins more wait. Finally I go into the restaurant to pay. It wasn’t as if they were busy, so waiting was frustrating. The street is boring, as it ain’t Les Deux Margots!

You’re not the only one who loves Angelina, SMG. It simply didn’t get as many votes among our contributing editors, who perhaps favor a texture that’s not as thick. But we’re happy to see you stick up for the sludge!

What were they thinking or drinking? The only one or two that even come close to Angelina, having trekked all over Paris to try them all, are Jacques Genin and, because a slightly less sweet variety, Patisserie Viennoise. SIP was fine but we wouldn’t even rate the other two on that list.

“Note to one commenter: I live in Montmartre and if I want to eat well, I never go up the hill.”
This was my belief as well until the Clocher de Montmartre opened: http://johntalbottsparis.typepad.com/john_talbotts_paris/2012/03/le-clocher-de-montmartre-some-serious-food-steps-from-sacre-coeur.html

Hi doubledown, “rejects” are places that received no positive votes when put before our contributing editors and instead received requests that they be removed from the list. So, yes, the negative connotation is intended. We don’t think it’s worth a trip.

Surely it wasn’t necessary to call Aux Lyonnais a reject….such a negative connotation.

As another Montmartre resident, I like all on the top list. I agree with Gail about great dinners at Chamarre – but I do hear a lot of reports of mediocre meals there so I do get hesitant to recommend it. I also like the Square de Marcadet for group dining – we’ve done a couple of 10+ people meals there and they are always really accommodating (especially nice in warm weather when you can get seating in the really sweet terrace)
