Actually, here in America, we mix the mayo and ketchup together nowadays

[@richardfitoussi767]

As a retired restaurateur of French extraction, i have to say: THOSE TWO ARE MY FAVOURITE TYPES OF AMERICANs! It is a pleasure to watch them enjoying such simple authentic French food. Bravo

[@tawnykeith1684]

Such a fun video! Watching you two lightly sparring over a great dish not only tells us how great the food is, but gives us a fun peek into your sweet relationship. Loved this video!

[@deborahpondermance2795]

Oh my goodness! I feel like I gained 5 pounds just watching you eat all that fabulous food! Great video 👍

[@krispykruzer]

Me too

[@debjh8983]

Yes the food looks wonderful but it is full of calories. Doesn’t seem to be healthy in the long run.

[@monichat]

Have travelled many times to France - the food is out of this world - You have to wonder how come the French are not obese - Well, they walk more than we do in North America, we drive mostly. @@debjh8983

Back in December for the third visit this year. Paris is the greatest city.

My wife and I love La Fontaine De Mars, we stay in that neighborhood every time we go to Paris. Never had a bad meal there. ❤

[@jillengel4124]

I’m a fan of beef burgundy. The dish you ordered looked fabulous. And dipping the baguette in the sauce is heaven!

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

It was!

We are in Paris right now! My wife and I cannot thank you enough for the Paris travel advice. We have used your thatch listings often and just ordered crepes at one of your fave places.

Absolutely adore La Fontaine de Mars after stumbling on it on a cold and rainy afternoon in February of 2000. Had such a wonderful meal and always made sure we dined there at least once on every trip to Paris! Thanks for another terrific video!!

[@tessb960]

I fell in love with you guys. Just brushing up on quick lessons as we will be traveling with family who are first-timers in Paris. I wish I can meet you guys in person. 😊 We will be in Paris this Feb. I love your zest for life and you guys are amazing vloggers. Thanks for keeping it real.

I just enjoy watching you enjoy france

[@garyblinston193]

You are both very engaging and entertaining. You clearly very much love your food and each other.

[@DarkoBegonia]

We visited Paris in the summer of ‘22 and our dinner at the then recently opened Brasserie Belanger was one of the highlights of our trip. We were initially hoping to score a reservation at Brasserie Dubillot on Rue Saint-Deniz. But after several unsuccessful tries with their online rez system we opted to take their advice and try their “new place” Brasserie Bellanger. We were not disappointed and glad to see, neither were you!

[@LesFrenchiesTravel]

Both spots are amazing!

[@NeufeldsCanada]

Thanks for the tip on Brasserie Bellanger! We stopped in for lunch after visiting Sacre Coeur. What a treat! The waiter’s recommendation for a bottle of wine was excellent and the food was fabulous!

[@maobfh]

How long have I been following (and watching) your channel? A couple of years, I think? (Is that even possible?) Not long enough to remember to eat before I watch it!!! I see you have uploaded and immediately I hop over and watch. The thought of my stomach never enters my mind. Who knows how many unhealthy choices I have made because I watched your video on an empty stomach. I never understood tomatoes, living in the high Rocky Mountain desert of New Mexico. Tomatoes cut and tasted like cardboard. No thank you. Then I married my late husband and he would talk about how much he loved tomatoes. His grandmother grew orange striped tomatoes and they are so good. So I see them in the market and grab several. We are on the East Coast by now and I am about to taste a real tomato? No. Not quite cardboard but I am underwhelmed. Then, in Tennessee, a kid who works with us find tomatoes growing in a corner of his backyard. And he tries them. I don’t believe it. It gets to 20 below and I have NEVER heard of wild tomatoes. He insists I try a slice and none of my ‘no thank you’s’ sway him. Rude kid. So I take the slice and he supplanted my husband as my new best friend. Whoa! THAT is what a tomato tastes like!!! It only took 38 years but I got it. They were heirlooms behaving like a normal plant should behave. Did I save any seeds? Yes. Correctly? No. I learned a very important lesson. If you cannot smell the tomato, you won’t taste it, either. I also learned that a good tomato is a good tomato, they don’t typically taste like cardboard and I also learned (too late) how to save seeds correctly. Before I fractured my spine, I was a good cook. I made an excellent Onion soup and my daughter who traveled the world in 5 star hotels 🙄 tells me I made the best chocolate mouse she has ever tasted. Now I want to go back to the kitchen. First, though, I need a kitchen. France? Italy? Can no longer afford the US. Great video!!! I need to rewatch it after I eat to get the names of these places. The first view was all about the food, the competition for who gets the last part of the dessert and the less than stealthy wine abductions.

[@didisinclair3605]

Oh you two always look like you're having so much fun!!! Coming to Paris in June 2024. Looking forward to a tour with your brother!!!

I'm so glad I found your channel. I watched a lot of your videos and found them so helpful after the week we just spent in Paris. Thank you two!

[@urbanjungle9600]

I had lunch at La Fontaine de Mars when I visited Paris in May and can confirm it was absolutely fantastic. Also surprisingly good value given how close it is to the Eiffel Tower and Les Invalides. I will certainly check out your other 2 recommendations when I next visit.

When I first arrived in France, fries were always served with mustard; it's only in the past 20 years that mayonnaise was an option. Another great video!

[@Uryendel]

Never seen anyone eating fries with mustard, you sure it wasn't for the meat instead? But that's true mayonnaise with fries is kinda recent

[@marjorieorveau6707]

@@Uryendel No, definitely with the fries. Could be a Western France thing...

Cette vidéo est très charmante comme Les Frenchies ! Merci ❤

[@gail4101]

OMG!!! It’s only seven am here in Southern California and I’m so ready to steal from yours plates for my own bite!!! Actually I would order my own and not even share…You just covered my favorite dishes in Paris! Each time I’ve gone, my favorite is always Salade frisee aux lardons…I’ve gotten it at every restaurant (if it was on the menu)…I’ve tried making it here and though successful it’s just not the same without French conversations going on about me! And a Creme brûlée to end the meal!!! With entrecote as thee main dish, what could be better!!!🥰

[@gail4101]

If I may add, Colleen…I always have my frites with mayo now even though when I ask for some, they look at me like I’m nuts…”what no catsup?”

[@kittieswinemovies]

Colleen and Antoine, I absolutely adore your channel - especially when you get (ahem) a little tipsy! (Vincent, I see you!) :) Shows me what a great time you are all having. Thank you for being so thorough and honest. Btw, for Christmas gifts, I ordered a bunch of macarons and chocolates from your collaboration with Richart and everyone loved them. Amazing!

[@natsousa]

I'm planning my next trip to Paris this year, and i'm very glad that I found your channel. I'm taking notes of the recommendations :)

[@bj38000]

Thank you for this delicious video. To my opinion, La fontaine de Mars is definitely a VERY VERY touristic Brasserie, especially for Americans since President Obama came there for a dinner a few years ago. Considering the type of restaurants you seem to like, with yummy and traditional french dishes, i recommend you the 2 following ones : "Au petit riche" (9th arrondissement) : a well established Brasserie since 1854 with a very Parisian style "Le 14 juillet" (14th arrondissement) : a more rustic style bistro with crazy desserts (giant profiterole, tiramisu "all-you-can-eat") for which you should keep some space.

[@iAPX432]

Thanks Les Frenchies! Ça me fait redécouvrir Paris, while living in North America.

[@MickDupont]

I love Brasserie Bellanger!! Such a great spot

[@carolinedrolet25]

Fun video...What a lovely couple you are!!! And tanks to you here is the last meal I want to have: onion soup, boeuf bourguignon and profiteroles!Ouiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[@panuntukan]

The "welsh" is a popular plate on the northern shore (Picardie and Pas-de-Calais) facing Great Britain. It can be considered a french tribute to English taste (cheddar, ham, egg).It recently took place into the Parisian brasseries, it is not very common yet. In the rest of France it is completely unknown. Maybe it would be a great idea to introduce it in mountain regions, ski stations, or in Québec.

[@vole12]

It's Welsh Rarebit .

[@panuntukan]

@@vole12 The french version wants the bread to be completely sunk into the melted cheddar, almost invisible. The Wales' one seems to be melted cheddar spread on a piece of bread like Nutella.

[@rickweaver9835]

Bonjour!!!! That was wonderful! I wanted to hop on a plane and head to Paris to try out each one of those places!!! Ya’ll are so cute!!! Miss ya’ll!!!! Merci!!!!

Breakfast next at Bellanger Brasserie for all things cheese...I mean...I live in Wisconsin, the Dairy State! However...we don't do delicate; we do lumberjack size for breakfast. Dainty might work for dinner..with wine. Gotta give fancy to France! Continue to enjoy..and we appreciate you sharing it with us! 😊
