Saturday
Dear Elsie
Today was a windy, rainy, stormy day. I did get quite a lot done. I walked, I shopped, I cleaned, I did most of my taxes and I spoke to you. So, despite the weather it was a very productive day. I have downloaded the photos from last night and here’s where we went and what it was like. We went to Pigalle. This place has been around a long time, but I only heard about it a couple of weeks ago and decided to try it out. Parking is in Somerset Square which is right by the entrance – I mean meters away. If it had been pouring with rain, it would have been no problem.
The entrance is very pretty. Met by a very friendly hostess…
Who was very happy to take photos of patrons.
We were then taken by an usher to our section, where a waiter seated us. The size of the restaurant makes me think of the ship main restaurant. Very big with waiters running hither and thither! It’s very red! I wasn’t expecting the redness. We were seated behind a sound barrier (it gets very loud as it fills up). Someone had told us to ask for a seat away from the band as it’s loud. This it the view from our table. The Perspex barrier is red.
Other photos of the interior… this is the space to the right of our table before the other guests arrived. Through the door is a private room with a large table for a group. There were lots of groups.
This is the main section. Most of these tables filled up within an hour.
This is another side section…
I read online it seats about 270 and last night was, as far as I could see, full.
It’s expensive compared to what we are used to, so the best value is one of their set menus. We chose this one…I had the seafood cocktail. Mike had the beef for a starter (which was really good). We both had the salmon and the crème brulee. I forgot to take a photo of the dessert.
My starter….it was delish.
The Norwegian salmon main…
It was all very delicious and an evening worthy of our 38th wedding anniversary. A good memory.
This evening David and Anna are coming for dinner. I need to get ready for that.

You are not your own; you were bought at a price.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
