I hope you get a chance to visit the north shore, Paia and Haiku next time. There’s plenty of good restaurants on that side too. Let me know if you’d like some recommendations.

Thanks Konstantin,
The inside of the egg is a soft scrambled egg with whip cream. It was almost like a creamy mouse. It was really amazing!

Hi Anna,

Great pics! I was just curious about the the Egg Caviar dish. Was that a hard boiled egg? Is that supposed to be eaten as part of the dish?

Comment on La Tour D’Argent by davequ

Anna:

It is about time someone wrote something (and foto’d) a detailed dinner experience for Tour d’Argent that:
a) actually ATE there;
b) appears to have good taste.

I am glad you had such a great dinner. I am a huge Tour d’Argent fan ( I have eaten there twice: once in 2001, once in 2003 ). Anytime I’m in Paris and can afford to splurge, that is almost always where I go.

There are some snobby reviews out there (many I suspect written by people who never even had dinner @ Tour d’Argent, only wrote based on rumor, innuendo, or a hissy-fit of jealousy).

Yours is accurate and mirror both my dejeuner and dinner experiences. Hats off for having the huevos to actually take pics of all the dishes ( I always chickened out when tempted to pull out the digital camera in the main salon ) so thanks much for that.

Did you get a chance to meet Andre Terrail? I have never seen Andre, but in 2003 his late father Claude came over to my table, introduced himself, and spent some time with me, answering my questions and asking if there was anything he could do to make me more comfortable. I was honored to meet him and was saddened by his passing. He was unique: imo the personification of grace and class.

Thanks again for taking the time to share this, as I get bored reading poor comments on the ‘net concerning loss of Michellin stars, “overpriced,” etc.
when you, Tom and I along with others who have actually had the pleasure know how great it truly can be, and that it is not only about the wonderful food, but the whole Tour d’Argent experience.

If you like or get time, here is a link to my little homage to Tour d’Argent. I don’t have the great candid photos or comments like you share here, but I do have a shot I took of the building from Pont Tournelle, a scan of my menu, and a main salon shot.

Now I get to go through your other restaurant pages.
Much thanks for sharing and best regards,

Hey Annie-
Even though I just had a tremendously filling meal of tuna sandwhch on somewhat dry, barely wheat bread, thin crust, frozen, very cheap pizza, and two bites of Kraft M&C- I still found myself salivating from your blog. Question- doesn’t anyplace you dine at serve beef commercials? Do you think David would enjoy V&A’s in Orlando? We’re not the jet set…

I’m not a fan of pictures without people in them, so if you or Tom could stick your head down by the food when you take pictures, that would be great! Thanks.
