父が急遽出張の予定変更でパリに来ることに。先日お目にかかった親戚のIさんも予定が合い、一緒にお食事することに。突然親族集合、しかもパリで（笑）。
今日は父が気に入ってたレストランの後に入った「Sonatines」(ソナチネ)に行きました。オーナーは再び日本人の方。苦手なもの、嫌いなものがなければお任せコースっぽかったです。メインはお魚か鴨を選びました。私はお魚。旦那さまは鴨。
父は前のレストランがとっても気に入ってました。特にお魚。でも今度のお店も全体的にとても美味しかったです☆

Restaurant: 「L'EPI MALIN」
似た名前を見たことが・・。そうです。以前紹介した「L'EPI DUPIN」の関連店。こちらは「L'EPI DUPIN」のお料理がテイクアウト出来る、新しく出来たお店です。中でも食べられます。「L'EPI DUPIN」の斜向い、ボンマルシェ寄りにあります。
カウンター席もあって、べべと一緒に行ってもちゃんとしたお料理をフットワークの軽い感じで食べられて良かったです。でも今日はべべ大人しくしてくれてました♪
I think people recall this restaurant name. Yes, it opened recently and related to 「L'EPI DUPIN」that I introduced before. You can do go away food at「L'EPI MALIN」.You can also eat inside. It's on the road across 「L'EPI DUPIN」.
There are also seats at the counter too and you feel quite relaxed to eat inside even with bebe. Although she was good girl today : )

食べ終わった後もまだまだ明るいパリ。旦那さまとべべとパリの町中や通りがかりの小さな公園をお散歩する金曜の夜、気持ちよかった☆
It's still bright after dinner. Walking through Paris and little parks with hubby and bebe on Friday night was really nice : )

ベベ連れ初レストラン/First Time to a Restaurant with Bebe
今日は近所の小さなレストラン「A Cote」へベベを連れて夕ご飯へ。ほんとに？？と周りの方に迷惑ではないのかと不安になる私。大丈夫だよ〜、と旦那さま。
周りに人がいるといつもは結構大人しくしてくれるベベですが、今日は隙あらば「うぇーん・・」と静かに泣き出し、その度に旦那さまが立ってあやす、泣き止む、を繰り返す、ちょっとソワソワしながらのディナー。
隣りにご年配の6人組のお客様がいらっしゃったのですが、すごい寛大で感動。帰り際に少し話したら、「いくつなの〜？」「あと数ヶ月したらもっと出かけるの大変になるだろうから、レストランも今のうちよ。今出来ることは今のうちにね〜。」などと話してくれました。皆が皆こうではないだろうけど、寛大な皆さまのおかげでべべと一緒に外でお食事楽しめました。ありがとうございます☆
We went to 'A Cote', a small restaurant near our house for dinner. I was bit nervous to go with bebe but hubby seemed pretty relaxed.
Bebe is usually quite quiet when people are around but today, she looked like she was looking for time to cry.. She would start crying quietly then hubby will stand up to shake her. Then she will stop crying. He did this several times during dinner and was not exactly a calm dinner. Though the elderly group of people next to us kindly talked to us. 'How old is she?' 'Once she's few more months older, it would be more difficult to take her to restaurants so enjoy your time now!'. How generous can they be! I don't think everybody is like this but it sure was a great help for us today ; )

妊婦時代には食べられなかったフォアグラ堪能☆
あまり甘くないジンジャーブレッドとよく合う♪
I took foie gras plate which I couldn't eat while I was pregnant!
It matched very well with ginger bread that didn't have too much flavor : D
旦那さまの生ハムたっぷりのプレートも妊婦時代には食べられなかった（＞＜）
なので生ハムいっぱいもらっちゃいました（笑）
Hubby's plate was with prosciutto which I also couldn't eat during pregnancy!
So I took a lot from his plate =D

2日連続夜更かし・・/2days in a Row of Late Night..
今日は旦那さまのお友達のお誕生日パーティー＋お友達のお姉さんの40歳パーティー＋お友達のご両親の結婚40周年パーティー！行くまではもっと気楽なものかと思ってたけど、着席型のちゃんとしたパーティーでした。ジーンズで行かなくて良かった（＞＜）
これまた大人達が楽しめるように、当日はシッターさんがアレンジされていて、テーブルは子供用テーブルがきちんと用意されてました。シッターさんが子供用テーブルで面倒を見ながら、何かあれば親を呼びに行く、という形。2日連続、フランス人らしい形態を見た気がします（笑）。
我々のベベはテーブルに着くには小さすぎるので我々の横で☆何だかちょっとした結婚披露宴みたいでした。円形テーブルに席の決まった着席型、ゲームがあったり、ダンスタイムがあったり。この日も真夜中近くまで。ダンスの音楽がちょっと大き過ぎるかなと思ったので、お先に失礼させて頂きました。でもベベがいてもこういうパーティーに出られるのはありがたいな〜（*^^*）
Today was hubby's friend's birthday party + friend's sister's 40 years old celebration + their parent's 40years anniversary party! I thought it's more casual but was a proper one! glad I didn't go with jeans!
Again, things were arranged so that adults can enjoy too. Baby sitter was arranged and the table for kids were separate. Baby sitter is looking after the kids table and if there is any problem, she goes get the parent. I though it's very French way of doing : )
Our bebe was too little to be on the table so was next to us = ) It was like a wedding party. We were seated with names on the table, did games and dance time. We were there till close to midnight. We thought the music might be too loud for our bebe so left early. Though I think it's nice that we can enjoy this kind of party even we have bebe together : )

お城風レストランが会場☆
ゲームは真剣に楽しむ（笑）！
Enjoying the game seriously!
踊る！
Dance!
デザート出て来るの遅くて食べられなかった（涙）
Couldn't reach the dessert since we left early ; 0
ベベは大人しくしてました！良い子だ（＾＾）
Bebe was pretty quiet. Good girl!

ベベ夜更かし！？/Late Hours for Bebe
今日は旦那さまのお友達のお家に皆子供を連れてカップルが３組集まりました。子供がいても親も普通に楽しむ時間を持つ意識がフランスではかなり普通な気がします。子供がいる状況に対応して普通に過ごす、みたいな感じかなあ。もちろんシッターさんが手配出来ない時があったりと同じではないのですが。
今日は3歳、1歳半、1ヶ月の我が子が一緒でしたが、途中まで3歳と1歳半の男の子はおもちゃで遊び、わーい！！と走り回り、その周りを大人達がシャンパン飲みながら話したり子供の行動に笑ったり。
こちらは元々夜ご飯の時間が遅いので（普通に９時とか）、ある程度の時間になったら3歳と1歳半を上で寝かしつけ、それから大人達はご飯を食べ始め、1ヶ月の我が子は一緒の部屋で寝たり起きたり授乳したり。色んな話をしている内にあっという間に日付が変わってました（＾＾；）。興奮して起きてる時間が長かったべべより、旦那さまの方が眠そうでした（笑）。
さて、べべがいてもどこまで出来るか、これから一つ一つが手探りです。
We went to our friend's house today. There were 3 couples and all of them brought kids. I think the mind of enjoying life even though you have kids, is stronger among French people. They correspond to the situation that they have kids. Of course sometimes they can't arrange baby sitter and situation is not completely the same.
We had 3 years old, 1.5years old and our 1month bebe. 3 and 1.5 years old were running around playing with toys and adults were enjoying champagne watching and laughing over them : )
Dinner time is originally quite late in France (like 9pm is not unusual) so parents will let kids go to sleep at a certain time then adults enjoy dinner time. Our 1month bebe was in the same room sleeping, waking up, eating. After a lot of fun talks, it was around midnight! Bebe was excited she didn't sleep much but rather my hubby looked more sleepy ; )
I wonder how much our life is going to be the same and different even with the bebe!

Bebe looked happy with everybody : )

再び「L'EPI DUPIN」へ！/「L'EPI DUPIN」 Again！
義理の両親が出産前にもう一度ご飯行きましょう〜と誘ってくれて、我々お気に入りの「L'EPI DUPIN」へ再び♪今日もメニューは日本語で説明してもらいました（＾＾）。
I took mackerel and vegetable dish. I order meat most of the time but since for pregnant women, it has to be well done, the dish I took today was good choice! Vegetables were sweet and good : D
しかも今日は前菜一品サービスしてもらった模様☆ラッキー！ミニスープで始まり、お野菜メインの前菜を頂き、豚の血に火を通したもの（ブダンと言うらしい）をラビオリに包んだ前菜を頂きました。ソースも美味☆
We went for dinner with my parents in law today before our bebe comes out : ) We went to 「L'EPI DUPIN」, one of our favorite! They explained the menu in Japanese for me today too = )
I think we had one additional appetizer as a service. Lucky us! Started with mini soup as usual and appetizer with vegetable. I ordered ravioli with boudin (blood sausage) inside. Sauce was good too : )
私はメインは鯖とお野菜のお皿。肉食な私はお肉を頼むことが多いけど、妊婦さんはウェルダンになるので今日のお魚は正解！お野菜も甘くてとても美味しかった（*^^*）
デザートは一つに絞りきれずに旦那さまと半分こ。マンゴーとバナナとメレンゲのものと、梨の甘草ソース漬け？とアイスクリーム。これは美味しい♡特に梨のデザート、誤って全部食べそうになりました（笑）。
お母さんのお腹の中にいた方が美味しいものを食べられるからまだ出て来ないのかも〜、と言われる理由がよく分かる！？今日も美味しいご飯、ごちそうさまでした☆
I couldn't decide the dessert to one, so decided to share 2 desserts fifty-fifty with my hubby. One was mango and banana with meringue and the other was pear dipped in licorice sauce with vanilla ice cream. Both were really good! Especially the pear one, I almost finished it myself!
I was told that the baby is still in the tummy cause the baby knows I keep eating good food and she enjoys it too ; D I had a great dinner today too. gochisou-sama!
最後にカモミールハーブティーを頂きました♪砂時計がかわいかった☆
Took herb tea at the end. Sandglass was cute : )

Restaurant: 「国虎屋 Villedo」 」/Kunitoraya Villedo
ベベちゃん誕生前にちょくちょく出かけておかねば！？と言いながら今日はまた日本人のお友達2人と旦那さまと友達お勧めの日本食屋さん「Kunitoraya Villedo」へ。お友達は和食とフレンチのフュージョンのような、と言ってましたが、フランス人の旦那さまからするとかなり和食テイストだったみたいです。欧米人に受け入れられやすいお皿と受け入れにくいお皿がはっきりしてるかもと言ってました。
親子煮トリュフ入りなんかは受け入れやすいお皿の模様。とても美味しいと言っておりました。全体的に日本人としてはありがたい味が多かったです。また来よう〜っと。
'Oyako-ni Truffle' (Chicken, egg and truffle) seems like it will be very well accepted. My hubby liked it a lot. Overall, I felt that there were many dishes that Japanese people will appreciate. I want to come again : )
Good to go out before the baby comes out!? is a good reason to go out I guess ; ) We went to 「Kunitoraya Villedo」 with my Japanese friends. My friend said it's like combination of Japanese and French but according to my French hubby, it was Japanese. He said each dishes might be pretty clear if western people like it or not.
ちなみに受け入れられにくいと思うと言っていたカラスミ大根、隣りの外国人テーブルはカラスミだけ沢山残ってました。代わりに食べてあげたい！そして日本酒と一緒に食べられたら最高〜（笑）。もうちょっと？の我慢、我慢！（カラスミ、食べ始める前に写真撮り忘れ・・。）
One that he said might be difficult for western people was 'karasumi daikon' (botargo & radish). The table next to us with 4 western people had many botargo left. I wanted to eat for them! If I could eat it with Japanese sake, it would be great ; D Though I have to wait little bit for that.. (Forgot to take photo before starting to eat karasumi..)

ちなみに元々おうどんのお店なので最後はおうどんで締め！
締め、というのもまた日本食らしくて良かったです☆
BTW, it's originally a udon place so we had udon to finish up.
Having a dish with rice or noodles is also very Japanese and I liked it = )

クレープ通り/Crepe Street
自宅から比較的近いモンパルナスにはクレープ通りがあります。そのままですが、クレープ屋さんが軒を連ねます。一番人気の場所は映画の後の22時半頃でも並んでいたので、今日は旦那さまがよく行く他のお勧めクレープ屋さん「La Crêperie Bretonne」へ。小さめのお店だけど22時半とかでもほぼ満席〜。遅めなので具が3種類くらいのものにしておきました。また他の豪勢なのを今度は食べてみたい〜（＾＾）
There is a crepe street at Montparnasse. Many crepe restaurants are on the street. The most famous place still had line even it was like 22:30pm so we went to a place my hubby goes often. 「La Crêperie Bretonne」. This place was almost full too even it was quite late. I went with the light one today but hope to try more gorgeous one next time!

Restaurant: 「串かつ 凡」/Kushikatsu Bon
今日はグルメなお友達3人が行きたい〜と話していた「串かつ 凡」へ。旦那さまも一緒♪こちらは大阪の北新地にお店があり、そちらは何とミシュラン一つ星を獲得しているらしい☆オーナーの方はパリでもミシュランの星を取るのが目標のよう。お店の雰囲気素敵〜♪
以前旦那さまと別の串かつのお店に行ったことがあって、そこもまあ美味しかったのですが、やはり手に入る野菜などが違うのを実感。日本と全く同じようにというのは難しいかもだけど、こちらのオーナーさんはとてもやる気のある方ようなのでがんばって欲しいなあ。
前菜の生野菜とかも努力と工夫が感じられました。しかし、、日本の野菜ってほんと瑞々しくて美味しいんだな〜と最近もらった日本のキュウリを思い出しながらポリポリ。
I went to a different kushikatsu place in Paris with my hubby before. That place was not bad either but at that time, I realized the difference of vegetable between France and Japan. It might be difficult to do the same but seems that the owner here is really trying hard so hope I feel closer and closer!
I felt a lot of effort from the fresh vegetable served as a starter. At the same time, I was remembering the cucumber that I got from Japan recently and was realizing how Japan vegetables are really juicy : D
旦那さまは前の串かつ屋さんよりこちらの方が全部美味しかったと言っておりました。私もそちらに一票。でも串かつってやっぱり基本パン粉つけないといけないのかな。個人的にはなくてもいいかなあって素材もいくつか。でも美味しかったです〜♪
15本コース＋デザート串2本というコースのみ。最後に1本追加も出来ますが、今日の1本、みたいな感じです。この日は子持ち昆布でした。日本からの素材らしい。
パリで日本食をやるにあたって、パリだからこその日本食か、日本と同じ食を提供するか。。どうしても手に入るものが違う、お金を出さなければ。飲食店を経営する人は色々大変だなあ。
Hubby said he likes this place better than the one we went before. I felt the same too. I wonder if you have to put bread crumbs for kushikatsu or not. I thought some might taste better without. Though overall, it was very good : )
Course is only 15 sticks + 2 dessert sticks. You can add one special stick for the day. Today was seed seaweed brought from Japan.
Opening a Japanese restaurant in Paris is I guess either Japanese in Paris or do the same as Japan (at least try). Unless you pay a lot, there will be an obvious difference on what you can get. I'm sure many restaurant owners are struggling..
Today, we went to 「Kushikatsu Bon」 with my three friends who knows about restaurants a lot! This restaurant is originally from Osaka and that one received one star from Michelin. Seems like the owner is targeting to get a star in Paris too. I liked the atmosphere of interior : )
