The first time we went to Paris, many pre smart phone years ago, we arrived on a late afternoon Saturday. After getting unpacked in our apartment we decided to take a walk. We walked down to the Seine and watched the sunset and the Eiffel Tower sparkle. On our walk to the river we had passed a number of Cafes on Rue Montorgueil and figured we’d get a bite on our way back to the apartment. In our jet lagged, sleep deprived state we could not find Rue Montorgueil! We passed Joe Allens Café American and joked about eating there. As we passed it a second time, I declared that my first meal in Paris would NOT be at an American Restaurant! On our third trip by Joes we were starved and still lost. Our first meal in Paris was at Joe Allens. They fed us and gave us directions home. Whenever we are in Paris we make a pilgrimage to Joe Allens.
