Paris as Reccomended by MDD Followers!

I am heading to Paris next weekend and despite having visited probably 15 times....I have never managed to have a truly stand out meal. So....I put the shout out to you, glorious Maria Does Delicious followers and the response was incredible. I also have cross referenced these with the fabulous Paris By Mouth and David Leibowitz as well as my great fellow foodie writers the Minchilli (Elizabeth and her lovely daugher Sophie) and pulled together this list of reccomendations.

Its not pretty but its a great start and I will update with gems and jewels from the trip!
