Eiffel. Louie Vuitton. Patisserie. Croissant. Romantic.
Those are words that come out from my mind when i hear Paris. Perhaps there are many other words that come out from yours. That's because Paris is so famous and such an iconic city. Many people wish to be able to go there. Includes me. But, since I haven't had a chance yet, it's nice to visit a little Paris, to experience the ambiance. That's what I thought when I decided to enter Paris Villages, a french restaurant in Bandung. It's located in Setrasari Mall, precisely across the street from Griya Supermarket.
That night was anniversary night for me and my boyfriend. It was raining very hard. At first I had made up my mind to go to other restaurant, but since it's raining, we had to go to other restaurant that much closer. Paris Villages was the chosen one. We can reach it by foot. I was so insisted to go out that night, and didn't want to postpone the dinner. Which now I regret. Sigh.
Anyway the restaurant is located in its own building. The building is narrow and consisted of three stories. The second story is the kitchen, so dining area available at first and third. I wanted to sit at third story because it's look cozier from outside, and more private without people walking through. But we wasn't allowed due to a problem. So we sat near entrance, on red sofa. There wasn't anyone else who eat there, and remain that way until we left. It was Wednesday night, so maybe there were no many people want to go out.

| Food menu board |
After we sat there were no menu book given to us. Instead there were blackboard about A2 paper size, sat on a chair, with all food menu written on it. We had to read it hardly since it's quite far, and all in french without English explanation. So, the waiter explain every single menu written on it. It's felt like he's the teacher and we are a couple of students. Hihi. Actually the waiter was nice, he also explained the favorite menu there, and from his explanation I quite understood that the restaurant target market seems to be expatriate. Thankfully the menu are only several, so we don't spend much time being lectured, because the longer the time, the more awkward I felt.
