I’ve been soooo wishing someone would highlight restaurants, cafes, & bistros in Paris instead of just walking by. You guys are fitting the bill fabulously.
Colleen dancing with the frog is making my day! This restaurant is gorgeous.
Stop it already Antoine and Coleen!Now l am hungry.My favourite french delicacies are frog legs and snails and pâte en croûte!Nice elegant restaurant too.
L'Escargot Montorgueil is also one of our favorite restaurants in Les Halles, their Boeuf Rossini is amazing, very flavorful and tender. My wife loves the truffle escargot, while I preferred the traditional escargot. Don't pass up the Crème brûlée and the Café Gourmand here, I know they are everywhere, but L'Escargot does a better than normal take on them. This is a fun and wonderful experience and the service is friendly and good, highly recommended...
Rue Montorgueil is a great area to food shopping, fresh fish, meat and patisseries and good restaurants....C'est tres bon les cuisses de grenouilles.
Vous êtes désormais des vrais frenchies !
I love frog legs! Just like with escargot, I really love using the bread to eat the garlic butter! I’ve always wondered how do they use the rest of the frog? I so enjoy watching you all eating that amazing food. 2022 goals, find a French husband so I may move to France!!
The first time I heard of the "floating island" dessert was reading a Nancy Drew book 60 years ago. I finally made it last year. Yum! Anything in garlic sauce is delicious. Actually, leave the snails and frog's legs in the kitchen and just bring me a vat of garlic sauce and a baguette!
This is a really sweet channel - in more ways than one. 💖
We just had lunch here an hour ago - escargot, frog legs and steak tartare. It was wonderful.
@@LesFrenchiesTravel yeah - I really can't overstate how good the escargot was. I now need to figure out how to replicate that back home.
I am Indian and I am so glad to see that people are now appreciating to eat with their hands, like us!!!!
Just found your channel yesterday and am already caught up with all video except metro…that one I know about lol, but awesome guide to Paris! An idea since Emily In Paris season 2 just launched…maybe do a video visiting some of the sights from the series? You mentioned there is a map on the French Tourism Board? Could be a winner now that the show is hot! And of course fun to watch! Looking forward to your next videos.
OMG - that desert!
Frog legs are/were quite popular in Wisconsin Supper Clubs
More, more, more ! Once again, another winner video . Making a note of this Restaurant for sure ! My wife and I are loving these videos on Paris. Encore !
And happy holidays!
Update. After 5 months of planning etc etc ...bags packed , Mail stopped .. We cancelled everything the day before our flight was to leave . Completely vaccination , very safe always ....just didn't seem like a good choice. Given the dramatic world situation we all find ourselves . Lost zero money ...even our opera tickets were resold . Life goes on
Merry Christmas to you both.... love from Australia
Merry Christmas!!! 🎄
Had a wonderful meal at this restaurant tonight. All the food and wine you ordered was AMAZING. Servers were very friendly too! My first day visiting Paris and I appreciate your wonderful recommendation! I have enjoyed watching your videos leading up to my trip. Also, went to Maison Le Roux for some yummy fruit caramels and great quality chocolate this afternoon!
The music is 100% New Orleans Dixieland jazz. Another note. A broth made from frog legs (no seasoning is a fantastic cure for bronchial problems. This was discovered by the white men when they first met the indigenous tribes in the Brazilian jungles. Salut du Brésil. Greg
I grew up in the 60s in California. My mother made frog legs on a regular basis. The garlic butter she dipped them in flour salt pepper then sauté garlic butter till golden and we loved them! I made them for years, then lately the last decade or so, you can’t find them in the markets. I hope they come back in style. I personally love all the dishes you showed in the video.❤
It truly, literally does taste like chicken. My parents introduced us to varied foods as children. I first had them more than 50 years ago.
joyeux Noël les frenchies
Eating frog legs often when I was a child. Forget about it for about over 30 years, will try it next week when I visit Paris 😃 happy holidays!
My mom made frog legs when my siblings and I were young, tricking us into eating them by saying we were eating chicken. Looks like a wonderful restaurant! Joyeux Noël!! 🎄
My wife and I love your videos! We are currently in Paris and the plan today after The Catacombs includes having frogs legs, so I'm very appreciative of this video!
Merry 🎄 Christmas You Two!
Back in the 1970’s frog legs were very popular in the United States in High End Steak Houses. My mother loved them. I would close my eyes when she ate them. 🤣🤣🤣
I like the frog legs because not much fat than chicken 😂 in my country they make it with tamarind sauce. 🥰🥰😋
I am going to go to Paris next week, I want to try the frog leg.
@@LesFrenchiesTravel thank you so much! I love all your video, great job 👏
the frog dance makes my day :)
🙂🙂🙂
Regarding the escargot, when my son was very little, the parents of one of his friends invited him to join their family for dinner at a French restaurant. The family was quite well off. The next day my boy said, "Umm, dad, you know rich people?" "What about them?" I asked. He replied in a sincere, incredulous voice, "Well, did you know they eat snails? I mean, why be rich if you gotta' eat snails?"
Because they taste great.
i recommend you korean dish which is so various
Frog legs at 2:08. I have had them cooked a variety of ways. They do taste like chicken and are nothing to be afraid of. My favorite way to cook them is marinate first and then grill.
Escargot ms & Frog legs are delicacy in Vietnam. Last time I couldn’t find out so this time I will. Merci!
Kermit the frog ;
"NOOOOOOO" !
"That's my cousin" !!!!!
🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸🤣
There used to be a bar in a tiny town near where my Dad grew up in NW Iowa called The Frog Pond. They did, indeed, have a pond and did, indeed, have frogs. They served fried fogs legs. Very much like chicken wings. Not much flavor in and of themselves. I bet yours were better!
That is a priceless story.❤
Quel appétit ! Ca fait plaisir de voir manger des américains comme vous le faites. Et surtout, de vous voir boire du vin au lieu de cette daube de coca......... Vous mériteriez d'être français d'honneur !
What an appetite! It's nice to see Americans eating like you do. And above all, to see you drinking wine instead of this coke stew......... You deserve to be honorary French!
Frog legs - an under-appreciated food! Your videos are great - thank you!!
Quelle super vidéo, un peu de gastronomie, de culture, et maintenant je sais où j’irai lors de mon prochain weekend parisien 👍
Now I’m craving for escargots and frog legs 👌🏽❤️😭
Have tried escargot, oysters and mussels, but not frogs legs. All I tasted was garlic if Im honest, wasn't too bad.
Swamp chicken.....we had Grenouille a la Provençal for dinner last night, delicious. 👍👍👍
How much did you pay for frog legs? What was the whole bill in that restaurant? What was the name of the restaurant? Thank you for answering me, I am watching all your videos and loving them they are very helpful I am going to visit Paris July 2022 by myself and I am 73 years old American woman.
@@LesFrenchiesTravel thank you for letting me know where you ate frog legs I will go to that restaurant for sure.
You and your husband make me hungry 😅 God bless....thanks for sharing 😊
@@LesFrenchiesTravel Deuteronomy 28 verses 1 to 14
I had no idea there were bones! Frogs just look squishy, will definitely try!!
Sorry dear but the state that has the most REAL swamps both in number and size is my homeland LOUISIANA. Je suis un Cajun de Lafayette, Louisiane mais j’habite au Brésil. They call me the Cajun Carioca! The cariocas are the residents of Rio de Janeiro. Bon apetite!
Wonderful, I love the places you go. My husband and I we are foodies. Are you living in France now? Happy Holidays!!
Joyeux Noël. I have tried frog legs, can eat them but not my favorite. Love the escargots and l'île flottante though.
I think you made this video for me!! It's funny you were nervous about eating frog legs, but not snails!!!!
😂I agree…anything in garlic butter is great!! I had frogs legs and escargot in Paris but had mixed feelings about them…but one thing I discovered (in my opinion) frog legs are not good cold🤪
Hear me out: frog legs are French chicken wings! They may not be served breaded and covered in buffalo sauce, but it's such a similar experience. You have small bits of white meat with a bone in the middle, and you nibble around it. Tastes like chicken. I like them even better because they seem to have less fat and sinew.
Colleen is a great comedian playing the her food😂
😊😊😊
Ahhh…. Love “Escargot Monthruel” ❤️excellent frog legs! Great white Chateneuf du Pappe….
….snails were ok though….
Frog legs are similar to chicken but not quite… more tender….
The best frog legs I ate near Lyon…. But for Paris is the best place to have them…. Ahhh…. Cannot wait to have them again….
You made me so hungry. 😂😂😂😋😋
Wow I have to try this meal
I can find frog legs at my local Wal-Mart. They are very common in certain parts of the USA.
😊
I LOVE froglegs!! Have to try escargot one day.
Wonderful video. However, I'll pass on the Escargot and Frog Legs for now...😆
*When I was a child, I visited my grandparents in China. They made porridge with frog legs and I had it for the first and only time. I had no idea other cultures eat frog legs.*
What is to try in the Escargot Montorgueil is Le Ris de Veau Vol au vent
'ey up from across the pond, ya buncha froggies! 😁😉
@@LesFrenchiesTravel *"roast beef". Learn English already 😉
@@LesFrenchiesTravel lol, did you just try to Frogsplain English to a Brit? 😁😉
@@LesFrenchiesTravel You know, I've never actually had a fun racist argument with a Froggy before. Tell me you're a hot chick so we can kiss and make up now.
Tell me, do the French moan "ooh la laa" whenever in the throes of passion?
😉😅😘🐸
eating escargot a la bourguignon from ones i harvested myself and some ile de france camembert watching this , we also used to harvest both snails and frogs back home and my dad would make the most amazing garlic butter wine and herb frog legs, made a friend of mine in canada eat them thinking they were chicken wings after i told him what they were he flipped and got mad lol even though he enjoyed them he was upset at the thought and that i tricked him and would not have another bite
Because it’s amphibian it’s like 75% chickens 25% flounder flavor when I’ve had them at the casino.
I love l'Escargot Montorgueil...
If frog legs did not look like frog legs it would be easier...I would taste but I only want one, not a bunch. My brothers ate rattlesnakes. They are supposed to taste like chicken too.
I taught my students about frogs being an indicator species and that their absence let you know the environment was in trouble. I mentioned that people eat them and snails. Of course, they all went, "Ewwww!" My brother-in-law goes frogging and eats them.
Escargot, had some of the best I have ever eaten in Seattle. They were delicious.
Thank you so much for a delightful video...dancing frogs..
.😂😂! Did the owners of the restaurant think you were crazy Americans?🤔
Love you guys❤
I thought frog legs tasted like flounder when I had them.
I am going there next year, but I won't be doing the frogs legs and escargot. But everything else I will be trying.
1:16 I once ate 2 entire loaf of foie gras pate
❤can you guys recommend good restaurants around montparnasse that won't break the bank?Especially those ones with the 3 courses etc❤Also,what is the weather like mid March?Much appreciated. ❤❤
The fried frog legs looked great but I prefer theem sauteed in garlic butter
I love video, can you please give us break down how much guys paid?
What is going on with your weather?
We arrive in Paris April 26
I hope it stops raining
@@LesFrenchiesTravel we will bring the sunshine from Texas
@@warrenwolf4690 hahhahaa lol
Awesome review!
Is horse meat also served regularly at French restaurants?
@@LesFrenchiesTravel thank you so much for that info! Always enjoy your informative and practical tips.
Would you consider featuring what Parisians typically do during weekends, or holidays? What are your favorite spots right outside Paris? Bonne année to you both!! 🥂🎉⭐️
@@LesFrenchiesTravel Raw ground horse steak is delicious. Just add salt pepper and mustard and spread it on a fresh baguette, enjoy with French fries. (Real French fries of course not the sticks you find in a Mc Donald.) The chevaline butcher must ground it in front of you and you must eat it in the few hours after having bought it. I haven’t eat some for ages because Horse butchers or boucheries chevalines tend to be rare nowadays.
La viande de cheval est interdite dans les restaurants en France. Mais vous pouvez en acheter dans certaines boucheries ou supermarchés.
As Dennis The Menace said when he heard the French ate frogs; "But some of my best friends are frogs!"
@@LesFrenchiesTravel Actually I love frogs legs, especially sitting at a country fair in the rain eating copious amounts with beautiful bread and washing it down with fresh Gewurtztraminer wine, crisp and steely over a bed of rose petals. One of my beloved memories of back-packing.
Supermarket near my house sell live frogs
I hope these folks enjoyed their frog's legs. However the frogs didn't as they were alive when their legs were removed.
Wow!!! 😱😊😺💞👋😎
According to Google reviews... Many people were complaining about the staff being racist and they somehow insist on paying tips (I don't want to). These two reasons are making me reconsider to go or not, what do yall think?
I tried frog legs once, but never snails, not sure yet 😂😂
Of you want eat in US frogs legs go to visit Miami.
Love frog legs. Looks like tiny little human legs. Nom-nom-nom-nom-nom
Those frogs legs look a bit dry? Is it? The size reminds me of quail. Did you here that the frogs are dying out all over Europe? True. I just read a UK(?) ´report. Check it out.
the best in the " escargots" is the sauce, butter and garlic (because the poor tiny beats have NO taste on their own - LOL ! ...)
as for the frogs' legs it is like eating skinning tiny starving chicken's legs !
Did I miss the escargot review part?
Unlike the other videos going to various bistros/restos etc., there is no mention of price in this one....too scary??
What the French do to the rest of frog meat ?
I thought eating frog legs was common. Maybe it’s just a southern thing in America idk
So Vincent is Antoine's brother but Antoine has an American upbringing or not?
Frog legs I wouldn't do. The frogs their death is very cruel and not quick.
This is a tourist restaurant
I'll pass on the snails. Everything else looks good though!
Great video, saved it for my trip in a couple of months. I was wondering who ia doing all the tagging and why those stantions are in the courtyard of the Palais Royal. I have a feeling after spending 3 months in France less than a year ago that the answers to these questions are particularly important to female visitors, and shouldn't be ignored.
The very far left mayor has allowed rat infestations at the Eifel Tower and Sacre Cours reach intolerable levels, and Parc de Mars at ET just hosted a gang rape against an American visitor, by guess who perps. Why pretend none of this is happening?
I would try escargot but frog legs... I just hate frogs man
@@LesFrenchiesTravel bruh I just frogs
WEF: Eat ze bugs in ze 15 minute arrondissement.
Chinese Hot Sauce Bottle For Payment IE $1.
I don't like the disrespect to the food. The frogs died for our enjoyment, you don't have to play with it.
Try dog meat 😂
So cruel you two eat frog legs, disgusting
