I was puzzled by the actual location of the Rue de la Loi and was unaware of the Revolution period change. You have clarified that one for me, so I have corrected my text accordingly. As you point out, the origin of the name restaurant is a complex and puzzling phenomenon. I merely wanted to point out to our guests the strong link with the quasi-medicinal broth of the same name and give them the experience of tasting it prepared from an original recipe.Ivan Dayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03500437663759868535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8745493398948198755.post-68453305848106720872015-12-20T10:52:30.803-08:002015-12-20T10:52:30.803-08:00Please share the post Donna.

I'm not sure however that the first establishments under that name limited themselves to serving these. Boulanger's establishment on the rue des Poulies (probably the first) seems to have served things like chicken right from the start. One explanation for the name is quite simply that traiteurs then had a monopoly on serving meals in their establishments and the legal fiction of serving "restorants" allowed him to circumvent their privilege. <br /><br />Diderot left one of the earliest accounts of that establishment, but he seemed more interested in the server than the food:<br /><br />"Je sortis de là pour aller dîner au restaurateur de la rue des Poulies; on y est bien, mais chèrement traité. L'hôtesse est vraiment une très belle créature. Beau visage, plutôt grec que romain ; beaux yeux, belle bouche, ni trop, ni trop peu d'embonpoint, grande et belle taille, démarche élégante et légère; mais vilains bras et vilaines mains."<br /><br />(Given that he was writing here to his mistress, one might gently qualify this as "tactless".)<br /><br />Restif de la Bretonne later remarked archly that he saw "nothing more restoring than elsewhere" in a rice soup, eggs, a chicken wing or roast veal."<br /><br />"J'entrai sur ses pas, et je demandai à me restaurer. On me proposa un potage au riz, des œufs frais, un morceau de volaille, ou du rôti de veau. Je ne vis rien là de plus restaurant qu'ailleurs. "<br /><br />"After the Revolution, he moved to the Rue de Richilieu and named his new establishment La Grande Taverne de Londres in honour of the celebrated London Tavern in Bishopsgate. He later moved to Rue de la Loi". <br />Same street. The Revolutionaries renamed the rue de Richelieu "the street of the Law". Like many of their erasings of the Old Regime, this one ultimately didn't take.chezjimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13552197985756973087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8745493398948198755.post-30403754386430183482015-12-19T06:32:47.918-08:002015-12-19T06:32:47.918-08:00I woke to a sweet sunshiny Saturday morn and what ...I woke to a sweet sunshiny Saturday morn and what did I find but yet another perfect posting from you. Food from the Grand Tour; I think the travelers must have been stunned. I just relish all the information you share and would like to share one of these pics with my blog readers and of course link back to your site. Would that be possible? I can't think of any chef that impresses me more than you do. Thank you so and Merry Christmas.donna bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13507579686738843451noreply@blogger.com
