| La Chambre aux Oiseaux |
On Saturday afternoon we went to the Canal St. Martin area and checked out the café that someone had recommended for the first Meetup. It turned out to be miniscule and full of students and not the sort of place where 8 people who don't know each other could relax and chat. So we went further on and found another café, La Chambre aux Oiseaux, much for suitable for the occasion and enjoyed a hot drink outside. It's still warm enough to be eating on the pavement.

| Girolles and cauliflower quenelles |
In the evening we continued our painstaking research of restaurants, this time pushing the boat out further as it's Peter's birthday on Monday. We went to
Les Fils de La Ferme where the restaurant decor was not exceptional but the service was excellent, the wine good too and the food delicious. I had girolles and cauliflower quenelles to start and Peter also had a mushroom dish of ceps. Then I had veal and Peter had beef. We both had dessert, a fig puree tart with red currants which we dug into so fast I didn't have time for a photo! I think I must explore my phone in case there's a 'food photography' setting that would produce better pictures.
