Reviews"For two recent glorious weeks ('I just got back from Paris and boy is my stomach tired!') I ate Paris well thanks to Pudlo. Pudlo is short for Gilles Pudlowski, a restaurant critic whose Pudlo Paris has long been a French treasure. The 2007-08 edition is the first to be translated into English, providing me with a handy guide to almost 1,000 restaurants." --Santa Barbara Independent "If you are planning a trip to Paris, I would highly recommendPudlo Paris,written by Frenchman Gilles Pudlowski. For the first time in its 17 year history it has been translated into English, which is a blessing for all of you who otherwise wouldn't be able to partake in his wisdom. He offers reviews on restaurants, cafÃ©s and bars, covering the entire city and in addition, offers information on over 300 specialty gourmet shops... an indispensible reference for any foodie going on a personal Parisian food fest." The Paris Traveler "Noted food writer and critic Giles Pudlowski is out with the first English edition ofPudlo Paris, an exhaustive guide to dining in the city." Frank Wagner, Copley News Service "Created by historian and food critic Pudlowski, this guidebook has been the Parisian's restaurant bible since 1990, but this 17th edition is the first to be translated into English. It is exhaustive, with almost 1000 restaurant reviews, plus coverage of wine bars, pubs, cafes, and gourmet shops. Pudlowski himself, with the help of a very small staff, updates each review annually. Changes in ratings from the previous year are noted, as are eating places that are new to this edition. What setsPudloapart is its unique rating system. Rather than stars,Pudloassigns "plates" based on how well an eatery executes its meÎ� establishments are labeled Simple, Comfortable, Very Comfortable, Luxurious, and Very Luxurious. Therefore, a modest neighborhood bistro (labeled "Simple") that Pudlowski deems estimable may get the same plate rating as an expensive white-linen ("Luxurious") establishment. Restaurants that Pudlowski feels are overrated, tourist traps, or offensive in other ways receive a special "broken plate" rating. Each chapter of the guide covers an arrondissement and begins with listings of eateries by rating, price (or value), and type of cuisiâ‰ the restaurants with their reviews follow in alphabetical order. Foodies and budget-minded travelers will love this guide. Highly recommended for public libraries where books like Patricia Wells'sFood Lovers' Guide to Parisare popular." --Library Journal "Now available for the first time in English,Pudlo Parisis the highly respected guide to Parisian restaurants, gourmet shops, cafes and bars...The sophisticated guide consists of detailed profiles of each establishment that list specific menu items, descriptions of signature dishes, the chef's background as well as the ambience, decor, typical clientele and history of the venue. In other words, everything you wanted to know--and more--about your favorite Parisian dining venue." --Chicago Tribune "Locals have keptPudlo Paris--food critic Gilles Pudlowski's guide to over 1,500 restaurants, bars, cafes, and gourmet shops around the city--to themselves; now the paperback tome is available in English." --Travel+Leisure "Michelin has seen competitors come and go, but none have built the reputation of Gilles Pudlowski, whosePudlo Parisguide has been published by Little Bookroom in English for the first time." -Florence Fabricant,The New York Times "The book that aNew York Timescolumnist once called the 'Parisian gourmet's best-kept secret' is no longer a secret...Pudlowski's voluminous reference features over 1,000 restaurants, 300 wine bars, "If you are planning a trip to Paris, I would highly recommendPudlo Paris,written by Frenchman Gilles Pudlowski.
