Paris is best taken at her own pace. And while the Musee d'Orsay is the #1 essential
visit for any visitor to Paris, it can be a difficult place to pace.
Hour long waits to buy tickets, giant crowds, a lack of good nearby
dining.
The solution for the tickets is easy; go a day or two in advance and
buy tickets at the nearby kiosk. Then the day you visit you whisk
right inside, no wait. (Except for today, where the kiosk was
perversely closed.)
The solution for dining was also easy, but alas has gotten harder. There is a serious restaurant inside the museum, on the second floor in a beautifully restored ballroom. Alas, the service has gone downhill significantly since last year; the lack of linen makes the place feel just a bit too much like a dismal cafeteria. The menu is still slightly ambitious and the execution is still just as uneven. Our filet of pork was great, the entrecote serviceable, but the mushroom terrine was watery. I can recommend this place for lunch, but only as a comfortable part of an extended visit to the museum. It's a shame they gave up on the tablecloths and other trappings of a real restaurant. |
