February 6, 2009








The restaurant is fully booked until February 6 and we are no longer taking reservations for any date after that.

Lunch is still available (about two weeks in advance) on Thursdays and Fridays at 13h. There are still a lot of cancelations so don't hesitate to call and bug us about getting a table. Thanks for your patience. In my wildest dreams, I never imagined a restaurant full six months in advance.

What happens after February 6th?

I'm not sure yet. I have investigated opening another restaurant in Paris and we may be on to something. We're a little bit past the dreaming stage, but we are still working out the details. Marie (in the kitchen!) and Audrey (wine!) will continue to be important parts of the next step.

My little restaurant is just too small. The kitchen already needs a makeover and we are at maximum capacity in terms of refrigerator space and wine storage. It just isn't comfortable for us or the customers!

I'm not sure what I will do with the current SPRING space should we move. The next restaurant will be a lot bigger, but will only have a few additional seats. The point of moving Spring is to offer more to our customers)- more wine, more interesting ingredients, more comfort...

The project would include the complete makeover of a former skateboard shop in the heart of Paris.

What exciting news! I just don't know how you will find the time for all this, but I can't wait to see the results. Just make sure you are open by the last week of May because we want to enjoy another feast at Spring like the one we were so lucky to have on May 16 this year! Good Luck!!

Bonjour.

Just read the rave IHT article on yours and decided to take a peak on your blog. Scallops with crab sauce... that sounds too wonderful. I look forward to a lunch there next month! I'm flying half around the world for it :)

Best,
Jay

Hi Daniel! Did you ever get a chance to look at the Minneapolis menus we dropped off last October? You were so busy peeling pears! Your new space sounds exciting-maybe we'll actually get in to eat one day. Meanwhile, Veronica did not make the Food Channel cut but is still blogging at http://breakfastandbed.blogspot.com
Take care and don't forget to rest!
