I was at Le Paradis Bistro for dinner on Tuesday night. I travel an awful lot for work, so I dine out on my own quite a bit which is something I\u2019ve really come to enjoy. It\u2019s nice to be alone and anonymous, able to have a few unencumbered drinks and just people watch instead of being on guard of your personality. I suppose my dining standards have become pretty high over the years, but I have to say that Le Paradis really delivered, and at a great price. The steak frites, although nothing fancy, were entirely dependable, and the authentic bustle and atmosphere of the place, but for one woman, were great.<\/p>\n

Across from me at the bar where I was eating was a couple. The man looked bored and like he had to play golf because his job required him to do so, and the woman was opinionated, dull and used to being rich. She was eating a pork chop that she dramatically described as, \u201csucculent, so succulent,\u201d and was going on about The Walking Dead as if she was the only person on the planet who had ever watched the show. She was just so bloody dull. Honestly, it seemed like ordering the pork chop was probably the best idea she had ever come up with in her life.<\/p>\n

I despised her, and it was clear that her date did, too, because he kept looking over at me with an apologetic, sympathy-seeking look on his face. I liked his hands, and I kept looking over at him, too. Feeling stroppy, I asked the bartender if he would send her a drink (a zombie) on my behalf, accompanied with a note I\u2019d written down on a piece of paper, \u201c Here, drink this, maybe it will make you more interesting.\u201d When she looked at the note her face went really pale and then really red, and instead of saying anything she pretended that she had to make a phone call and scurried off to the washroom. While she was gone I asked her date if he wanted to leave with me. He said yes and we so we went. \u00a0I\u2019d have to say Le Paradis is a lovely restaurant that I would give an 8 out of 10. I would definitely go back.<\/p>\n
