Thai Cravings
When will Paris get a truly wonderful and special Thai
restaurant?
Not yet. The much touted Le Livingstone - with its
dark colonial decor, leopard-skin banquettes, hunting
trophies and stuffed animal heads - nets a big zero
in the flavor category. A nonclassic beef and lemon-grass
salad featured about half a head of lettuce, almost
no dressing, a few strips of meat and nary a hint of
lemon grass.
Equally watered down and wimpy was the green curry
chicken, swimming in a thoroughly flavorless broth.
The music is nice, prices reasonable, service efficient
and friendly, but I do not think I'll be back.
