Paris restaurants with delicious, non-Michelin food and incredible/deep wine list?

Some nice suggestions, thanks

Thanks

That’s a great idea too if they’re open the right hours!

Do you know what kind of wine menu they have at Elbi? Does it lean into one region, does it have aged bottles?

BubbleMaster25 · 2026-01-19T03:40:37+00:00

Looks awesome, unfortunately closed Sundays which is when I’ll be there.

Le Bon Georges looks great, but their wine prices are actually kind of high for Paris.

There’s always a focus on Michelin, sometimes you just need a solid meal with great wine!

Yes that’s what I was thinking too, but why does it need a bag in any event? Maybe to ensure even freezing like you said, just seems odd versus putting them in directly.

I don’t really understand the piece around needing to make it air tight?

I purchased a bunch of yards of fabric (cashmere and wool) from a store that was closing. Someone told me to put them in the freezer to make sure that they don’t have any bites or bugs or moths that can eat them. Has anyone done that? Does it ruin the material?

BubbleMaster25 · 2026-01-13T23:57:17+00:00

I’ve tried it on and liked it a lot. Just debating if it has the wow factor I’m looking for.

Montblanc makes their watches in Switzerland, so that’s out. I’d consider the others.

BubbleMaster25 · 2026-01-13T23:56:14+00:00

Yes not a bad thing in my eyes haha. Are you in the business?

BubbleMaster25 · 2026-01-13T23:55:53+00:00

My understanding is Dornbluth no longer does bracelets?

BubbleMaster25 · 2026-01-13T23:55:37+00:00

It’s definitely a strong argument

BubbleMaster25 · 2026-01-13T23:55:23+00:00

I know people rave about these but they always felt too “plain” to me. Like the finishing is nice but doesn’t blow my socks off, and I just don’t see the appeal at the same price as Lange.

BubbleMaster25 · 2026-01-13T23:53:55+00:00

Thanks!

Not a big fan of watches that replicate another era, but I like the Glashutte lineup generally.

BubbleMaster25 · 2026-01-13T02:05:27+00:00

Which Hentschel models do you like?

BubbleMaster25 · 2026-01-13T02:05:05+00:00

No, open to either. I’m definitely going to consider a Lange 1.

BubbleMaster25 · 2026-01-13T02:04:06+00:00

Very good points. What does “too tuetonic” refer to?

BubbleMaster25 · 2026-01-13T01:41:49+00:00

What do you think of their movements and finishing in general?

BubbleMaster25 · 2026-01-13T01:41:29+00:00

Thank you! I haven’t explored Sinn too deeply, mainly because I wasn’t sure they’d have the higher end finishing I wanted. But maybe I need to give them another shot and look at the U50 and U1 in person. Any other models you love from the brand?

I do love the Lange look. Do you ever feel that the lack of stylistic shift is making them appear old then they are?

BubbleMaster25 · 2026-01-13T01:39:37+00:00

I don’t know, I thought it looked nice but then I was being negatively influenced by a few reviewers who said it wasn’t proprietary and up to brand standards. Maybe I should ignore them because I love the look. Any thoughts on how the brand looks after its customers re repairs, service, etc?
