Les Ailes used to offer excellent prepaid shabbat dinners/lunches on Rue Richer in Paris.
Now they seem to have moved and have some sort of association (?) with a restaurant Le Refael in the 17th Arrondissement, serving a identical-looking menu to what we had last visit at Les Ailes itself.
The problem is, the 17th Arrondissement is a long walk from where we're staying.
Closer to the centre of town, there's the Bethel synagogue which serves prepaid shabbat meals. Their website, however, is not promising. It has no descriptions or menus telling you about what the food actually is, and only mentions the kashrut of the meat and bug-free salads (!!):
- Restaurant du Shabbat -
Tous les vendredis soirs et samedis midi notre synagogue BETH-EL
organise les repas shabbatiques dans son Restaurant du Shabbat .
L’ambiance est familiale et chaleureuse.
Des touristes des quatre coins du monde et des parisiens qui veulent
s’évader de temps en temps s’y retrouvent.
Viande Halak Beth-Yossef, salades non véreuses
d’Erets Israël, boissons,
Zémirot Chabat et Dvar Torah.
Sous le contrôle du BETH DIN de Paris Lémahadrin
Has anyone eaten at the Bethel synagogue? What kind of food do they serve and is the food good there? Is it as good as Les Ailes?
