I too ate at Guy Savoy as a single. The staff made me feel like a VIP and Savoy himself came out to greet me. We had a nice conversation through his broken English and my horrible middle-school french. As I was leaving, the maitre 'd gave me a bag with a signed menu, note and a sweet for later. What class ...
Thank you for the armchair travel, it is sorely needed. The covers of those cookbooks are delightful, I'm dreaming of a future trip to Paris and rummaging through the many used bookshops.
I had Thanksgiving Day lunch 4 years ago at Guy Savoy solo and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The Artichoke soup with truffles and parmesan was incredible, the wines by the glass superb and the service excellent. And Guy Savoy is as personable and accessible as any great chef I've met. Wonderful restaurant.

Wow!! Love these old French menus! These are right out of Escoffier!
Ruth, I'd love to share some of my old menus and cookbooks. If you like my email is chefjim3535@gmail.com I can email them to you.
I would love that!
