There's a new dining experience on the Seine in Paris and it's all about Local Cuisine and Local Spectacular Sights. Starred Chef Tateru Yoshino follows the rhythm of the seasons and sources his vegetables from organic, local producers to provide his guests with a menu that is completely "terroir" while staying true to his Japanese heritage.

Every Sunday evening, for an hour and a half, Paris lovers and Lovers of Paris can indulge in a gourmet meal while taking in the breathtakingly beautiful sights along the River Seine: Le Grand Palais, Assembleé Nationale, Eiffel Tower... and all the landmarks along the way and inbetween.
The Paris en Scene boat is configured a little differently than its predecessors: It's intimate seating for two, four or small groups; Its leather, elegant chairs and its floor-to-roof glass walls are all conducive to fine dining and romance. All for the very reasonable price of 50 Euro per person. And the departure is from St. Michel, just steps from the Notre Dame, which makes it unique among the Dinner Cruises along the Seine. They have also partnered with local businesses so that after your 1 and 30 minute dinner cruise, for an extra Euro or two, you can take in a movie in the area or a theater show. Be sure to ask about what's on offer when you make your reservations.
For Spring the menu that Master Yoshino proposes is:
Richelieu en croûte, médaillon de foie gras, - A humble starter for what follows
Saumon « Stella Maris » mi cuit sans peau, - This salmon melts in your mouth. It is salmon cooked so perfectly that your mouth doesn't know if it's sashimi or if it's simply heaven.
crêpe de Vonnas & tomates au thym, - little cherry tomato pops of herb flavors a la Provence
Mont Blanc « maison », crème de marron & glace - if your only reference to Mont Blanc is Angelina's this will leave you gasping. So light, so flavorful, so classic and innovative all at once.
And while the food is amazing it is the landscape that will have you continuously turning away from your dinner companion. The 6:30 dinner cruise is timed just perfectly to catch the Eiffel Tower when it lights up in twinkling sparkles. For reservations: www.paris-en-scene.com
