652322 Mon Sep 14 12:57:22 -0700 2009 9 49 France 0 5029233 I have a 2 hour delay in the Paris Airport. Can anybody suggest a good place to have a nice meal? Thank you, Stuart Mon Sep 14 12:57:22 -0700 2009 16501 Hypnotic23 1 5030577 Assuming you mean CDG airport, there's a decent Brasserie Flo at 2F. That said, A 2h delay probably won't leave you much time, especially if you have to change terminal. Most likely you'll have time for sandwich and pastry from one of the Paul stands, one of the best options available in CDG.

If it's one of the 2's, Flo is it but I'm less enthusiatic than Soup is, it's the poorest of the Group Flo.

It's also the best option in CDG2 save the Sheraton (and Paul, and McDonalds of course) Wed Sep 16 12:39:56 -0700 2009 5034119 96547 souphie 2 5036140 It's interesting to me as a journalist who writes about airport terminals that CDG doesn't have a better selection of food to choose from. Is there a terminal there that does have an excellent offering as befits the city it's so close to?? Thu Sep 17 01:39:59 -0700 2009 5030577 11939 zuriga1 3 5036248 I agree, as Soup says the Sheraton is there too and the guidebooks rate it well but I've never had a layover at the right time to eat there.

Thu Sep 17 05:14:51 -0700 2009 5036140 1088206 John Talbott 3 5036319 As a frequent business traveller through both CDG and Heathrow (both domestic and international) I think I understand why. At CDG you can get through security and to the gate quite quickly compared to Heathrow, I found I cut the transit time quite short in CDG (esp if you know where the short security queues are) so less hanging around for a plane. That said, give me "Paul" (bakery) anytime over an equivalent UK high street chain - it isn't the best in Paris but it is far better than many. Does the recently reopened "E" (I think) not have a few interesting options, very slick modern looking cafes. Possibly more Italian than French though Thu Sep 17 05:56:18 -0700 2009 5036140 64584 PhilD 4 5036378 Well, get me Burger King anytime over anything in CDG, but that's another matter. 2E has nothing good, no. Actually, the place that has good restaurants, strangely, is Orly. Thu Sep 17 06:23:05 -0700 2009 5036319 96547 souphie 1 5146454 Well for my 3 hour delay at this airport after listening to all your suggestions the spot we dined at was: Brasserie Flo at 2F First off I couldn't believe how expensive it was but we gave it a shot, over average place for food but if I was at this airport again I would try somewhere else. I did notice a spot for asian fusion food & fish which I would of prefered. Now on to what we had: I started with the fish soup which was o.k. My main dish was lamb shanks with frittes (french fries) My friend ordered the skirt steak with mashed potatoes. Thank you, Stuart Sun Nov 01 06:15:48 -0800 2009 5029233 16501 Hypnotic23 2 5149725 Hypnotic: Could you explain exactly where the "sian fusion food & fish" place is. Thanks.
