                <description><![CDATA[With a set menu at 19euros for 3 courses, the quality of this restaurant’s food is surprisingly good, with fresh ingredients and a lovely mix of herbs and sauces. Last night we went there. I had the salade landaise which comes with duck and mushrooms and a lovely seasoning and the lambchops as a main dish, seasoned with herbs. Dinner for 2, including a bottle of Buzet was a very reasonable 68euro. The service is incredibly good, fast and friendly. The clientele is a mix of locals and tourists but the food is authentic French. <br><br>If you can't stand small Parisian restaurants because there is no clear separation for smokers and non-smokers, this might not be the place for you. The perfect place to end an evening after having visited the Invalides or the Musee Rodin, both nearby. Oh, yes: make a reservation.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[This is a charming hotel with a view of the vineyards of Sancerre.  It is clean, comfortable and relatively cheap, but the best thing is the view. It is a short walk from the center of town, close to many restaurants and interesting little cobbled streets. They have a swimming pool and serve breakfast from 7 to 10:30. Lovely place if you're travelling through the country and want to spend some time in Sancerre and surrounding towns. <br><br>Chavignol, where the famous goat cheese comes from, is about 5 kilometres, if that, from there. There are wine producers and cheesemakers shops on the side of some of the roads, too.]]></description>

                <title>Trattoria do Sargento</title>

                <description><![CDATA[This is an Italian trattoria on Rua Pamplona, off Paulista Avenue.  Even though it is an Italian place, do not go there to eat pasta.  The best dish in this restaurant is the salada do Sargento, a salad with several different leaves, hearts of palm, tomatoes etc.  What's special about it isn't the ingredients per se (although they are spectacularly fresh and tasty) but rather the seasoning.  It's a well kept secret and I've never managed to reproduce it at home.  <br><br>One tip:  do not order anything else as the salads are huge, even the small one - they come in small, medium and large - and are expensive considering local prices.  On the other hand, I don't think anyone would wish they'd had pasta or meat instead.  It really is that good.  Unless you're a party of four plus, order the small one. Afterwards, a nice walk in the Jardins district and perhaps some shopping can be a nice way to end a lazy Sunday afternoon.]]></description>
