La Bonne Table

Published 1964

First Edition

Here is the best of Bemelmans on the subject he loved most: la bonne table. A travelogue of the high life that is absolutely timeless. Entrancing memories and utterly charming pictures transport the reader behind the scenes of the great hotels of Europe and America--including the immortal "Hotel Splendide"--and such restaurants as the Tour d'Argent in Paris and Le Pavillon in New York.

The late chef/writer/television star Anthony Bourdain said that this was one writer who every food-lover just had to read.
