Now, we shift a little bit. We veer towards the humorous, casual, light French cuisine. More importantly, it is short film about the café where iconic movie “Inception” which starred equally iconic actor, Leonardo di Caprio, was filmed.

Looking at the neighborhood, one would wonder how Leonardo di Caprio’s team decided to film at this café. When one thinks of Hollywood, one thinks posh more so because this is in Paris. But apparently, the story line of Leonardo di Caprio’s film did not call for posh. It called for such an unpretentious café probably equal to the role Leonardo di Caprio played in “Inception”. The owner, Eric, I think his name is was a bit standoffish in the beginning. But soon he warmed up to my equally warm personality. He was humorous, obviously an incredible, natural chef. His café is small, simple but apparently a great many parties and dinners are held there. It is so unpretentious that the meat cutter is off to the side of the café but in plain sight. Maybe this is what drew Leonardo di Caprio’s team to this place.

It is noteworthy to mention that Leonardo di Caprio just recently got nominated during the 92nd Oscar Academy Awards for his role in the movie, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”.
