When we were in Québec (city) at the end of 2014, we ate in this little café, the Café de Paris and while we waited for our meal, I photographed this part of the restaurant, as the decoration seemed to be unique, if not a bit random in design! It might have been a bit off-putting to have that bust staring disapprovingly at you while you ate, which might explain the empty tables near him, in spite of the temptation of the bottle of champagne! You can see from this post and image that otherwise it was a uniquely romantic environment. https://plus.google.com/u/0/+EllieKennard/posts/dYRTxEaXjvC

Exactly so, +Beena R – I have often done that very thing. I have photos of the interior of the local Turkish restaurant – lights, hanging stuff (not sure what it is) and even the light coming through the candles. There is so much when you look around these places.
Wonderful warm ambience except for the table cloth..I agree with your observation 🙂
Some times a restaurant looks so ethnic and rich I feel like walking around and taking photos of the artefacts. +Ellie Kennard
+Ursula Klepper for sure happy, you can be certain!
It was/is, +Samir Ben Said​!
Nice Place
Thank you for bringing me back to this nice story of the waiter taking a photo from you both! … And maybe not looking happy but I suppose happy anyway. :o)
Thanks a lot +Sumit Sen
Thank you +Carol Ayala 🙂
Very pretty!
How lovely!
+Sandra Nesbit 😎 it doesn't happen to everyone, I admit! But thanks for liking his portrait despite his shortcomings.
Promises made by a bust? Well, sometimes, I guess. I"m totally without personal experience on this one. You'd think he'd smile just a bit…after all…it's not often that anyone ever listen to a bust. Promise or no. Hmmmmm. Well, I think it owes you an apology for the judgmental attitude, +Ellie Kennard. And a thank you for recording its image so beautifully!
+Alex Lapidus​ that will teach me to pay attention to promises made by a bust. What did I expect?
+Leonardo Hervacio Arenas it was. Thanks!
You are right! Not just looking happy, but… Look here: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+EllieKennard/posts/dYRTxEaXjvC +Ursula Klepper​
😃
+Alex Lapidus​ I have a feeling they were both empty. If you remember the story you will remember that his promise was empty too. 😕
I remember the story :-). I think the guy is just eyeing the Perrier-Jouet; the Moet & Chandon looks suspiciously empty.
Is this the place where you have this nice image of both of you sitting at a table and look happy?
I love these colors, the place is spotless and also very nice.
+Dylan Johnson it was certainly distracting, in a good way!
+Linda Jess well spotted on the tin walls bit! Thanks, Linda.
I will have to agree with you about the bust staring at you. Seem like he is looking rather disapprovingly at you.Love the windows and the tin walls.
Interesting place to get food, not sure I'd remember to eat if I was there hehe
+Christina Lihani it does, doesn't it? Thanks Christina!
+Prue Stopford – it's true, it was really an inspiring time. I must write about it one day… in more detail I mean. 😀
Thanks very much +Stephen Thackeray – It also had some great food!
A beautiful little pace +Ellie Kennard – and a superb shot!
What an interesting place, Ellie. It would certainly have given me ideas! The bust almost gazes from another world… 🙂
An interesting looking place. I think your word "random" fits well.
Thanks very much, +Ann Kennedy – it had quite an appeal!
That is a unique and fun looking interior! Charming and colorful shot!
