<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">Last week, to celebrate our <a href="http://bellevivir.blogspot.com/2007/03/there-is-no-remedy-for-love-but-to-love.html" target="blank">wedding</a> anniversary, my hubby, our precious <a href="http://bellevivir.blogspot.com/2008/11/quick-note.html" target="blank">little bundle</a> of joy and I dined at <a href="http://www.indochinenyc.com/" target="blank">Indochine</a>, one of my favorite restaurants in New York City. This restaurant was established in 1984 and since then has been a favorite among the famous and world socialites. The food, a fusion of French and Vietnamese cuisine, is exquisite-I personally recommend their Vietnamese Bouillabaisse - And the drinks are one only-enough reason to visit it. But, every time I step into this place I get mesmerized by its decor. This is what I would call a perfect Tropical Luxury style. With its famous banana leaf wallpaper, black and white checkered floors, green leather banquettes and those perfect toned lighting sconces, set the mood to transport you to the one time French colonized, Indochine.</div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF1vKLlqbIsySNnfhkRgXVkxog0j-oncvUD_LZ4lC6AdYcoYBvIo9bRwCvBQghA-4Rd0MLwCHlgsgqCElLyyQWZDfgvPqkmKum0_mKgMs9XnI_Ktgrr5aWx3-559H0Yp9u0Dw6_-yHDfo/s1600-h/4indochine.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="indochine restaurant nyc, banana leaf wallpaper,Catherine Deneuve" border="0" height="268" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306832788778814578" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjF1vKLlqbIsySNnfhkRgXVkxog0j-oncvUD_LZ4lC6AdYcoYBvIo9bRwCvBQghA-4Rd0MLwCHlgsgqCElLyyQWZDfgvPqkmKum0_mKgMs9XnI_Ktgrr5aWx3-559H0Yp9u0Dw6_-yHDfo/s400/4indochine.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>After you enter through a very Indochine looking door with its neon lighting sign you find this gorgeous space in front of the bar.
