French Fling: A Pre-Valentine’s Dinner at Le Parisien

12:54 PM EST on February 10, 2026

Over the past few years, my wanton palate has been tickled and teased by the sommeil érotique of French cuisine…by way of Oklahoma, of course.

Sure, I would like to go to France someday (anybody need a sponsored travelogue, per chance?) but, until that time, I have been remotely spoiled by their luxurious culinary offerings, idly daydreaming of all the pastries, cheeses and fabled horse-meat awaiting me across an ocean.

Thankfully, that delicate cuisine was on full display when I treated my wife to a birthday indulgence at one of the city’s most romantic tables, Le Parisien, 440 NW 11th St., just ahead of Valentine’s Day.
