Fouquet's

**Passage cue:** In Ian Fleming's short story "From a View to a Kill," Bond sits at an outdoor table at Fouquet's in Paris, orders an Americano, and broods after a failed assignment. ([thejamesbonddossier.com](https://www.thejamesbonddossier.com/books/for-your-eyes-only-book/food-and-drink.htm?utm_source=openai)) **Why it matters:** Fleming often uses restaurants to do fast character work. Fouquet's supplies class, location, and mood in a few strokes: Bond is in Paris, he is stylish enough to know where to sit, and the elegance of the terrace sharpens his loneliness rather than relieving it. That is an inference from the documented scene-setting role the restaurant plays in accounts of the story.
