The Omnivore Food Festival is returning to Paris in 2012 after years of taking place in Deauville. The atmosphere at that seaside resort town was deliciously debauched. Contributing editor Sophie Brissaud went as far as to joke that the festival was “a terrific collective sex party where everyone gets naked and screws like bunnies while eating pleine mer oysters and drinking Plageoles wines.”
This year, in an attempt to recreate the flirting grounds of the Normandie Barrière hotel, Omnivore will be hosting an invitation-only party at the Bataclan. With great music, plenty of alcohol, and tastings created by some of France’s most famous chefs, it’s the place where all Paris food hounds will want to be on March 11.
