The Daily Bite: New and old nuts

By Meg Zimbeck On July 22, 2011
  • After eighteen months of meticulously documenting the work of Paris pastry chefs, Adam has finally had a pastry created in his honor – L’Ami Caouette at Un Dimanche à Paris. As a nod to Adam’s American heritage, Quentin Bailly incorporated peanut butter into an otherwise very apricot dessert.

Our Guide to Paris: L’Agrume

By Our Paris Guide On August 20, 2010

This contemporary bistro was seriously hyped in its early days, thanks in part to the 37€, five-course menu and a young chef with a great resumé, and perhaps novelty of a middle-of-nowhere location, deep in the fifth. One to consider if you’re in the neighborhood.
