- Alexander Lobrano visits Le Garde Temps…
- Patricia Wells checks into L’Auberge du 15…
- Pudlo falls into a delicious trap…
- Omnivore is throwing one last party before summer: 100% Friends will be hosted by a “brigade” that includes hot baker Gontran Cherrier, Bruno Verjus, Giovanni Passerini,
Sébastien Demorand, and Gilles Choukroun. [Omnivore]
- On June 25, a group of pastry devotees, led by their patron Saint Adam-of-the-holy-glycemic-index shall descend upon Jacques Genin’s shop en masse, buy stuff, then go eat it in a nearby park and wait for the rapture. Or something. [Paris Pâtisseries]
- John Talbott blisses out at Vivant, thanks to a “plain old duckling… blessed with the finest use of fleur de sel I’ve had in a long time… cooked perfectly so as to be tasty, firm but luscious inside and crispy outside.” He then recommends two additional addresses where one can find “superb products and perfectionistic cooking“: Café des Musées and Akrame. [John Talbott's Paris]
- The Portland food truck scene this isn’t, and yet Le Fig has managed to round up a few addresses for eating on the go. They cite Al Taglio, L’Avant Comptoir and L’As du Fallafel, among others, as places where you can wolf standing up and without shame. They even point to two real-live carts: Le Camion bio and VéloCafé. [Figaroscope]
At this wild pâtisserie/boulangerie, you’ll find multicolored marshmallows, square-shaped tarts, and a baba that receives its dose of rum from a hypodermic needle.
Date Night
- In anticipation of the looming V-Day, Le Figaro published a list of “The Most Romantic Restaurants in Paris,” none of which we include in our own restaurant guide. If seduction is to be equated with a Jacques Garcia interior, then we are hopelessly unromantic. [Le Figaro] You might also want to ignore the roundup of romantic restaurant that was published by eVous, and just book any of our Editors’ Picks that are open on Monday. Great food is sexy, period.
Hells No
- Dios mio! After being dragged against her will to La Perla, our editor declares the lobster papaya quesadillas to be “truly revolting – creamy and fishy with a gagging sweetness,” and says “there is no reason to eat this sort of slop when better options abound.” For more on these, see our picks for Mexican restaurants in Paris.
