Free macarons from top Paris pastry chefs all day long on March 20!
Paris is a playground for lovers of macarons – those little treats with the quick-dissolving shells, creamy centers, and wacky flavors. Macs in Paris are easy to find, but not all cookies are created equal.

- Christian Etchebest has sold Le Troquet and will be opening something new soon. He’s still running La Cantine du-said-Troquet, however.
- A great meal at the “small, generous and very happy” bistro L’Atelier d’Antan confirms Lobrano’s “hunch that the creativity bear that seems to be haunting chefs all over Europe these days really needs to be heeled. Media wants New! New! New!, but sometimes, even many times, old is much better as long as it’s seriously, sincerely good.” [Alexander Lobrano]
- What do we think Thierry Richard likes most about bobo canteen “par excellence,” Nanashi?

- “A Saturday night cuisine, neo-conformist, a little coquettish,” says Emmanuel Rubin in his two-heart review of newcomer Le Tintilou, praising the “delicate” date and onion ravioli, scallops with cocoa and chorizo, and a “ravishing” dessert of rhubarb
