The Daily Bite: December 14

- Adam Wayda presents a collection of Macaron Crimes and Misdemeanors, highlighting the hollow shells and detached feet that plague some of this city’s most talented pâtissiers. The most consistently good work, he says, comes from Café Pouchkine, Jean-Paul Hévin, Ladurée and Sadaharu Aoki. [Paris Pâtisseries]
- Le Figaro rounds up the year’s best, naming Le Pantruche (best of the best), Frenchie Bar à Vins (best annex), Chatomat (best surprise), Septime (best nouvelle, nouvelle cuisine), Au Passage (best “bobophile”) and many others among their favorites. [Le Figaro]
- Bruno Verjus introduces us to Alain Hing, a natural wine enthusiast who’s selling bottles and cooking up sausages at a new place Au Quai at 15 rue Alibert, 75010. [Food Intelligence]
- François-Régis Gaudry gives a “bon” to the galette complète at Crêperie Josselin (which we named as one of Five Great for Crêpes in Paris). Crusty on the outside, nice and gooey on the inside. [L'Express]
- Philippe Toinard joins the critical dog pile atop Le Dodin, the new restaurant from Mark Singer. His dessert was mildly alluring, but not enough to make him forget the two preceding dishes which were “cruelly lacking in conviction… and talent.” [Philippe Toinard]
