The Divine Macaroons

Pierre Herme macaroons would definitely be on the top of “must eat before you die” list if such list existed. These pieces of art are as light as snowflakes, melting in your mouth and have the most innovative and amazing flavours. Apart of their classical flavours macaroons such as “salted…

The Indian feast in Ratn

I already spoke in my previous post how I love Indian cuisine. And the discovery of Ratn (9 Rue de la Tremoille, 75008, tel. O1 40 70 10 09 ), an ” haute gastronomie” Indian just steps from Champs-Elysees was a nice discovery. It’s a brand new Indian restaurant opened…

Let’s agree on the fact that Paris is not very “strong” for Japanese and sushi restaurants. There are little “real Japanese” places and if there are some, it seems that they are “frozen” in the 70s or 80s different from London or New York where there are many modern sushi…

Its long time ago I wanted to try this Italian restaurant in Marais (10 rue de Sevigne) as many guides claim that its the best Italian food in Paris. And.. one more time I learned that the great marketing and PR (especially the celebrities word of mouth) can make miracles.…

Berthillon Ice Cream

The Berthillon Ice Cream is probably as mythical as La Duree macaroons. And you don’t need to go far to make sure of that – any nice day or late evening there will be always people queuing outside one of the Berthillon resellers on the Île Saint-Louis. (The list of…

L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon, Paris

I will repeat myself, but L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon (5 Rue de Montalembert ,75007) is my favourite restaurant in Paris. It is not only about the excellent food (tapas – small tasting plates) and chic ambience, but also the great people working there (like Mr Hernandez). L’Atelier doesn’t take reservations…

Mon Vieil Ami, Paris

Mon Vieil Ami ( 69 Rue St-Louis-en-L’lle, 75004) is the Parisian “spin-off” of the starred Alsace chef Antoine Westermann. We went there on last night as we wanted to change and try some new restaurant in Paris (we always go to the same restaurants finally!) and since long time ago…

There are two great places in Paris that ARE NOT closed on Sundays which is quite an exception :). They are both in St Germain, just steps from each other, and they are both world-famous. The first is Gérard Mulot (76 Rue de Seine, 75006), a boulangerie and “trateur” where…
