Best Paris Pastry Shops: Past, Present and Future!

Paris is the place to go for the world’s best pastry. With so many prestigious pâtissiers present in the capital, choosing where to indulge can be a challenge. Classic addresses like La Durée, Fauchon or Lenôtre still have their place on any best-of list, but they are being joined by…

With Toru Okuda at his new restaurant

I’ve never been to Okuda’s san flagship restaurants Koju (3*) and Okuda (2*) in Tokyo, so I can’t compare, but the quality of the products at his newly opened restaurant in Paris couldn’t get any better, while his skills and cooking techniques are simply mind-blowing. Pictures and review coming soon!

Lunch at L’Arpège

I don’t think that 3 Michelin starred L’Arpège in Paris needs any introduction. The legendary master of vegetables Alain Passard has not only influenced many chefs around the world, but has also shown through his brilliant work that a simple onion or a cabbage are not just the “poor cousins” of…

Passage 53

2 Michelin starred Passage 53 in Paris (53 Passage des Panoramas75002 Paris; tel. +33 1 42 33 04 35) is a living example of what happens when Japanese perfectionism and minimalism is married with the opulence of the French haute cuisine. Despite the restaurant’s tiny size, the cooking is irreproachable…

Medi Terra Nea

New good address alert in Paris. From the first glance, Medi Terra Nea might look like just another conveyor belt sushi restaurant with a quirky interior. In fact, it is aconveyor belt restaurant, just instead of sushis, the little plates cruising around the spacious restaurant contain delicious Mediterranean basin cuisines…

L'Ambroisie

When it comes to 3 Michelin starred L’Ambroisie in Paris (9 Place des Vosges75004 Paris;tel.+33 1 42 78 51 45) there are two camps of opinions: for some, it’s the ultimate Frenchhaute gastronomie experience, for others – the restaurant is too classic and boring. Dining at L’Ambroisie is like travelling…

Jugetsudo tea room

Owned by 160 years old dried seaweed and tea wholesaler from Tokyo Maruyama Nori, Jugetsudo tea salon and shop is like a tiny island of Japanese culture on the Left Bank of Paris. Here you can buy premium Japanese tea (like exceptional Gyokuro), beautiful artisan-made pottery or have a cup…

Jean François Piège

Two Michelin starred Jean François Piège (79 Rue Saint-Dominique 75007, tel. +33 1 47 05 49 75 ) is like no other gastronomic restaurant in Paris. Its tables are not covered with white tablecloths, the waiters are wearing jeans instead of black suits and the dining room looks more like…
