Restaurant Le144 Petrossian


When life gives you caviar.
 
You’re probably at Petrossian.  Restaurant Le 144 Petrossian has a new chef Julien Violet, new décor & new menu.

Last night was bloggers tasting night at Le 144 Petrossian.

New York was never like this.

Les oeufs de saumon sauvage, baratta, fleurs et feuilles.

Le Crabe Imperial.

L'Oeuf caviar. Oeuf de poule, fleurette au celery, caviar Alverta.

Miam Miam!

Meet Parisian blogger Caroline of The Wanderer..click click


Though no longer a vegetarian I'm not ready for le boeuf tartare even if dotted generously with caviar.

Desserts? No problem. On the left a mini-Pavlova meringue filled with chocolat Guanaja, perfume de the plus a fraise. In the middle a mini-Napoleon. And right a mini fig-quince tartelette inside spun sugar with a bergamote coulis.
 
A favorite pastime in New York was tea and a tarte and sketching at Cafe Petrossian.
 
Et voila
 
And back in 2006 I had a watercolor desserts exhibit in the café. Remembrances of desserts past...
Last night Caroline, Sollie and I walked home after the tasting at Petrossian on 144 rue l'Universite 75007.
Three Cinderellas returning to our tiny Paris pumpkins.
Have a wonderful pumpkin pie tomorrow PBers!

    1. Oh I wish you were along to encourage me to try and taste Kiki.
      I've gotten much better but still could use a push now and then to try something out of my comfort zone.
