What I ate this week in Paris

 

Last night I did more dessert research 🔬 with Joyce (visiting from New York)

On Profiteroles. Joyce got a choux Chantilly, a simpler version sans sauce chocolat noir et glace 🍨 vanille.

We were at Bouillon ChartierMontparnasse👍 Have you been? A fun, crowded, noisy, and very cheap restaurant. Especially on a Saturday night. 

Our 3-course meals came to around total 32€. Chartier is famous for scribbling your bill on the paper tablecloth.

Bouillons were the original restaurants in Paris for the masses. They’ve made a big comeback in recent years with the addition of Bouillon Pigalle and Bouillon République. 

The profiteroles at Bouillon Pigalle are considered the best by French Vogue. Should I go try? Oh non! They are using soft serve🫣

Another fab dessert this week was shared with Solli at Berthillon - Pêche Melba (no peach 🍑, just tiny fraise de bois 14€) + pistache. We were not happy with our photos. Solli says we must go back & try again 🤔

At Cafe Saint Regis 

My dinner companions shared a Tarte Tropiziénne - more crème Chantilly. 

I had asperges vertes/green with Parmigiana & a soft boiled egg 🥚 

I didn’t eat any Paris Brest. Shannon, DeeAnn, Nicole & Jane shared it at Le Grand Colbert on Tuesday night.

I had artichoke hearts salad, while they had Diane Keaton’s poulet roti (from the movie “Something’s Gotta Give”). Pst, Bonnie says they didn’t have it on the menu before the movie was made. *You have to search for it 🔎 A lot of eating out for me this week! I’m headed to the marché for pamplemousse, fennel & fraise🍓 I’ll be eating at home 🏠 tonight.
