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!

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!

Petrossian Caviar tasting & Coco Jobard

I must work on my salmon colors...

Yesterday was a glorious preview of Holiday caviars and salmon from Petrossian.

Salmon colors in many forms, shapes and consistencies.

Teaspoons of caviar decorated many different dishes

Here on poached quail eggs with crusty polenta lining the plate...

These puff balls look like truffles but in fact burst in your mouth full of caviar crème.

In the next room the caviar degustation awaits.

A 'flight' of 9 caviars starting with the 'reserve', delicate and not too salty.

9 popsicle stick tastes later we're feeling on top of the world.

There's a wide variety of dreamy Petrossian gift boxes including this keep-it-for-yourself box including requisite vodka.

What to wear to a caviar tasting?
Black + a slew of Russian-style baubles worn by Coco Jobard, a food designer.

Lastly miniature desserts to cleanse the palette.

Then down the steps...back to reality. 

To dream sweet dreams of caviar & Champagne
