Le Bal Café & Square des Deux Nethes

One day when I was up in Montmartre, I stopped at Le Bal Café, 6 Impasse de la Défense, 75108 for lunch. The cafe was started by two former employees of the famous Rose Bakery and the menu has an Anglo-French flair. Although I have heard brunch can get quite busy, I did not have a problem getting a…

Who can resist a shop that sells over 100 different jams? And if sweet preserves aren't your thing, you can also find chutneys as well as multiple savory spreads at La Chambre aux Confitures. There are two store locations with one in the 9th arrondissement at 9, rue des Martyrs, 75009 and the other in 3rd arrondissement at 60,…

Not sure if you heard the news? Antonio Teixeira from the Délices du Palais, 60 boulevard Brune, 75014 placed first in the 2014 Grand Prix de la Baguette de Tradition Française de la Ville de Paris. The winner is awarded a prize of 4000 euros and has the opportunity to provide baguettes to French President Francois Holland's Elysee Palace for…

As I may have mentioned before I have quite the sweet tooth. So I was surprised that I actually liked the galette better than the crêpe. I had expected that I would have preferred the slightly more sweet crêpe (made from white flour) over the slightly more savory galette (made from buckwheat flour). In fact, a "complète" (a…

I recently found out that Frenchie: New Bistro Cooking is coming out in English and is going to be available in April. French born and trained, Greg Marchand started Frenchie, 5-6 rue de Nil, 75002 in 2009 after spending time working in New York, London, Spain and Hong Kong. The seasonal menu offers just two choices for appetizers…

How excited was I to buy the "Le Pain Quotidien" cookbook? Je suis enthousiaste! I love, love their tartines. Does a hummus and curried cauliflower or a toasted Camembert, walnut and fig tartine sound as good to you as to me? If so, grab their cookbook! Or even better visit one of their several restaurants in…

Have you been to Meert (16 rue Elzévir, 75003), a lovely little chocolate and confectionery shop in the Marais? You might have missed it since the store is tucked away on a quiet corner, but it is well worth a stop. With an abundance of chocolate and confectioneries, I had a hard time making a choice. I…

I have a sweet tooth and fortunately the opportunities for this "tooth" to be satisfied never cease to exist in the City of Light. I have to say the sweets that can be had at Le Loir dans la Théière are some of my favorites. Le Loir dans la Théière (3 rue des Rosiers, 75004) is located…

Head to Le Marché des Enfants Rouges in the northern Marais for a wide variety of fresh food options as well as some great people watching. The "Market of Red Children" was once home to an orphanage where the little residents wore red to designate their status. But today, it is reportedly the oldest covered…
