Patisserie pleasures de Paris

Patisserie Boulangerie Pleasures
We have gorged on old and new favourites:

1. Du Pain et des Idees - 10eme

Highly recommended by our B&B hosts in the area and deservedly so... We devoured L'Escargot aux Pralines, Le Chausson à la Pomme Fraiche, Tarte aux Pommes, and take away Corn bread (made only once a week on Wednesdays) ...Nothing could be cosier that a paris patisserie and watching the rain fall in Paris

2. Delmontel Au
A newly discovered local place in Montmartre servng the best baguettes we have ever had to date in Paris. This is serious, we're throwing our hands up and declaring its Delmontel for 'les meilleures baguettes de Paris' (The best baguettes in Paris). No other boulangerie makes me run to its door to get the fresh batch like Delmontel does ha!!

and lets talk about the cakes. Pure perfection. This is what art looks and tastes like people. go there. There is one on rue Damremont in Montmartre but 2 other locations too, two in the 9th and 17th.

 

au Revoir, until next month...

paris, is all about le food...

Just a foodie feature on Paris below and to your right some new and some old places we've enjoyed as usual, and in the last month - enjoy! 


Manger - 'to eat'
Paris. It's all about le Food

 

Petite Paris, in our 6^th annual Parisian sojourn living in Paris 2 months each year; collecting exclusive Paris B&B apartments and digging deep into the city to unearth city secrets and latest locales; this year we've being led into the foodie scene even deeper by a local travel writer (watch out for a fab new article about Paris, food and Paris food) and we've been eating their way through every nook and cobblestone crevice and can say (or burp)...Paris is still/always ‘all about the food’ i.e Manger – to Eat!

It seems the crème de la crème of Paris’ young new and old reputable chefs have their eye on the 10th district of Paris, launching new modern meets classic cool eating ventures . Here are a few treasures in the area (listed below), we have also secured 10 new B&B apartments in the 10^th and we're also welcoming in 2015 a B&B/Gourmet package for groups and tours in the 10^th (see details above)

Bon appetit, where to EAT!

1. Gourmand promenade at Rue Saint Marthe in the 11th – stashed between Boulevard de la Villette hospital, this bumpy street has a bohemian charm quite unique in its kind. Find a line up of reputable chefs and their restaurants and specialty shops.



La Tete dans le Olives (head in the olives) provides to the best restaurants in Paris (including the Plaza Athenee Ducasse) capers, pink pepper, olive oil, products from Sicily.



La Sardine is a tasty sit down choice with lovely terrace,



La Contre Etiquette is a new generation wine cellar, rich in natural wines and small take away products and Jambo a little ethnic eatery is a must in any rising bohemian hood. quaint, aromatic and exclusive Rwandan restaurant.



2. Le Comptoir de Brice – the cities new best burgers et frites are known by all Parisians to be here in this bright casual eatery opened by Brice Morvent, semi-finalist of Top Chef in 2010, at St Martin in the 10th. Approx 15euro. 33 Rue du Chateau d’Eau 75010



3. Abri - Despite the scruffy 10th locale, this shop works thanks to chef Okiyama’s Franco-Japanese food. See Hermès ties at noon, and later it’s bobos with stubble and tattoos. Enjoy Asian palate and aesthetics, vividly fresh seasoned dishes and Paris’s best sandwich—tonkatsu pork, kimchi omelet, melted cheese, and umami-heavy sauce on toast. 92 rue du Faubourg-Poissonnière. Six-course dinner $50.



4. Bones: In the hipster-packed 11th, Australian chef James Henry revamped a former Irish pub back to its brick walls. Making his own sausage, butter, and bread, his simple, satisfying cooking recalls solid, wholesome workingmen’s food - good meat, vegetables, and potatoes. Try: roasted pigeon with potatoes and kale. 43 rue Godefroy Cavaignac. Set menus from $52.

New Paris Places

New Paris Places 

 A Few other places we have enjoyed in Paris this pat month that we highly recommend:

1. Lapin Agile - Cabaret in Montmartre

And boy what an experience and extraordinary night! Like stepping back into a surreal old-world musical underground cave of Parisian nightlife, we enjoyed here a variety of singers, pianists, accordian players, poets and so much local Parisian talent, while sitting shoulder to shoulder with other locals and visitors, crammed on little wooden stools, hand clapping, foot stomping, singing along to all the classic french and world tunes, enjoying the house cherry-wine (delish) in a deep dark red tinged evening of festivity and fun.


 

One of our most memorable Paris experiences...a must! 28euro entry got us a free drink and the freedom to sit as long as we wanted all night as musicans and talent came and went entertaining the thirsty crowd.

2. Napoleons Apartments at the Louvre
No words except, simply Magnifique!

3. St Ouen Flea and Antique Markets

 

Just north out of the peripherique (border) find a whole world of Parisian antique dealers set up in maze upon maze in passages after passages of old world beauty and memoribilia and also junk heaven (the flea market seconds side is a pulsating funky town or retro and antique bric-a-brac and fashions) where you can still pick up treasures for a few euros...plus cool casual cafes and eateries to enjoy, this is another side of Paris, not the quintessential Paris but a real artful and rustic part of 'Paris' ...












 

Interesting characters, warm and quirky, and to top off the 'window shopping' a little Gypsy Jazz over a biere (its still Paris beer week) @ La Chope de Puces - a traditional Gypsy Jazz bar and restaurant - casual friendly. We loved this!
