I immediately baked up a batch of the Multigrain Chocolate Chip Cookies and then made the Sesame-Miso Cookies…so good, too!! If you’ve been to MOKONUTS, you’ve had Moko Hirayama’s incredible cookies and know why people come from all over the world to have them.
A local market in the 12th arrondissement where we stopped at different stalls selling strawberries and sour cherries.
A known spice shop at the corner of the street with a friendly owner.
We tried the L’Incroyable meringues, which were utterly delicious! The area is up and coming according to locals.
A covered market where we stopped for cheese at Fromagerie Hardouin-Langlet and coffee. The market is filled with various stalls.
A place where locals take a break from the market for a morning glass of wine and some delicious nibbles.
A tiny bar in Paris, created by Franck Audoux, known for its classic French cocktails with a twist. The French 75 was incredibly refreshing on a warm summer day.
Warm chocolate lava cakes with salted butter caramel. The user suggests putting parchment or foil under them.
Enjoyed shoyu ramen, very tasty.
Tagliatelle with peas and pancetta, jambon, and a lineup of wines that were drunk.
Extra tasty falafel (so good, and crispy!).
Trying on glasses; humorous comment about looking like a dentist from the 1970s.
I’ve been shopping at Épicerie Gdetou ever since I arrived here, and said that if the shop didn’t exist, I didn’t know if I could live here. It’s where 'in the know' Parisians shop for everything, from fragrant vanilla beans (at near wholesale prices!) to the best French chocolates, sold in bars or in bulk. I stopped by to talk with owner Benoît Bourloton about the various chocolates he carries in the shop and what makes French chocolate so special.
I asked my friend @margot.combat of @combat.belleville cocktail bar in Paris to come over and try one, warm out of the oven…and give her honest take.
Had a rhubarb chausson aux pommes for breakfast, enjoyed it.
Loved the pickled strawberries.
They enjoyed a delightful springtime salad of fresh peas, tomatoes, and strawberries, and mentioned that the main course and service were stellar.
One of the top picks for coffee in Paris.
Frisée salad with bacon and egg and Beef pot au feu were both enjoyed here.
The famed chocolate kid’s treat, Oursins guimauve, chocolate-covered marshmallow bears, brilliantly reinvented with a layer of nutty praline added - so good!
They picked up a chausson aux pommes for breakfast, claiming it's the best in the city, and also enjoyed the Pain St. Martin, a hearty loaf made with ancient grains.
They had the pizza of the week, which featured white asparagus and wild garlic, and referred to it as another 'best'.
They treated themselves to a box of chocolates from this shop.
They had moules for dinner but skipped the frites because it’s asparagus season.
They enjoyed a perfect ice-cold Martini there.
They visited Costco and discovered that Reese’s protein powder is available.
David Lebovitz mentioned Fix & Fogg’s Everything Butter filled with tons of nuts and seeds, stating that it’s amazing to put on a piece of baguette in the afternoon.
We stopped for some cheese just inside the front door of Marché Beauvau.
After ~25 yrs in France, still amazed by the spectacular cheeses we can get.
This chocolate cake was incroyable.
Had dosa here.
Love the grilled brioche with spicy butter and sardines.
