    This is a chocolate lovers dream and a very pretty, well designed small shop that is very…read moreInstagrammable and a great way to spend 30 min or an hour in Paris if you're passing through the 11th arr. I love all things chocolate, so naturally I loved this place: everything they sold, the pastries, the decor, and the chic, beautiful ambiance. We got a coffee here and their famous tiger pastry. This is something you can't find in most other pâtisseries (not like the more ubiquitous millefeuille or éclairs which you can find anymore anywhere) The tiger pâtisserie has a base made of almond flour and studded with chocolate chips and is a pretty dense cake, and then has a center of delicious chocolate ganache. I shared this with my husband along with some coffee and it was amazing - I've been trying to find this pastry all over France now. (I live in the South of France) They also sell chocolate candy bars, chocolate bars and other pastries but I'll have to go back to get more treats. Definitely stop by here if you're a chocoholic like me. The prices are a little steep but the quality of the ingredients and chocolates that are used in the pastries make it worth it.

    We brought home some wonderful chocolate bars that are sadly all gone now and we enjoyed some…read moreexcellent pastries and cookies from this shop in the 11th arrondisement while we were in Paris.

The richness of the flavor and the texture which is not reminiscent of the traditional roasted duck or foie gras, but rather a much more like a luxurious and indulgent version. We enjoyed our dinner on the outside of the restaurant after about a 20-30 minute wait. The bone marrow had the best flavor I've experienced for the dish. However, it is definitely overshadowed by the rich flavor of the foie gras. This experience was unforgettable, with our view of Parisian streets on a brisk, April night. We even came back on our last night, but didn't realize the hours on Google maps was for the deli. The restaurant closes earlier, before 9:00 PM. This meal got us thinking about Paris in a positive light, and we hope to be able to come back to eat the amazing dishes again!

    This place was a huge letdown. They had a cute little artisanal market on the front left of the…read morerestaurant. They had a number of goods to choose from and I ended up buying a few things for souvenirs. As for the actual restaurant, they had a number of delicious sounding items on their menu. Our server was very attentive to us and helped us decide on our dinner orders. Similar to the other restaurants though. After our food was delivered, it was far in between when we were checked on again. And after dessert it took even longer for our server to bring the bill. Overall, the food was a letdown. I do not exaggerate when I say that the frog legs just tasted like slightly flavored water. My friend's ravioli had a fairly decent flavored sauce but the pasta was a bit chewy. My friend's duck breast was pretty tough; I had noticed the table next to us also ordered it and they seemed to have trouble finishing/cutting theirs as well. As for my steak with foie gras, well the steak was once again tough and the foie gras was weirdly stringy. It was soft for the most part but there were parts that were tough and stringy. Maybe that's a section that's generally separated in the preparation process and it was missed? In any case it was disappointing. What wasn't disappointing was dessert though; perfectly sweet and balanced.
