Favored by many as one of Paris's top Patisseries a visit to Blé Sucré finds former Michelin 3*…read morePastry Chef Fabrice Le Bourdat operating in more humble environs, a space with Candies and Packaged Goods quite the departure from Le Bristol. Visited early on a Wednesday, one of two small tables outside available to sit away from rain, choices trend traditional from Madelines to Viennoiserie including a fairly good Pain au Raisin and Almond Croissant free of Frangipane. Celebrated for his Kouign Amann, less tightly formed than others but certainly not lacking for Butter or Sugar, Canele lack the expected crisp exterior while Blé Sucré's "Brest" lacks the signature shape and would better be called a Hazelnut Religeuse instead.

I decided to try the tartelette fraise (strawberry tart) since strawberry is my favorite fruit. It made for quite a tasty treat and I enjoyed eating it outside the shop.

Another great boulangerie. This place is slightly larger than the one down the street with a…read moreslightly wider selection. It gets a cheaper rating but I thought the prices were very comparable to the other boulangeries in the neighborhood.Again they had great croissants (I tried them at every boulangerie we visited) and their large macaron "sandwiches" were also delicious (although not my MOST favorite of the ones we tried in Paris). This place was also just a few steps from our apartment so we visited it a lot as well. None of the women that served us during the week spoke English but again, you don't need much in a boulangerie. The service was always friendly and efficient. Often this place was busy but service was quick. No outdoor seating, and they were open until 8pm which was awesome. Later in the day you'll find that pastries and bread are not as fresh but even though we got macaron "sandwiches" at 7pm and they seemed a little damp from the fresh fruit in them, the taste was delicious. The outer shells of the macarons were slightly tough but the overall texture wasn't bad. the berries (we tried frambriose and fraise, or raspberry and strawberry) were incredibly fresh and tasty. I'm sure if we had purchased them earlier in the day they would have been even better. We also had the coffee eclairs and they were amazing!!! I don't care that much for eclairs as I do no like the type of bread used for them, but these were good enough that I'd get them again. The filling was rich and the coffee taste was outstanding.

Oh hi hello Mokonuts! I love their mint green storefront. Lunch is reservation-only which is…read morecompletely valid for their tight space inside. You get real friendly with your table neighbors :) No matter, because I think the homey cafe vibe is what they're going for. It's run by a hardworking Japanese-Lebanese couple, and you can taste how fresh everything is. If she wasn't so busy, we would've chatted with her more! Small regret not trying their wine, but we had just landed in Paris that morning and the jet lag was hitting :P This was our first reintroduction into their more leisure dining culture, no phones and only conversation. If you come hangry, you might have a more difficult time with their longer wait times and smaller portions (please remember it's a cafe/bakery, not a full-on restaurant experience). I would come back just for their desserts because their ingredient combos are so whimsical!

Oh, how I loved dining at Mokonuts in Paris!…read more The unusual name caught my eye when I first started my restaurant research. But it was the reviews and feedback that cemented it as a "must do" for me. We managed to get a resy at this tiny (22 seats), lunch-only, Mon-Fri only, Mom and Pop shop. And it lived up to the accolades. Super-vibrant Moko Hirayama greeted and seated us. She's an ex-NYC lawyer and amateur baker turned professional baker, plus front of house wizard. Back in the miniscule open kitchen we saw her husband, Omar Koreitem, furiously finishing prep and start to cook at 12 noon sharp, all with just one other staffer. By the way, this Japanese - Lebanese couple just released a fabulous, beautiful cookbook (Mokonuts, Phaidon Press)... and it tells the story better than I can here. Suffice to say - highest recommendation - order it today! On our visit in November, my wife and I ordered almost the entire lunch menu, small by design, but absolutely terrific from start to finish. Check out some of the photos... *Organic Chicken, Pomme Ratte, Bruxelle Sprouts, Jus *Slow-Cooked Salmon, Salsify, Endives *Hamachi Crudo, Sumac, Lemon *Labné, Puntarelle *Tangy Lemon Tart, Pomegranate, Coconut Cream, Quince, Tapioca, Pomelo *Various exterior, inside, prep, dining room shots, and more. Mokonuts is one of those special places you don't come across very often. If you're headed to Paris, please start working on securing a resy ASAP. If you're not travelling, get the cookbook and enjoy at home. Either way, you can't go wrong!

I shop like I live on a deserted island. Crepes and Tartelettes were good and not to mention beignets. I hate donuts, but why do I love these little tiny deep-fried dough?

But I digress. Stopped here on a food tour and learned that this is the #3 baguette in Paris. Seeing as there must be several million bakeries in Paris at this point, that's saying something. The bread was yummy, inexpensive, and had good balance/crunch/chewiness. I enjoyed it with the meat and cheese that I bought at the market down the street. You really can't go wrong here.

Earlier in the day I was at a bakery that claimed to be the 4th or 5th best bakery in Paris and they definitely delivered! Comparing this places baguette to the bakery from earlier in the day I would have to say this place has a better crust but doesn't have the soft buttery interior the other baguette had. Don't get me wrong it was still fantastic but I definitely liked the other place better. Funny enough I realized that I had been to this bakery years prior after I ate their bread :) Thank you France for making the worlds best bread so that I could enjoy on this trip.
