I am a HUGE fan of everything that Marc (aka Bob) does. It all started back in the days with the…read moreopening of Juice Bar. When I saw the big baby blue awning and the communal tables and cactus and guitar, I knew someone very cool, and very competent was behind this new-for-Paris concept. Add to that an incredible talent for transmitting passion and quality and you have someone who has completely transformed Paris into a hot bed of Anglo-inspired places (for better and for worse). Holybelly, Sunken Chip, Craft, etc all owe a huge debt to Marc for paving the way for non-French food and drink concepts to find a happy home in Paris. When Marc does something he does it 100%. He's an obsessive, detail-oriented genius who will only put his moniker on something he truly and passionately believes in. With Bob's Bake Shop, he is finally showing the French what real American baking is all about. It's not a marketing strategy, a fad, a flash in the pan concept that anyone can master, American baking is serious business if you want to do it right. So like vegetarian food, soups and juices before, Marc is now ushering in a new era of quality American baked food with Bob's Bake Shop. And I couldn't be more thrilled about it! Having grown up in Brooklyn around the corner from arguably the best bagel shop in NYC, I have been craving the real deal for the past 15 years I've been living in Paris. And Marc has delivered the goods. His bagels are among the best I've ever tasted. Chewy, glossy, dense, moist -- they're so good I could actually cry! And now I can have them any day of the week since Bake Shop is open 7/7 and only a 15 minute walk from my place. What I love about Bake Shop is how on any visit you can find Marc rolling something out in the open kitchen and walking with a timer in his hand to tell him what his dough needs next -- some more kneading, a pop in the boiling water, a turn in the oven? It's all about the dough. And Marc, covered in flour as he walks around his shop, is both its slave and its master. Bake Shop is a family space, with kids running around and people getting up and down to help themselves, or place orders. It's a real American diner (even down to to Katz deli replica tables that Marc had made to oder) with American prices to match. We're not talking 25E euro brunches with random things on the menu just to fill you up for your money, here, the most you'll pay for a homemade bagel sandwich is 8E (and that's the lox and cream cheese one!), the amazing desserts are from 1-4E depending on what it is, and you can also buy bagels to go for little over 1E. Now that's what I'm talking about! Amazing food, genuine passion, relaxed environment, unpretentious prices. Marc has done it again, and we're all the better for it!

Speaking of spices, they have their own homemade spicey sauce. It was soooo good.

As a New Yorker, I was excited when I stumbled upon Nick's, as it read "Authentic New York Pizza"…read moreon the window. I went in and asked the chef where in New York he was from. He said he was not (from Bangladesh, just a little bit away from NY). He pointed to the cashier who was from NY. I asked her and she said she is from Tennessee but lived in Brooklyn. So I asked what her favorite place in Brooklyn was. Considering this was a pizza place, I thought that question was pretty self-explanatory. Her reply: the beach. When I clarified, she said some $1 slice in a train station that was now closed. It was clear that pizza knowledge was lacking here. The pizza was truly tasteless. There was near zero sauce so it was just dough and cheese. The garlic knots looked good, but probably just because I hadn't seen one in a few months. All in all, pizza of the same quality of New York is not available in Paris.

Dining is on the ground floor and a wine bar downstairs we ate in the restaurant. We were greeted by a delightful hostess and a gent who seemed to be the manager or owner but we later learned he was simply a very professional part time waiter. We went with the four course tasting menu. Soup and canapés to start. Tasty. Megre white fish. Never had it never heard of it. Apparently from Brittany. A nice light flaky and moist fish. Not fishy at all. Third was pork tenderloin, pork beignet and pork belly. The food was outstanding and the combinations were so flavorful. Dessert was strawberry sorbet on top of a flavor bomb. Quite refreshing An excellent place to check out when in town. Mark & Nancy.

They both had lived in Paris for two plus decades before opening this restaurant. You would never guess the restaurant is owned by Americans! We loved the many starters which reminded me of Korean banchon but not in any way by taste. The surprises all hail from the Verjus farms. The attached photos will speak for themselves. My favorite of the many was the baked potatoe swirl with caramelized onions and beautiful fresh creme' presented in the shape of what I remember as a butter cookie from my childhood in those round blue danish tins. We enjoyed a shared wine pairing. Photos attached. Since we did not look carefully at the prix fixe menu we enjoyed guessing at food pairings to follow after each wine was presented to us. This restaurant has the support of food critics in Paris but not as many locals who prefer very local chefs . It however does draw famous people like Beyonce.
