"Meilleur eclair de Paris!"…read more Even if I don't speak French, I do speak eclair. So, I didn't need any help translating the "Best eclair of Paris!". See, I have a particular set of skills (like Liam Neeson); skills I have acquired over many years. Skills that make me fat & happy. Skills that find eclairs. It's not like Maison Pradier is hard to discover. It was founded in 1859 as Maison Rollet (just a few steps from the French National Assembly) and has been a legendary rendezvous of Paris gourmands ever since. In 1987, it was renamed Maison Rollet-Pradier and in 1999 Jean-Marie Desfontaines (cousin of Louis Ernest Ladurée and the grandson of macaron creator Pierre Desfontaines) took over. Today, its reputation remains among the top of Parisian pastry elite. Which is where I came in ... to try the House Pradier chocolate eclair selected by Le Figaro as "Meilleur Eclair au Chocolat de Paris." The eclair was divine chocolate heaven !!!! If you find a better eclair in Paris, you might actually have died and are already in nirvana. I have two other strong recommendations for Maison Pradier: * Macarons ... colorful French magic * Religieuse au Chocolat ... awarded "Meilleure Religieuse au Chocolat de Paris" by Le Figaroscope You can also enjoy the restaurant upstairs for a lunch or get a savory meal tray to go. I didn't have time for those because I came to Rollet Pradier for one reason and one eclair only.

There is a little menu on the counter explaining your choices. Even without the deal, you can get a hot panini for 5 to 8 euros, which is not as low priced as the streetside vendors, but still inexpensive for a hearty, hot lunch at a sit down cafe. The bread and pastries that I tried were also excellent. I brought some macarons home to friends in the US, and even the next day, after a dry, ten hour flight, the cookies were magnifique. There are a few cute tables outside, made extra pretty with artificial orchids and bright green chairs. I watched one of the bakery staff wipe the tables down and arrange each chair just so, creating a welcoming vignette. Unfortunately, there wasn't that much of a welcome from the humans at the shop. Normally, I would not have returned and possibly would walk out without buying anything from a place where I felt so unwanted. Because my French is almost nonexistent, and because everyone has bad days, I persevered. The day that I stopped by for lunch, the salesgirl was totally wonderful, and worked very hard to help me get my lunch. She was really sweet and wasn't angry at my pidgin French. On another day, buying the macarons turned into an ordeal of epic proportions, where I thought the salesperson might throw the cookies at me. Whoever got the ones she put back in the case got a taste of hate, I'm afraid. One other salesperson at the shop, though not actively hostile, seemed to be utterly disdainful, and to prefer not having me as a customer. Perhaps I disturbed his contemplation of the meaning of life, the origin of the universe, or some other lofty intellectual pursuit. The others turned to him for help translating, and he was quite capable when he spoke a few words to me, but he was the coldest to me of all the staff. The cafe is right down the street from where I was staying, on a street lined with interesting shops, and there is no other combination bakery + lunch cafe in the vicinity. The quality of the baked goods was undeniable. They are an award winning bakery (imagine the competition!), with multiple locations (just ask Google and YouTube). The low star rating is due to the general unpleasantness of being a customer.

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!

We sat outside for brunch on a beautiful day. We started with drinks - cappuccino and (finally! Oat milk!) lattes, as well as hot chocolate. Everything was sublime and so damn pretty, too. We each got something different so we could try a variety - scrambled eggs for mom, baked eggs with goat cheese and mushrooms, and Toulouse sausage. Omg delicious! The sausage was so flavorful, the potato was a mess of cheese and butter and incredibly amazingly good, the poached eggs were perfect, and the tomatoes were super flavorful. Everyone else enjoyed their meals too, and the bites of their meals were superb as well. So do so good!!
