Explore Paris: Diverse Culinary Delights Across Arrondissements
Above: Mushroom tarte at Pristine > People who do not accept the new, grow old very quickly.” A Guide to Modern Cookery, Auguste Escoffier, 1907 We’re already old. We arrived at this stage in but the blink of an eye and certainly have no desire to accelerate the aging process. This is the excuse I offer for not sticking to French food in France. My hero chefs are those unafraid to pluck ingredients and fuse ideas from many cultures. The evolutionary development of European cuisine as a whole has been speeding along ever since those first traders sailed eastward to discover an explosion of spices and westward to find revolutionary crops – such as tomatoes and cacao. This alphabetical list of restaurants is not about onion soup, quiche or croque-monsieurs; although nothing is wrong with ordering those standards. To get things rolling A, is for Assanabel Saint-Germain des Pres (6th Arrondissement; another branch in the 10th District). Members of the Charaf family opened their first restaurant outside of Lebanon in the 1970s, and that Emirates restaurant began racking up international awards. Family-run, but chef-driven, not mom-and-pop style. Assanabel’s hummus is a soft cloud of chickpea puree with an abundance of fresh lemon and parsley encircling a pool of rich sesame oil. Mezzes galore and numerous types of fritters beckon, but there’s a limit on how much you can consume in one meal. We opted for kebbe krass – cracked wheat hulls stuffed with minced meat, walnuts and pine nuts. Our mixed grill featured skewers of grilled lamb, chicken and kafta, minced meat. A lot of meat after the plump kebbe. The star of the show, a dish I would happily order over and over again, was the house specialty, fattete Assanabel. The English translation on the menu describes this simply as eggplant, bread, yogurt and meat. Yawn. Don’t be fooled, it is absolutely luscious. The only way I could describe it adequately is to show you the complexities of its preparation via Assanabel’s own Instagram post. Above: Assanabel Saint-Germain des Pres Not on a main street or adjacent to any tourist attraction, Binchotan (14th Arrondissement) must rely on word of mouth. With its turntable spinning 1970s’ classics, the casualness of this charcoal grill does not reflect its unexpected treatment of seasonal ingredients. Tahini verde and miso aioli zigzagged across juicy, plump asparagus. Grilled shitake mushrooms were amazing. An emulsion of coconut milk, ginger and cucumber enhanced perfectly cooked salmon, and a yellow garlic and mild chile sauce topped a Vietnamese-style shrimp dish. Again, wish we could have tried more. Above: Binchotan The first time we visited Blueberry Maki Bar (6th Arrondissement) we were seated with only a few other couples in the handsome inner dining room; when we returned for a more extended family lunch with seven, wisely, we were seated in the crowded, casual front room. It’s hard to tamp down the exuberance of a group exchanging tastes of everything. I always enjoy the comfort of a cup of miso as an amuse-bouche but never have I tasted any as flavorful as Blueberry’s buckwheat broth – so good one person in our group ordered an entire bowl after tasting it. I’ve never found the sweetness or texture of tamagoyaki, or Japanese omelettes, appealing, but Blueberry’s crab version paired on a salad plate with sashimi changed my opinion. The geisha, sort of a thin crispy pancake, was topped with a taramasalata sauce, tuna sliced so thinly as to be sheer and bottarga, crumbles of dried fish roe creating a balance of both delicate and intense bursts of flavor. Whether sashimi, nigiri or chirashi, the freshness of the seafood shimmers in the photos below. The plate with the egg crowned with golden caviar pearls is a lunchtime version of omakasa, served as a sampler platter instead of in courses. The male teens at our table each polished off one, pronouncing it their favorite meal in Paris. Above: Blueberry Maki Bar The Lebanese flatbread pictured below is manakish, and it always attracts a line of people outside the door of Chez le Libonais (6th Arrondissement). We joined them one night but took ours to-go instead of eating on the street. We opted for a fish one to share and recommend grabbing one sometime if you are ambling about the Left Bank neighborhood. Above: Chez le Libonais We had read somewhere that Dalmata (11th Arrondissement) turned out a worth-the-hike, Neapolitan-style pizza. The review was true. A green salad with roasted vegetables followed by affogatos for dessert contributed to the pleasurable experience. Above: Dalmata In need of a Peruvian fix, we found El Picaflor (5th Arrondissement) near the Jardin des Plantes. We started off with a pair of Pisco sours and a nice ceviche. Parihuela is a traditional seafood soup with a rich fish broth. The showpiece was a searing hot platter of caramelized grilled octopus, as delicious as it looks. Above: El Picaflor Upon reading La Maison du Jardin (6th Arrondissement) has changed ownership since our visit in June, I considered not mentioning it. But the “bistronomic” restaurant near the Luxembourg Gardens is now family-run, which is appealing. Plus, the daurade fish with a cream curry sauce and our favorite dish both remain on the menu. Golden, delicate pastry-enrobed lamb perched atop grilled eggplant for a work-of-art take on a pastilla. Above: La Maison du Jardin There’s a lot of confusion about L’Alchimiste (12th Arrondissement) on the internet. Tripadvisor categorizes it as a Mexican restaurant, but the only thing Mexican about it that we noticed was the pottery. The vibe is neighborhood funkiness, and it’s a great lunch stop when exploring the Promenade Plantee Rene-Dumont, a three-mile elevated linear park built atop an obsolete railway. The daily “formule” printed on a large blackboard evidenced frequent changes. A pastry “brick” encompasses a filet of cod, sprinkled with blue cheese atop a bed black wild rice and a red pepper puree. Continuing on a jag of distinctive pastillas, the alchemist lurking in the kitchen concocted one filled with duck confit, pistachios, dates and honey atop a traditional French potato gratin dauphinois. Somehow all this category-defying fusion works. For dessert, an apple tarte was topped with a nut crumble and surrounded by a milky caramel sauce. Our other dessert selected featured apples roasted and colored by black currents with a dark chocolate and violet liqueur sauce. Above: L’Alchimiste I must confess that Le Carre Elysee (8th Arrondissement) does not fit the profile of restaurants I usually like. Located off the Champs-Elysees with white-aproned waiters and populated with suits at lunch and tourists for dinner – so Right-Banksy. Yet the food proved delicious, with perfectly efficient service and a menu stocked with French classics ideal for introducing our family guests to Paris. Multiple kinds of freshly shucked oysters, including the pictured Utah Beach No. 2s, were luscious. Eggplant stuffed with ratatouille and rice could be the pride of almost any vegetarian restaurant. I’m not sure where the rest of the asparagus went, but a plateful of fresh tips was a pleasure to polish off. Salmon was paired with a layer of robust red pesto, and duck set aflame made an ooh-la-la impression. Above: Le Carre Elysee The focus at Le Mary Celeste (3rd Arrondissement) appears to be on small plates to go with craft cocktails and “winegrowers’ wines” offered until the wee hours of the night. Grilled asparagus (I assume you’ve gathered asparagus were in their prime season while we were there.) were tender, and sea bream aguachile was refreshing. The lackluster shrimp toast was left unfinished. Above: Le Mary Celeste > ‘In life you have to use your gifts,’ said my father.
