Happy Bastille Day! Due to our recent first trip to the City
of Lights, we’re particularly excited about this French celebration. This day
gives us the perfect excuse to enjoy homemade tartines avec jambon de Paris, crispy pommes frites and delicious fresh
toast. Sounds like a plan?
Paris was the 3rd stop of #A25DayJourney and we
had so much fun eating our way through the city, trying all the classics,
stopping by the local markets and figuring out how to do it all in about 48
hours! For the sake of #ThroughBackThursday, here are some of our favorite
Parisian eats!
Start the day with a
proper omelette. Café du Marche on Rue Cler makes a killer omelette with oozing
cheese and local ham. Not only is it to die for, but the venue is located in a
well-known street market. It’s a fun place to people watch as they do their
morning shopping.
Hit the deli for some
veggies! Stewed, marinated, roasted. However they’re prepared, they are
delicious. Get a side of beans, artichokes or sweet onions to enjoy with a warm
baguette, good cheese and a glass of wine. Davoli has a great selection of
veggies, as well as delicious spreads, cold cuts and cheese.
A little chilly outside? Time
for lè French
onion soup. Not everybody does it right. Your best bet is to ask the
locals around and they will send you where you need to go. We got lucky with
Café Chappe in Montmartre. While you’re there, they also make a killer chicken quiche!
Enjoy a classic boeuf
bourguignon for dinner. After all the walking and food sampling, we were
ready for a rustic comforting meal. Boeuf bourguignon was just it. The
traditional French dish has its roots in the Burgundy region and is slowly
braised in a full-bodied burgundy wine. La Boheme du Tertre, also in
Montmartre, makes an excellent one.
There’s always room
for macaroons! There are so many sweet options in Paris: chocolate
croissants, crepes, tartins, eclairs, canelés, madeleines… The list is
ridiculous. Sometimes you’re so full from your amazing meals that it’s almost
impossible to try them all. But the classic macaroom is perfectly light. Before
you know it, you’ve had 10! Biscuiterie de Montmartre has both classic and
whimsical flavors.
