WE LIKE | A La Petite Marquise’s Brioche – Paris 15

In English, the quote of Marie Antoinette is often translated as “Let them eat cake!” because no American pastry comes close to the French brioche. You can find the beloved brioche in every bakery in Paris. To be correct, brioche is viennoiserie, meaning it falls into the same category as croissant, danish, and beignet. We [...]

LE VIOLON D’INGRES | Paris 07

WE LIKE | Popelini – Paris 03

The first time I heard about Popelini, the first thing that came to my mind was to say the only Italian composers I knew were Verdi and Rossini. But Popelini is nothing less than a little shop located rue Vieille du Temple in Paris which exclusively makes choux à la creme. It might sound crazy [...]
