Incredible Foods
I've always thought that British cheese is underrated in France in the same way that Canada is underrated in the United States: few people give much thought to its existence.
The beet has shed its humble reputation in France to become the darling of Paris chefs.
When you happen to be one of the finest chocolatiers in France, the temptation to nibble is great.
Tokyo-trained Sadaharu Aoki makes a vanilla millefeuille that's as good as this classic pastry gets. But what sets him apart is his green tea, black sesame and red bean variations on French cakes.
The perfect restaurant
"Rosa
I thought I'd drop you a quick e-mail to thank you for your restaurant recommendation. The entire experience at Flora was excellent. Just as you said, it was like being entertained in someone's apartment. The service couldn't be faulted, and the food was superb. I'm having difficulty in deciding which of the eight courses I enjoyed the most! However, we both managed to polish everything off before we made our way (very slowly) back to the hotel! I wouldn't hesitate to use your service again, or to visit Flora on our next visit to Paris."
