Les Maquereaux, the iodized table of trendy Tout-Paris

It smells good of the seaside, on the Parisian quays! At Les Maquereaux, no freshwater sailor or admiral of a boat-washhouse, but a crew with a good foot, a good eye and assuredly iodized seafood dishes which, under their names devoid of frills, reveal a succulent mastery of the frying pan and of the siphon. On board, therefore. ◊ The Aquatic Spirit. Discreetly moored on the quay of the Hôtel de Ville, the Maquereaux barge on the one hand sparkles with carefully chosen lights, on the other hand oscillates between raw wood with a Scandinavian mood and metal rather Eiffel. And then there is the view. On the sea, as the boss would say, but the sea is the Seine, and it's not bad at all. The center is occupied by a large table where you can see many groups of friends cheering each other on, while a spinning table runs along the edges of the barge and the Parisian waves. ◊ Successful and plural tasting. Portions are designed to accumulate and accompany each other. Of course (the opposite would have been disappointing), the sea is the real star of the …

Food Alert: Miel Factory invents the honey store

Once again, the Marais stands out as the stronghold of trends, of those that wittily transcribe the spirit of the times. However, unless you live in a cellar (which, after all, is possible) you must have noticed that 1) bees have the coast 2) local products, it rocks. Already two good reasons to run 28 rue de Sévigné to push the mysterious doors of Miel Factory, our favorite of the week. ♦ The observation Let it be said: honey is one of those great foods with which it is in our interest to saturate our plates and other mugs. We will not count its benefits, which are numerous, but we will content ourselves with citing its antibacterial, antitussive, anti-insomnia, anti-(bad) cholesterol, antioxidant virtues… in other words, it is worth the detour. Opening a fully dedicated shop makes good sense, especially when you become aware of the almost infinite varieties, tastes and origins of the precious nectar… ⇒ Tasting Is plural. There are honeys for all tastes, …

Immersed in a world that beautiful minds are already tearing away. ◊ The spirit The places are imbued with the majesty of the Italy of yesteryear, its dark and worked furniture, its refined and warm luxury... for good reason: the genesis of the NOTO is to be found on the side of the Cheetah of Lampedusa, superbly adapted by Visconti to the cinema. Remember, Burt Lancaster as a magnificent feline, Alain Delon insolent with youth, Claudia Cardinale stunningly beautiful… in settings whose magnificence would take the breath away of the most jaded. It's a bit like that, the atmosphere of NOTO, with a (pronounced) Art-Deco touch. Ideal for a romantic dinner with an elegant tone. ◊ Tasting The menu, while it draws its main source of inspiration from Italy, is plural. She's searching …
