The sun is back. Which means longer days, shorter tempers, fuller terraces, and rosé slowly replacing water in my bloodstream. Daylight savings hit, and suddenly my mood — and appetite — are thriving again.
This guide ? A careful mix of long-time affairs and new flings I’m already emotionally invested in.
1.
@passager_cafe the ultimate NYC-style bagel : bacon, cream cheese, cheddar. Followed by a shared pain perdu that borders on inappropriate pleasure. Yes, you’ll queue. Yes, it’s worth it. Yes, best brunch in Paris, I said what I said.
3.4.5.
@lecornichon.paris because what is a food guide without it. Same drill : best fries in Paris (beef fat, obviously), garlic rigatoni, and a €3 egg because… why not. Tried desserts for once : exceptional. Went back for dinner the same day. No regrets.

@cavecanaille terrace at 4:30pm, slightly drunk by 5. Completely acceptable. My favorite spot is back, and so am I.

@services_continu x
@alice.malaret loved discovering Alice’s work around butcher’s gestures. A thoughtful collab in a space I still adore.
8.
@legoncourt in my beloved 11th. Small plates, good wines, easy vibe. A bit pricey, but still worth it.

@patine.bistrot two steps from home. €22 lunch, €50 dinner. Refined, precise, genuinely impressive.
12.13.
@acidlacticparis long-fermented dough, bold toppings (asparagus, anchovies). Surprisingly perfect. €20 each, shared feast.

15.
@f.o.l.d.e.r.o.l olive oil ice cream + vanilla. Weekend, completed.
16.
@residence_kann scandinavian breakfast by Canal Saint-Martin. Missed it. Still worth it.
17.
@jjhings 45 min queue, questionable life choices, but incredibly good.
18.19.
@terrasshotel lobster pasta : divine. Paris-Montmartre dessert : life-altering.
20.
@holyburek_paris good, not mind-blowing. €8 for meat burek feels… ambitious. Thanks
