Opéra in Paris

3 places for Opéra in Paris, picked by creators — with what they said.

Aki Boulangerie — Jeremy Jacobowitz, Bappa Life
Said the braided pastry with matcha, red bean, and chestnut cream had delicate butter flavor and just the right touch of sweetness at the finish — called it 'my kind of pastry.'
Heads up: Said the egg sandwich had too much mustard, overpowering everything, was unevenly distributed, and the crust stuck to the bread, which was disappointing.
Harry's New York Bar — TOPJAW
There's evidence the Bloody Mary, French 75 and Sidecar were all invented here, and the bar counter — dismantled in New York in 1910 and shipped over — is still in place, along with back-bar bottles that survived World War II.
Heads up: Hot dogs are the only food on offer, and it's very touristy — about half the crowd is American.
KOYA — Jeremy Jacobowitz
Said the daily-changing bento box was the most comforting and satisfying meal, and the miso sesame chocolate chunk cookie had a perfect balance of sweet, bitter, and salty.
Heads up: Unlike its sister restaurants, they could walk in without a reservation, but the lunch bento starts at noon and the selection changes daily.
