7 places for Saint-Germain in Paris, picked by creators — with what they said.
- Kodawari Ramen (Yokochō) — Jeremy Jacobowitz, Louis, Malo Halna
Said the sardine bone broth was intensely rich and umami-packed without any fishy taste, and the noodles — made with wheat from Champagne's own fields — had excellent chew.
Heads up: Popular ingredients like the sardine fillet can sell out, and the classic tonkotsu-style broth is served at a different location. - Joséphine Chez Dumonet — Mark Wiens, Messinger Guides
The pigeon layered with thin sheets of potato was his number-one bite of the entire 24-hour tour, the bœuf bourguignon — beef cheek braised for 18 hours — was "one of the best beef stews of my life," and the soufflé, as big as his head, was "the best ever." He also praised the chef and the service as warm and full of good humor.
Heads up: Reservations are required and it's expensive at €265 for three; the mille-feuille is made to order on the spot, so you need to order it in advance. - La Jacobine — Locavore Eats
The French onion soup had a crisp cheese crust over deep, rich broth, the duck confit shone without any sauce, the wine-forward coq au vin was a highlight, and the thick, velvety hot chocolate may be the best in Paris.
Heads up: The salmon and the pork tenderloin in mustard sauce were only just okay, and the mille-feuille is hard to eat neatly. - Roger La Grenouille — Locavore Eats
The fried frog was crisp and tasted a bit like chicken wings, and the signature frog in parsley butter and the cheese-laden French onion soup were both excellent.
Heads up: It specializes in frog, so it may not suit anyone who won't eat it (though they note the non-frog dishes are excellent too). - Chez Fernand — Locavore Eats
The foie gras with cider jelly was smooth and rich enough to spread on bread, and the comforting food and unpretentious atmosphere made for a lovely meal.
Heads up: They note that foie gras can be controversial on animal welfare grounds. - Le Bon Marché — 허니문리조트
Introduced as the most famous department store, the one the French are proudest of.
Heads up: About a 5-minute drive from Hôtel Sax. - Brasserie Lipp — Les Frenchies
The duck confit is braised so slowly and for so long that the fat renders away while the meat stays moist and falls right off the bone. The pavlova gets a nod for its crisp meringue base.
