pate in Paris

4 places for pate in Paris, picked by creators — with what they said.

Bistrot Paul Bert — Mark Wiens, Les Frenchies
He called the pepper sauce "one of the best sauces for meat I've ever had in my life," and singled out the meltingly tender filet steak, the freshly fried potatoes that arrived still radiating heat, and an intensely fragrant morel-and-egg dish as the highlights.
Heads up: He went with a noon reservation — booking is required, and at €203.50 for three people, it's on the pricey side.
Sétopa — 비밀이야 bimirya
Praised the osso jjim as better than Korean braised beef short ribs, said the seafood sundubu was the dish everyone kept reaching for, and raved that the chicken stays juicy thanks to French poultry and cooking technique. Called the 15-euro set menu and 19-euro cold platter a great value given Paris's Korean food prices.
Heads up: Said it's fully booked with two seatings a night, so reservations seem essential; noted there's no Korean-language menu, the chicken doesn't come with pickled radish, and there aren't many spicy options.
Le P'tit Canon — Lucile
The house-made duck confit is so tender the meat slips off the bone, the potatoes are cooked in duck fat, and the kitchen does Toulouse-region cooking properly, from cheese-laced aligot to Toulouse sausage.
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.
