追奥运赛事，尝巴黎大餐
The Games of the XXXIII Olympiad descend on the City of Light, Paris. While more than 10,000 athletes will be burning competition levels of calories, millions of other visitors will be piling them on, everywhere from humble bakeries to Michelin-starred restaurants. Next I will tell you where to eat in Paris during the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
Le Tout-Paris
Le Tout-Paris is a one-Michelin-star spot with killer views over the city and a menu to justify the trip to France. The restaurant’s terrace (露天平台), seven floors above the Seine and the 16th century Pont Neuf, affords views over Île de la Cité, a nearly, but not yet reopened Notre Dame, and the thin spire of its underrated neighbour, Sainte-Chapelle.
Chez Paul
Although not quite that old, Chez Paul has been in business, without much having changed, since 1900. Menu mainstays in this busy dining room include eggs mayonnaise and countryside terrine with Basque peppers followed by classics such as veal head and brain in sauce gribiche, or lamb shoulder cooked for eight hours, accompanied by some of the best fried potatoes you’ll ever eat.
Benoit
Benoit is a local landmark (地标), although a relative newcomer, having only opened in 1912. Back then, a butcher by the name of Benoit Matray, who worked at nearby Les Halles – a huge food market and yes, the name adopted by the New York eatery helmed by the late Anthony Bourdain – opened the restaurant. Benoit stayed in the family for generations, until Alain Ducasse – whose restaurants hold an astonishing 21 Michelin stars among them – bought it in 2005. Ducasse has not only sustained Benoit ever since, but also opened namesake (同名物) restaurants in Tokyo and New York.
Marsan
Marsan is a two-Michelin-star restaurant by chef Hélène Darroze. Darroze’s cuisine understandably reflects her home terroir, meaning duck and foie gras loom large, but her desserts are often singled out by diners as the real highlight. With creations such as a smoked chocolate hazelnut cream with chocolate sorbet and vanilla hazelnut praline, we can see why.
