in paris, france (july’24)

continuing onto my (last) european summer post graduation, landed into paris just before the olympics. one of my favourites here has to be this small bistro around falguière, serving some of the heartiest and delicious french classics. not a long menu, but pretty much can’t go wrong with anything you order here but i do recommend trying their signatures.

i love their langoustines and morel mushroom starter, stuffed with a rich liver and sausage mince mixture. for mains, i highly recommend their ‘pigeon mille-feuille’, layers of thinly sliced nicely pink pigeon breast within fried potato roses before finished with two grilled legs. their beef bourignon is also the best rendition i’ve tried so far, comes with some slightly soggy and butter coated pasta but good enough to soak up all the sauce with the spoon cut tender beef. their duck confit is also one of my favourites here, they nail the balance of crispy skin and tender meat. portions sizes could also be halved on most dishes so you can max out on ordering just like we do every time.

their desserts here are very un-asian friendly as it feels like they use the whole pack of sugar for each dessert, but can’t fault their techniques as they make an amazing airy souffle. mille-feuille and apple tart are also very very good, even if you bring it home to have it the next day. highly recommended bistro that i genuinely enjoy over any fine-dining in paris, a must stop for me every trip.
