“There is a place up there called heaven.
There is a place on earth called Arpège.
And Arpège is my heaven on earth.”
That was what I wrote in my last post of #littlemeg_larpege before covid. But the exact feeling came back to me after 2 visits after two years. It feels so familiar but at the same time details have been changed. Even the plates with Alain’s drawings have added new varieties, and bread had changed shape to baguette form ❤️... More

I felt so good to be back and see Chef Alain, eating his food and eating with him. He is full of energy, I think cooking is what makes him the most energetic. He never stopped smiling and drinking, and even had 5 desserts with us which I had never seen him did in the past. And his energy transferred to the guests. I am sure everyone feels happy to be back or to be there, including the friend I bumped into in one of the visits.
The reunion with chef Alain and also fabulous dining companion 😊 was one of the best experiences in this Europe trip. Food was so heavenly good and vibe was so positive and comforting at the same time. Paris may not be my no.1 dining city anymore, but Arpege will always be my top restaurant to visit in Europe ❤️

Restaurant Arpege 1st visit — it’s been on my list for a long time, finally got to visit and it didn’t disappoint. The restaurant turned vegetarian for a few years, now meat has returned but vegetables are still the focus here. All produce arrive daily from Chef Passard’s own farm, the autumn veggie ravioli and roasted lamb were delicious. The desserts were equally enjoyable as the savory dishes, which was rare for someone who doesn’t have a sweet tooth like me. Highlight was the Vintage... More

Highlight was the Vintage 2017 Comte aged by the famous Bernard Antony, the best Comte ever. •

Amazing Chef and a gentleman.

There is a place up there called heaven.
There is a place on earth called Arpège.
And Arpège is my heaven on earth.

Because every time I come here I felt like I just want to stay there forever. I don’t care about making notes on details because my mind is blown away and not functioning and my head only has “this is so good!”, so I gave up writing notes other than the names of the dishes...

The same feeling just occurred to me again while I was posting these old pics. After 50+ posts for the past few days, I just found myself missing Arpege even more 😫😫😫. I can keep posting for a month and not get bored (but I think you might 😅)

It is the reason why Iook forward to going to Paris, the reason I want to stay longer in Paris, the reason why I do not want to leave Paris.

The flavor combinations are always so inspiring and original, and originality is always very important thing to me. The execution is always so spot on. The dishes brought nature to me, it feels so real and genuine. Never over the top, never try too hard. The aesthetics and artistry of contemporary elegance - only Chef Alain who is not just a magificent chef but also an extraordinary artist can come up with creations at Arpege. People can’t even copy, as it will only be like art forgery.

Most of all, Chef Alain still has so much passion for cooking. Unlike most of the master chefs that are at his level and mainly just in the kitchen to oversee operations (if at all in the kitchen), Chef Alain is still cooking every work day either at the restaurant or at the garden. Just recently after Paris’ lockdown, we talked and I asked how he was. He said “I am ok Margaret. I cook lot in a garden. I feel very good”. This is Alain. Up to these days he still derives the most happiness in cooking. When he saw fresh vegetables at Arpege or the garden, his eyes were beamed with joy, his face turned smiley like a kid.

I love very bit of this place. My heaven on Earth.

I just shared some of my favorite things, moments, and thoughts with you. I hope when I go back (who knows when 😢), I can continue to share again.
