I was in Paris in January - job wise. I like Paris but I'm really not lucky when it comes to restaurants. I usually work late and don't have time ( and am to tired ) to go to one of the "must go" restaurants where you need to book days in advance. So I try smaller places with not much success. The food french restaurants serve seems so outdated and always way to heavy. Since I go twice a year I would be very grateful for some tips.
But I love the french products, my suitcase is always stuffed with cheese, sweets ( finally made my way to Pierre Herme) and Wine.
This time I finally made it to Dehillerin again. Since years I'm dreaming of a iron pan like nigel slater uses it - I always new Dehillerin is the place to buy one but I did not find time. So after certainly more than 6 years it just blew my mind again this is just THE shop for cooks. Love it!
The family run business exists since 1820. They stock everything a cook needs.
