New products, addresses, and concepts not to be missed to awaken your curiosity
This month, curiosity is fed by discoveries in Paris. The food scene is blooming with new and unexpected concepts. The Japanese sando, conceived by Matsuri and Homer Lobster and then twisted by Moise Sfez, becomes a reference for those who love to explore new flavors. Another striking example: the collagen macaron, resulting from a collaboration between Ladurée, Holidermie, and the expertise of Julien Alvarez, reinvents the pastry repertoire.
On the savory side, The French Bastards launches its borekas, pastries inspired by Turkish traditions, while Charles Neyer offers an exclusive burger at Junk. If you step into P’tit Boulevard in Châtelet, expect XXL crepes, hearty pizzas, and comforting milkshakes. In Levallois-Perret, Jeffrey Cagnes shakes up the traditional croissant at his monthly gathering.
On the sweet side, the “bab-cookie” born from the collaboration between Puffy and Babka Zana as part of The 65 Project is as intriguing as it is delightful. The flan pop-up by Maxence Barbot at Bristol Paris reveals five original recipes. Agatto hosts a mochi-cookie by Marine Zerbib. Pistachio lovers are not forgotten: at Maison de la Pistache, ice creams, pralines, and chocolates showcase the fruit in all its forms.
The season is marked by significant events: the gourmet pastry fair orchestrated by Patiss’Art, the Japanese street food festival at the Matsuri du Parc Floral, and the opening of Central Chapelle at La Chapelle Arena, a unique venue where culture and cuisine intersect.
Tips and inspirations to integrate these novelties into your daily table
Imagination is abundant on the culinary scene. To infuse a touch of novelty into a family meal or a lunch with friends, draw inspiration from the ideas of Matsuri, Ladurée, or Puffy. The Japanese sando, reimagined by Moise Sfez for Matsuri, easily adapts to home cooking: choose a soft brioche, add seasonal vegetables, a protein of your choice, and a well-seasoned sauce. Practical and elegant, this format energizes lunch breaks.
On the pastry side, bold creations open new perspectives. The collagen macaron by Julien Alvarez for Ladurée fits perfectly into a brunch or as a sweet treat. Favor natural ingredients, experiment with unique combinations of fruits and spices, and dare to play with textures. For dessert, offer the bab-cookie created by Puffy and Babka Zana: a hybrid pastry, perfect at the end of a meal or to accompany a coffee.
For a convivial dinner, take inspiration from the savory borekas, these Turkish-inspired pastries reinterpreted by The French Bastards. Their crispy dough and fragrant filling, such as spinach, cheese, or fresh herbs, cater to all cravings. End on a sweet note: the ice creams from Maison de la Pistache or the mochi-cookie from Marine Zerbib, exclusively at Agatto, will bring a light and original touch.
Here are some concrete ideas to embrace these trends in your daily life:
- Adapt seasonal recipes by highlighting local fruits, vegetables, and products.
- Encourage sharing moments with dishes to enjoy together: XXL crepes, generous pizzas, or original flans offered by Maxence Barbot.
- Participate in workshops or markets, like those of Jeffrey Cagnes or Lili & Clo, to expand your culinary palette and discover new techniques.
This month, indulgence knows no bounds. The table becomes a playground for experimentation, where every bite tells the story of a culinary scene in constant effervescence.
