But what Emperor Norton is doing would be precarious if it wasn't so well executed. Paris is not known for Brunch, but one must start somewhere, and while many look at purveyors of new concepts as daring or risky, sometimes someone is just prescient, and dialed into trends. I think Emperor Norton saw a need, and beat the curve on a new trend. It will give them the time needed to improve upon their excellent skills and menu. I imagine they will only end up more in demand, and likely move to a bigger spot in the future. As I understand, the kitchen is not the most expansive or efficient. Any other reviewers problems might be due, in large part, to their restrictions with the setup. Coutume cafe should be happy to have them as long as possible. Emperor Norton evolves traditional breakfast fare, by adding subtle touches to some egg dishes, while creating absolutely foreign concepts for the city - like a breakfast burrito, or scrambled eggs and salsa on chips, etc. It's wonderful to enter a place and be completely surprised by the menu - it was unexpected, and completely refreshing. It was a welcome change from the traditional fare... and a marked departure from the carboloaded breakfast we are used to. This is by no means a pretentious fine dining experience - this is a modern take on CA Fresh Mexican diner morning food. They are producing tastes that are not uncommon to some of the best breakfast joints throughout the west coast of the US. The food is exceptional, the coffee is EPIC (see previous Coutume review), and it's something we can't wait to return to... not just to eat again, but to see how they grow and evolve. This is the start of something very rare, fun, exceptional in Paris, and I can't wait to see how these innovators lead the way.

I've had the pleasure of tasting Emperor Norton's goods on several occassions and each occassion…read morewas something unusual for Paris (e.g. Mexican, California street food, Hawaiian, etc) First, the food simply tastes really great. But, they're also bringing something different to the table with creative ideas and unusual fare (for Paris). Some people stand out for simply being different. Others for being good. Emperor Norton manages to do both. My impression is that they seem to have a solid grasp on an overall concept of what they want to do and work within that to provide tasty food that's unique without being gimmecky. I've also worked directly with them for an event (and attended an event where they were involved) and from that standpoint, they are professional and easy to work with. They came up with just the right appetizer for our event - edible cobblestones - which was inline with the theme of the evening.

Marina is the best!…read more I was a little nervous about planning a destination wedding in Paris from the USA, but after emailing and talking with Marina she put me at ease. She is a perfect communicator, responds very quickly and has the patience of a saint. She provided us with a budget/timeline spreadsheets which puts a person who has OCD (me) at ease. Another reviewer mentioned "she doesn't overwhelm you with everything that needs to be done all at once. She lets you know the deadlines for decisions as they come up. She is constantly working with all of the vendors behind the scenes so you don't have to worry about it." This is totally accurate and actually made the planning process enjoyable. Marina coordinated every detail of our wedding from venue locations, musicians, menus, makeup artist, flowers, photographer, videographer, transfer of guests, you name it! Everything she recommended turned out beautifully. She has great taste! On the day of the wedding she was there to help organize everyone and make sure everything flowed. I can honestly say I experienced no stress on the day of the wedding. The wedding was so magical! Merci Marina!

Marina helped me plan my wedding from the US, and was nothing short of amazing!…read more It's pretty scary to have never seen your venue or met your photographer prior to your wedding, but every vendor that Marina recommended to us, from the photographer, hair & makeup artist, florist, and caterer to the venue were incredibly high quality. Marina was incredibly patient with my many questions and specific requests. Our wedding was at a chateau about an hour outside of Paris. The day of the wedding, there was pouring rain all day. Marina was able to adapt and move everything inside the chateau, and it turned out beautifully. My hair ended up getting ruined from the rain when taking photos outside before the ceremony, and I was incredibly upset. Marina sprung into action, was able to find a small hair salon 10 minutes for the chateau and quickly drove me over to have my hair redone before the ceremony. I would have been so disappointed had my hair have looked bad for the entire wedding, and Marina's ability to quickly come up with a solution to the problem saved my wedding day. I can't recommend Marina enough. If you want someone who listens to what you want, knows the best vendors, and can solve any problem that comes up, Marina is the planner for you!

We stopped by this place because it has various authentic French small bites, sausages, meat loaves, seafood salad etc. I ordered the Salmon bites, octopus salad, mini French cream puffs (??) not sure what they called in English but they are super good. Too bad we are leaving tomorrow but I will definitely come back to this area when I come visit in the future. The business hour is from 9 am sharp to 7 pm sharp. Not a min late or early.

We each got the combo platter that allowed us to try multiple meats and sides, and I have to say that I was extremely impressed with the meat. Especially the brisket, a particular favorite of mine when it comes to BBQ. The mac and cheese was a solid side, but the coleslaw was underwhelming. As Americans, yes, we expect large portions. I've been to Europe often enough to manage those expectations pretty well, so I was also pleased when we each reached a comfortable stopping point and were able to get takeaway boxes for our leftovers. I know it's traditionally trés gauche to take leftovers from French restaurants, but I was happy to see that the trend is catching on. After all, not wasting food is a good thing, is it not? We carried those leftovers all the way to Amsterdam the next day--that's how much we wanted to finish them. We opted to sit in the terrace seating that has a suspended plank for a table so that we could people watch Rue St. Denis, a busy street in this arrondissement. It's in a great neighborhood that was vibrant and full of life, even in the wake of the pandemic. I'd definitely recommend this to anyone who would like to try good Texas style BBQ in the middle of Paris.

Since we are from Texas we had low expectations but we were wrong. Freddy's BBQ Serves excellent BBQ THAT WOULD COMPETE WITH ANY IN Texas Or Tennessee! The brisket was perfectly smoked, tender and juicy! The pulled pork was fantastic and the ribs were solid! We had all the sides and loved them The two pitmasters are trained and from Texas and Oklahoma So you know they know what real BBQ is!
