Feeling blessed to have experienced so many bakeries in the neighborhood and yet this is my favorite. I'll be back tomorrow for more ... nicely done!!

    I attended Le Cordon Bleu (Grand Diplôme program) for 9 months with the hope of learning the…read morefundamentals of cooking, as I had no prior experience. Unfortunately, LCB does not cater to beginners, despite their claims that no experience is required. That simply isn't true!! Classes moved at a relentless pace, leaving little room for actual instruction! Instead of focusing on techniques, we were always rushed and then told what we did wrong. This led to injuries, mistakes, and a lot of unnecessary frustration. If you're new to cooking, this environment is more overwhelming than educational. It became clear that LCB is designed for those who want to work in high-pressure restaurant kitchens. But in my class of 16, only four students had that goal (and most classes had this same ratio). The rest of us were there to learn for personal enrichment, to open a restaurant/ café one day, or to explore culinary arts more deeply. Unfortunately, the program doesn't seem to acknowledge or support those paths. My disappointment isn't with the instructors--(shout out to Chef Caals, Chef Yann, and Chef Hoel), who were excellent given the constraints they were under. The issue lies in the LCB system itself! The program feels more like a factory line (taking your money) than a school, pushing students through their machine, rather than investing in their growth! For the cost and prestige, I expected much more. Le Cordon Bleu needs to rethink how it supports students who are genuinely there to learn, not just to survive the next service rush.

    What a great experience at Le Foodist. This was booked for us through "My Private Paris", as a…read moremorning market tour and cooking class for lunch. Luc was our guide and chef, and did a really great job. We enjoyed shopping for ingredients at the market just a few blocks away from the Le Foodist kitchen. Once back to the kitchen, Luc gave us the run down of what we would be making. Instructions were clear, and we all worked together to put a 3 course lunch together. I even learned a few cool new techniques such as a simple "sous vide" by tightly wrapping chicken in plastic wrap and cooking in hot water. Fun, educational and delicious. They offer a variety of different classes and I would highly recommend when visiting Paris.

The fish are all labeled as to where caught & manner caught. La Fromagerie was amazing. We took the metro and a short walk to Le Foodist store where the cooking magic happened. We made onion soup, potatoes so gratin, something similar to a Coq au Vin, a pear with chocolate ganache and vanilla bean ice cream. It was an amazing evening. The cooking class was definitely a working class. The whole time & totally worth it. The food was so good. The chef was awesome. Would definitely recommend this experience & would definitely do it again.

    I am hesitant to write reviews in English on some of the spots we discovered in Paris via French…read moreYelp, but this store should not remain a secret. Paris definitely does not have a craft beer culture. This is a real shame because there are many wonderful beers produced in France. But you would be hard pressed to find 95% of them in bars in Paris, even bars known for having good beer. One of your only options is going to Cave a Bulles and buying individual bottles of French beer. If Simon is not busy, you can easily chat with him for an hour about beer. He will help you choose a good variety of beers to bring home, ones that you are probably not going to find in the US. His English is excellent. And If you really want to make a friend, bring him a rare beer from the US (or elsewhere).

    If you want an amazing selection of beer and you are in Paris, this needs to be your first stop…read more Actually, considering Simon is so helpful and just a pleasure to deal with, this should be your only stop. I showed up 15-20 minutes before closing, and I wish I had gone in sooner. Simon loves what he does and it's evident. My 2 biggest regrets were not bringing him a bottle from back home and not having a checked bag to bring the loads of Cantillon (that I wish I had bought) back to where I was staying in Nice. La Cave a Bulles will certainly be a staple for me whenever I visit Paris.
