I Miss U all my Blog

Have you been to Dalloyau, a quite traditional Parisien insititution?

The Dalloyau family has been making gateaux, ice creams and bread for over 200 years for French royalty. I went to Luxembourg branch at 2, place Edmond-Rostand 75006

I got The Works!

*Have you noticed how the French like to drink their OJ through a straw...

Exquisite jams too. You go upstairs for petit dejeuner at Dalloyau.

There's something about a messy table...

Do take a look at Dalloyau's splendid dessert catalog.

Some Dalloyau factoids: They have 97 cooks, 100 pastry cooks, chocolate makers and confectioners, 4 ice-cream makers and 4 bakers. In a year they make 55 tons of macarons, break 1,300,000 eggs, bake 1,500,000 Viennoiseries, and create 50 tons of chocolate candies !

You often ask me about Paris restaurants...

Since I mostly exist on breakfast, pastry and salads in Paris...

I thought you might like to check out the restaurant recommendations of David Lebovitz, who not only lives in Paris full time. He actually eats dinner.

I have eaten lunch at one of David's favs, Christian Constant's Les Cocottes, 135, rue Saint-Dominique, 7th and if was formidable.

BONJOUR LUNDI PB readers!
