Something Curated

“Walking into familiar territory here means stepping into a dining room that serves sweetbreads with mash, capers, and a jus to die for, followed by what I genuinely believe is the best crème brûlée in the city.” — Marcin Krol

“Despite its name, Minibar packs a serious punch. It’s one of my favourite hangouts in the city. A place where a gorgeous wine list meets chef Matt’s cooking” — Marcin Krol

“An absolute Belleville classic and my favorite Chinese restaurant in the city. Conveniently situated right in front of Liquiderie Bar, you can purchase wine there and take advantage of La Maison Pourpe’s brilliant corkage policy” — Marcin Krol

“Deeply unapologetic and truly one of a kind. If Le Duc is Beethoven, then Cendrillon is the Sex Pistols. The food is deliciously dirty in the best possible way” — Marcin Krol

“An icon and a gem, Le Duc represents Parisian fish cookery at its most refined. It’s the place I send out-of-towners who want to understand what a real, old-school Paris institution feels like” — Marcin Krol

“Dare I say it: my favourite restaurant in the world. There are restaurants you admire, and then there are restaurants you care about. Mokonuts is firmly the latter.” — Marcin Krol
