Paris Eats

Posted by Ed Levine, February 20, 2006 at 1:09 PM

My brother Mike just got back from a long weekend in Paris (lucky him) and because he is as obsessed with food as I am, he immediately called us to tell me about two great meals he had. Le Severo is a tiny bistro that specializes in great aged Limousin beef, saucisson and frites. Those are all the major Levine food groups in one meal. Need I say more? Perhaps to counteract the effects of all the aforementioned animal fat he and his wife Carol also went to a really simple fish restaurant, Cagouille. He found both restaurants on Patricia Wells' website. Wells is the restaurant critic at the International Tribune and a terrific cookbook writer. Her Food Lover's Guide to Paris was one of the inspirations for my own New York Eats. The website is quite comprehensive when it comes to restaurants in Paris (both casual and formal), but what I miss on the website are her write-ups of bakeries and chocolatiers, which to me made her book truly swing. Otherwise the site is a superb resource and reference for Paris food.
