Les Papilles Description:
In the middle of the Latin Quarter, Les Papilles is a restaurant, wine cellar and delicatessen. The patron, Bertrand Bluy - former pastry chef at Taillevent - insists that it's more of a restaurant than a wine bar, probably because of the unique menu that changes every day. As one would expect, the desserts strike a high note here.
This wine bar and bistro in the 5th arrondissement serves flavorful fare with a heavy Southern accent. The superb Provençale soupe aïgo is alone worth a visit. This simple concoction of lightly sautéed diced potatoes, orange zest and garlic is seasoned with saffron, cooked in milk and served with crispy croutons, black olive tapenade, chives, red pepper and diced candied orange---a delicacy! A large selection of well-priced wines, especially from the southwest of France, is chosen with care. Be sure to reserve in advance as tables in this sought-after spot are limited. Prix-fixe menu at €28,50.
