Parisian French Cuisine | Did I just have a meal at an elf’s house? 🫣

(I’m back from my disappearance, long time no see! 🥹) . Taking advantage of the Christmas holidays, I’m here to recommend a niche and spirited Michelin-starred French cuisine in Paris. . Hidden in the 16th arrondissement, the one-Michelin-starred Substance Paris is truly a surprise with its low-key approach. .🌿 It was only after the meal that I learned the chef, Matthias Marc, was a former semi-finalist on Top Chef, with a whopping 115K followers on Instagram. This guy is like a semi-celebrity chef in France (I hesitate to call him an influencer, because the food is genuinely tasteful and not flashy). .🌿 Beyond the delicious flavors, what’s even more surprising is the design of the plating. Drawing inspiration from nature, it connects with the beauty of the natural world, making each bite feel like you’re inhaling a bit of nature’s vitality and spirit. 🌿 . At the end of the meal, the restaurant gifts you with a menu of the dishes you’ve tasted as a keepsake (sort of like a memo? Haha) – such a thoughtful touch. .
