L' Éphémère Alesia — Restaurant in Paris

I recently had the pleasure of dining here, a charming French restaurant that delivered an unforgettable culinary experience. From the moment I walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, reminiscent of a cozy Parisian bistro. The highlight of my meal was undoubtedly the dessert.

I chose the Crème Brûlée, which was executed to perfection. The caramelized sugar crust was flawlessly crisp, giving way to a rich, creamy custard beneath. Each spoonful was a delightful balance of sweetness and texture, making it the best I’ve ever tasted. My dining companion opted for the Tarte Tatin, which was equally impressive. The caramelized apples were tender and flavorful, sitting atop a buttery, flaky pastry that practically melted in your mouth.

The attention to detail and authenticity in the desserts were evident, showcasing the skill and passion of the pastry chef.

I returned here daily, and never regretted a single thing I ate. Make sure to try the...

Has just been refurbished. I have been there twice this week and now will not be going back... They do a very impressive looking cappuccino but their croissants were raw in the middle, and after being served the second raw croissant we opted for a tartine instead. Second visit, it took over half an hour for us to get served, we had to ask the server to come take our order. When we tried to pay, again the waiter wouldn't come to take our payment, he was too busy and it was a big inconvenience for him, no thank you or anything. Very very...
