Le Moulin de la Vierge — Restaurant in Paris

Gorgeous little cafe which offers delicious pastries alongside a range of traditional breads. They also serve simple hot sandwiches or salads alongside hot or cold drinks for an eat in lunch.

Seating area is small but considering you are a stone’s throw from the Eiffel Tower it is a fantastic find.

We had a panini and hot dog - the latter was served with the cheese sauce topping from croque monsieur, delicious.

I hope they can find a place where they work happily at in...

I personally make homemade sourdough breads, and so was excited to try their seige bread - pain sur leven. It was the most expensive bread I bought during my trip in Paris (2.90 euro), but unfortunately also by far the worst - dense, flavourless, and poor/chewy/sticky texture in the core.

Other reviewers seem to praise their pastries and sandwiches, so perhaps sourdough breads simply aren't their focus, but for the price and renown, I expected a certain standard.
