Paris: Les Enfants Du Marché

Go to the gates of the Marais food market and follow the music to Les Enfants du Marché. Not only is Owner Michael “Mika” Grosman an avid music fan, but his family also owned a legendary celeb hotspot on the French Riviera for years – so trust me, Mika knows how to host a dinner party. Everything they do here is centered around music, good people, and stellar food & wine. Les Enfants is an extraordinary experience, especially on Sunday were anything goes. Where else could you have a talented chef like Shunta Susuki (ex: Maison Sota) cooking this level of gastronomy, Mika pouring natural wines and your table mate could be anyone from a winemaker, pop star or Michelin-star chef while a conga-line is forming behind you?  Before service, early risers will see huge whole St. Jean du Luz tuna, 3-kilo Brittany blue lobsters and baskets of fresh vegetables delivered direct from farmers, fisherman and hunters. Every chef I’ve taken from New Orleans to Sweden has said, “I wish we had a Les Enfants.”
