Papa d’Amour

NYC’s New Restaurant Openings - New York - The Infatuation

"Dominique Ansel, inventor of the Cronut, is called Papa d’Amour by his children—and that’s the name of his new Greenwich Village bakery, where Asian ingredients and techniques meld with French ones. You might see a bao steamed in the shape of a croissant, filled with egg and tomato for example, or pretzel salt egg tarts, and shokupan sandwiches with fried shrimp patties. Sweet stuff includes “jam jars”: cakes shaped like jars and filled with cremeux, jellies, confits, and ganaches. We visited Papa d’Amour and added it to the Hit List." - will hartman, willa moore, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah, bryan kim
