Café Des Ministères Review - 7th Arr. - Paris - The Infatuation
"This place looks like a boutique hotel lobby, with glossy black furnishings, a monochrome statement wall, and romantic corners to hide in. It's the perfect cozy setting to dust off old-school French classics and season them with some 7th arrondissement refinement. Golden towers of flaky puff pastry vol au vent are generously filled with veal sweetbreads simmered in cream, but not before they're lined with a sautéed spinach base to keep the pastry crisp. (That's the whole point of vegetables, right?). Innards aside, the menu also features a delicious egg-mayo and some of the prettiest in-shell scallops ever. Sip a digestif from the drinks cart or an espresso before a walk along the Seine a few steps away." - Emily Monaco
