La robe de la Girafe sur Paris

23/03/2024: Florina is one of those hidden addresses that deserve to be better known. The chef of Spanish origin is very friendly. He also convinced his friend to open a small shop selling Spanish products right next door (I recommend you take a look there). But its cuisine is French, even if it sometimes includes touches of Spanish inspiration, like the (delicious!) Iberian ham croquettes with their side of smoked paprika mousseline. The chef likes to discuss his cuisine as much as he does wines, and he knows his stuff: for example, I tasted a very good Romanian white wine there, and a number of lovely French finds. But above all, the chef is so talented! I've been there more than ten times (I've stopped counting), and I've always had a great time. The dishes are elaborate, tasty, balanced. Even the diced bread is delicious. Every time I say the same thing to myself: why aren't there more people in this room, it's so good! Perhaps the location in the middle of Boulevard Port-Royal, or the decor, has something to do with it. The room is cute but nothing more. But it's nice to be able to see the chef and his sous chef working behind a glass roof located in the room. Allow around 50 Euros for starter/main course/dessert and a glass of wine. One of my favorite bistronomic restaurants, a wonderful little place to know! Whims - bistronomic Also on Instagram @restowhim
