Chez Michel with Nina

It's good to be back in Paris. Hadn't seen Nina since her last trip to Menton in July, so decided to meet up for a delicious dinner tonight. Going off on a recommendation by David Lebovitz, Nina accompanied me to dinner at Chez Michel - a bistro serving traditional cuisine from Bretagne. (Nina's favorite region of France is Bretagne - but I have yet to visit. We both love cuisine Bretonne.)

I ordered special Bretonne biscuits stuffed with Morue (salted cod).


Nina ordered this for her entrée - daurade


They ran out of cochon de lait, but I still opted for the tête de cochon (pig head) as a replacement. Lots of fat, some meat. Really rich and hearty.


Nina got the Bretonne version of the bouillabaisse.


Of course, we both ordered the Kouign-Amman. Caramelized sugar, butter, layers of brioche... what more could a girl ask for ?


We also tried the demi-sel Brittany butter - I had a picture of it but it is lost now =(. Really delicious. We both really enjoyed our dinner here. Everything was well-cooked and perfectly seasoned. Highly recommended.
