The Taste Of Rue Paul Bert, With Jeffrey Iverson
Sunday 20 November – 12:30 – 13:30 EST
Veteran Paris writer Jeffrey T Iverson takes us on tour of a savoury street where the spirit of the French Revolution lives on. In the heart of Faubourg-Saint-Antoine, a neighbourhood whose residents once stormed the Bastille, Rue Paul Bert is a gastronomic enclave of 21st-century cheesemongers, wine merchants, bakeries, and other remarkable food shops, all centred around one deliciously defiant culinary institution – Le Bistrot Paul Bert, a restaurant that critic François Simon calls a ‘rebellion that runs on salted butter’.
