So even after all this time in France there's still the American in me that thinks stores are open all the time. This has lead to a lot of disappointment as it did today when I shelped all the way across town to pick up the best Paris baguette 2014 only to find the bakery closed on Wednesday.
To console myself I decided to check out a restaurant called Le Soufflé. I love dessert soufflés but for some reason you don't find them often on Parisian menus. Le Soufflé specializes in them so I thought I'd give it a try even if the place had some signs of being a tourist trap.
Sure enough when I got there were no French customers, only tourists. I passed on the menu (soufflé for appetizer, main dish, and dessert seemed a bit much) and opted instead for their signature savory soufflé inspired by Henri IV (perhaps because it is he that is known to say "a chicken in every pot"? - the soufflé was served with a creamy chicken and mushroom sauce).
I of course had to end with a dessert soufflé: Soufflé crème brulé with a white chocolate interior.
Both were not bad but not great either, giving me further excuse to eat my way through Paris some more.
