Walks of a Parisian

A luxurious guide that lists the most iconic and sometimes the most secret gastronomic addresses in Paris. Text in English, French and Chinese. The most luxurious of Parisian gastronomic guides, the most exclusive. The most timeless: with the QR code accompanying each review, the book becomes eternal and is permanently updated. Albert Nahmias knows his business well (and that of others). A star restaurateur in the 90s with Olympe, the happy few flocked to his table. From the art of hosting, he moved to the other side of the counter to cultivate the art of being hosted, and now he delivers his judgments. Whether they are favourites or criticisms, it’s an elegant and incredibly useful book. Like a gourmet and travelling Ulysses returning to his Ithaca rich in sensory and gustatory images, Paris becomes an odyssey-city that constantly attracts poets and ambitious individuals… Its chefs are also poets. In Paris, the true gourmet is a traveller from elsewhere who comes to taste its charms; like Ulysses, one simply needs to choose a neighbourhood, a welcoming restaurant according to their mood, age, or fortune… This guide gives meaning to daily urban wandering, in the labyrinth of over a thousand establishments. No one knows them all. So many dives, bistros, and restaurants for a people of Parisian navigators for whom it’s a bit of a secret sport. Less so now. Text in English, French and Chinese.
