A lovely day in the Marais!
After my shopping spree I settled down for a coffee and thought hey, I wonder what my old pal Patricia Wells would recommend near here. So I pulled up her "Food Lover's Guide to Paris" app (it has GPS mapping so you can look up recommendations on an interactive map).
Lo and behold, Patsy recommends a tiny shop called Comme a Lisbonne that was just a block away and that serves authentic Portuguese "Pasteis de Nata" - custard-filled puff pastry tarts - to eat there (well, maybe - there are only 2 tables!) or to go. They were a mere 2 euros each, so a couple of them came home with me. SPECTACULAR - crispy, flakey, unctuous, sweet, rich, deep, silky, comforting - all in two bites! Here's the one I haven't eaten yet. This is all they sell other than some Portuguese specialty mustards, honeys, preserves, etc., and they make them all day long so they're always fresh. Now I want to go back and buy them by the dozen and throw a big party. Wanna come?
