Peas and love
Among the many look-alike salad bars of the 8th district, here comes a new joint that fills our hearts and stomachs with joy: Twenty Peas. In a shabby chic atmosphere, young chef Thomas Simon offers what we could call comfort food with a twist, a kind of mix between your grandma’s classic recipes and your crazy hippie aunt’s culinary experiments.
The sweet tooth will be delighted with the moist french toast or yummy chocolate cake, while the soul food lovers will fall for the “pot-au-feu” or the hot pie of the day, and we’re pretty sure that the organic-addict fashionistas won’t resist the impeccably seasoned soy, radish and apple or butternut and almond salads. And if the feel-good vibe that imbues the room takes you all the way to the aperitif, the wine selection by La Contre Etiquette team will accompany perfectly a (cute) plate of cheese. So when it feels like home but tastes better, we just ask for more.
