Elmer

30 rue Notre Dame de Nazareth, 75003
When my household landed in Paris final summer season, the primary day appeared to stretch for per week as adrenaline slowly misplaced the battle to jet lag. Understanding we’d be consuming dinner at Elmer cushioned the thud. The fashionable-but-not-austere bistro is on a quiet road within the northern finish of the Marais, simply off the Canal Saint-Martin. The dishes are gentle, exact, and really feel utterly unique. Compositions of crudo tightly nestled in wafer-thin pastry shells, a savory seasonal fruit salad plated geometrically like a tart; completely shingled slivers of faux-filet steak, alongside creamy eggplant slices. The desserts are wonderful, too. The vanilla hazelnut praline tart for 2 pieced collectively the frayed ends of our drained nerves and set our inner clocks ticking in direction of the precise time zone. —Chris Morocco, meals director
