Nanashi, Paris

 

I love rich, heavy, filling food. The French kitchen is one of my favorites but after spending a while in France I sometimes have enough of the cheese, butter and cream. That’s when I go to Nanashi, the perfect place to find a hint of Japan in Paris. The bento box in Japan can be compared to the bread bin we know in Holland but way healthier and always good looking with Japanese perfection. The ones they serve at Nanashi are carefully prepared and well balanced with lots of vegetables and cereals instead of white rice. Next to the bento boxes they serve other light and healthy dishes. The spring rolls with chicken are my personal favorite but don’t miss the black sesame panna cotta with maple sirup for dessert!

There are more Nanashi locations in Paris but these photos were shot at the one in the Marais.

Paris.. I was 14 when I visited this beautiful city for the first time on a school trip. My classmates were bored while our French teacher guided us through the streets of Paris, telling us something about every building, every statue, every sidewalk tile. When we entered Le Jardin du Luxembourg and passed the Fontaine Médicis I fell in love. The calmness and peacefulness I felt when I saw a girl sitting there on a bench reading her book made me want to live there instantly. I wanted to be her. I try to go to Paris at least 3 times a year now and every time I’m there I visit this same parc to read my book.
