PARIS 6 Miami Restaurant Preview
Paris 6 Miami is a 24-hour bistro concept founded in Brazil by owner Isaac Azar. The first US based Paris 6 opened this month on Miami Beach, just ahead of Art Basel Miami. The dazzling 24-hour bistro serves classic French fare for breakfast, lunch and dinner, 7 days a week.
Paris 6 was inspired by the famous Parisian cafes and bistros, such as Café de Flore found on the 6 Arrondissement in the Saint Germain des Pres Quarter. The focal point of Azar’s new Miami location is the ornate blue and gold bar. Paris 6 Miami’s stunning décor also includes shimming damask-covered walls, sparkling chandeliers, and red tufted banquettes.
Yet most captivating, and fun, are the works of Brazilian artist Flavio Rossi that line the bistro walls. The over-sized portraits of famous artists – including actors to writers, are displayed in caricature style by the magazine illustrator turned painter. Figuring out all their identities becomes a game that entertains every table.
We were invited to PARIS 6 Miami to enjoy the pre-opening dinner menu prepared by Venezuelan born and Spanish trained Chef de Cuisine Atilio Padra.
We excitedly shared three signature dishes starting with Ravoli A L’ Abricot Et Brie. We dove into the sweet and savory bowl of pasta pillows filled with creamy brie and fresh apricot preserves in a luxurious cream sauce.
Next to arrived at the table was Filet de Branzino Grille A La Belle Meuniere. The mild white fish was sautéed in a caper and butter sauce, and topped with shrimp and mushrooms, but a delicious surprise –a richly flavored parsnip puree, was found under the filet.
For our meat course, the Bavette Sauce Gorgonzola. The succulent sirloin steak was topped with a tangy Gorgonzola reduction, and perfectly paired with oven roasted potatoes with cheese.
