"Aptly named chef Thierry Breton's Breton-inspired cooking is reliably delicious, with dishes like kig ha farz (a stew of pork and veal served with buckwheat stuffing), great game in season, and one of the best Paris-Brest pastries (a ring of choux pastry filled with hazelnut cream) in town."
"A decadent choux pastry filled with praline and coffee cream reminding us all of good times spent at Chez Michel (10 Rue de Belzunce, 75010 Paris), one of our favourite bistrots in Paris, where they make the best Paris-Brest in the world."
"Signature dishes include fish soup, pork rillettes, roasted John Dory, and Paris-Brest (a choux pastry filled with hazelnut cream)."
"The Paris-Brest by Chez Michel, sprinkled with caramelized walnuts, is a king of desserts."
"Steps from the Gare du Nord, talented young chef Thierry Breton also does a modern take on a regional kitchen—that of Brittany—at Chez Michel, with delicious, hearty dishes like tuna steak with coriander and tabouleh, roast John Dory with potato puree, and a terrific Paris-Brest (choux pastry filled with hazelnut cream)."
"No need to beat around the bush: the unbeatable Chez Michel Paris-Brest, sprinkled with caramelized walnuts, is the king of the map."
"Every dish we had – including the false “back of bass” – was skillfully done, it was very, very good food, the desserts (a magnificent Paris-Brest, for instance) were equally brilliant."
"It is extremely well done, melting and light. It's beautiful, it's even sexy."
