Unusual: a Parisian chef offers dishes created in modeling clay by children

Have you ever imagined what your dishes would taste like if your clay creations were cooked for real? Of course, we're not talking about eating the dough itself, but rather imagining what ingredients, textures, herbs or spices would make the dish so flavorful. At the French Coco restaurant in the 15th arrondissement, chef Cyril Davroux will be doing just that for the whole month of September, from August 30, 2023, and we're not done being surprised!

What's on the menu? Discover the surprising"Boulets de canon" starter, with its sweet-and-sour tartlet of fresh fruit balls, mozzarella, avocado, arugula and bresaola. For the main course, you'll find generous spaghetti from the garden, with a lovely portion of spaghetti with homemade green pesto, accompanied by its little sundried tomatoes, stracciatella and pine nuts. Finally, for dessert - and this is perhaps the dish that most reminds us of the texture of modeling clay - discover the red berry and pistachio layer cake. With its different-colored sponge cakes (due to the natural dyes used), it's a real Proust's madeleine, and while it's a far cry from the taste of Playdoh modeling clay, the dessert's superimposed layers are a nod to the latter! The price is €25 for a starter-main course or main course-dessert menu, and €31 for a three-course meal.

For the duration of the event, thechildren's area of the French Coco is getting a makeover, with a new decor in the colors of the famous play dough brand, and free play dough workshops every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday for children to try their hand at making the different dishes on the creative menu they can taste!

To discover this unusual animation offered at the restaurant and allow your children to take part in a modeling clay workshop, head to French Coco every Wednesday, Saturday and Sunday, until September 24, 2023!
