For Valentine’s Day, going to a restaurant can be a good gift idea. But living this experience at home, with a menu prepared with small onions by the casserole specialists can also be an exceptional present.
With the various confinements, the chefs have considerably improved their take-out offer. All that remains is to set the table.
Cicero by Julia Sedefdjian
From her brand new Cicéron boutique, which puts chickpeas in the spotlight, the young chef Julia Sedefdjian has prepared a small basket ideal for spending an evening that smells of Provence. You will find a selection of spreads, an assortment of ten panisses, socca chips, a duck breast for two arancini, polenta and sweet potato, two chocolate crumble mousses for dessert, and a bottle of wine.
70€ for 2 people (Order to take away on 01 83 87 07 36 or delivery on Epicery.com)
Cicero, 8, rue de Poissy, Paris 5th
Mom by Stephanie Le Quellec
To bring out the big game, head to MAM by the brilliant Stéphanie Le Quellec. Its shop (caterer, pastry shop, delicatessen to take away) offers a menu for two that will sparkle. We start with a Mam’s Cosmo cocktail with a truffle croque. This is followed by a small series of amuse-bouche (raw salmon and caviar grains, royal duck foie gras or even golden scallops and coconut-lime nage), a Wellington beef tenderloin with truffle juice or a bass papillote with truffle butter. And finally, a “pure love” entremet: crispy caramelized almonds, soft almonds and light mousse.
€195 for the full menu for 2 people (available from Friday February 11 to Monday February 14, withdrawn from MAM or on delivery, to be ordered on the site)

Filly of Amandine Chaignot
Valentine’s Day marks the great return of Amandine Chaignot’s love pie with its potatoes and truffle Comté. She is part of a well-filled basket to pick up on site, in her restaurant Pouliche (Paris, 10th). In addition to this very beautiful piece to share, there will be three “saddle sessions” and a lovers’ dessert.
€120 per basket for 2 people, to be ordered on the website
Filly, 11 rue d’Enghien, Paris 10th
