Dessance, Paris’ first gastronomic dessert bar, opened quietly about 4 weeks ago.  I say “quietly” because until very recently, I could barely find any information about it on the internet.  Curious, I dropped by on a Saturday afternoon with Lindsay to find out what it’s about.

The two-floor space consists of a bar+open kitchen on the right as you enter, and about ten tables on the left and up on the mezzanine.

Right behind the bar is pastry chef Christophe Boucher, previously at Ledoyen (three Michelin stars) and Le Grand Véfour (two Michelin stars).
