Paris Fashion Week took place from September 27th to October 5th. Two-thirds of the 97 participating brands held physical shows or presentations, marking a full-scale restart. Over the course of nine days, fashion industry insiders ran around the streets of Paris, moving from venue to venue multiple times a day. It was so busy they barely had time to enjoy a meal, which may be a happy cry for those back in the swing of things. But you can't fight on an empty stomach... We introduce bakeries and restaurants visited by fashion industry insiders between shows, as well as some of the latest trending foods!
Treat the hottest bread between shows. Bakery "Liberte"

Feeling tired, I stopped by the bakery "Liberte" between shows. To refuel with something sweet, I ordered the trendy "babka." In France, where there's a wide variety of baguettes, croissants, and other breads, many bakeries are selling this "babka." This Jewish bread, commonly sold in Eastern Europe, is apparently becoming increasingly popular in trendsetting cities like Paris, London, and New York.

"Babka" refers to a loaf-like roll filled with a sweet chocolate-flavored paste. Variations such as those containing cinnamon or nuts, or those using pistachio cream instead of chocolate, are appearing one after another.

This classic French bread is made with chocolate and is characterized by having more chocolate than pain au chocolat, making it particularly popular among those with a sweet tooth. Liberté, which also has a store in Kichijoji, Tokyo, also seems to offer babka, which uses red bean paste, a type of bread unique to Japan.

Le Pont Traversé, a cafe that opened this spring near the Tuileries Garden in the 6th arrondissement, offers vegetarian dishes made with fresh organic vegetables. Takeout sandwiches and falafel are available, and you can enjoy grilled salmon and daily quiches inside the cafe.

This is a small aperitif where Parisians drop in to buy smoothies and coffee beans. The reason for its popularity is the historic exterior and interior details, which have been preserved in the original building that served as a bookstore for centuries.

The Parisian Art Deco-style exterior is sure to look great in photos. The coffee, brewed with carefully selected beans, is also popular, and you can enjoy iced coffee, which is rare in Paris, as well as the healthy and popular matcha latte.

The restaurant Amagat has become increasingly popular since the pandemic. Located on the outskirts of Paris's 20th arrondissement, it features a spacious terrace and casual interior at the end of a narrow back alley, making it a popular hideaway restaurant. Facing a lush, tree-lined courtyard, it's also popular for its ability to make you feel like you're dining in a rural restaurant surrounded by nature, even while in Paris.

The menu features tapas-style Catalan cuisine. Guests can enjoy Barcelona-style tapas that bring out the full flavor of the ingredients, such as grilled fresh tomatoes with garlic and olive oil, Iberian ham croquettes, spicy tortillas, and large roasted shrimp.

Orders are written on a slip of paper and handed in, just like at a Spanish tapas bar, and there is a wide selection of natural wines from Spain. This restaurant has become a popular spot for people in the industry as a place to enjoy a quick and delicious meal even during the hectic hours of fashion week.
