Ina Garten shares food recommendations from her Paris trip
No surprise, most of the content Garten shared from her Parisian trip was of the fabulous food. From pastries, to fresh produce, the Barefoot Contessa sampled it all, and let her Instagram followers know what they had to taste for themselves.
She kicked off the social media posts with a photo of her husband Jeffrey sitting at a cafe table.
“OMG back in Paris after 2 1/2 years in a rabbit hole!” Garten wrote. “Granted, it wasn’t a terrible rabbit hole but when you can’t safely leave home, anywhere starts to feel a little claustrophobic. It’s so good to be here and everyone is so happy! First stop, a glass of rosé and some chips at Café de Flores. For the next two weeks, I’ll take you to some of my favorite places. Stay tuned.”
She quickly made good on that promise, posting pictures of her food and recommending restaurants. “Lunch of Champions??” Garten captioned a shot of one of her delicious meals. “Salad with warm goat cheese and frites.”
She also shared a picture of a famous French dessert: crème brûlée. Under a photo of the dessert, Garten wrote, “I love the charcuterie @maison_verot from the crème brûlée to house made pâtés, salamis, and … snails?? All delicious!”

She captioned another photo of beautiful purple flowers, “Week two — time for fresh flowers but there are so many choices @adriennemflowers !! But my philosophy here is the same as at home — simpler is better.”
