Enjoy carefully reimagined Californian classics at Cali Sisters
Nestled between two lively streets in the 2nd arrondissement, Cali Sisters is not your typical American restaurant. Say goodbye to greasy burgers, overly sweet desserts, and outdated decor: in this bohemian setting, under a candlelit glass ceiling, you'll rediscover California's typical dishes with a Cali twist. Start with the crispy parmesan tapioca cubes with truffle, flavorful and indulgent, before diving into the mouthwatering Wagyu rump steak. Fish lovers can choose the grilled miso-honey salmon, which is perfectly balanced and delightful. Last piece of advice for those with a sweet tooth: don't miss the "pizookie", a dessert that, as its name suggests, is a fantastic mix between a cookie and a pizza, topped with melting chocolate and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Soft and extremely generous, it's one of our favorites!This is the best year, hands down.
