About this spot
Nestled in Saint-Gilles, Café des Spores delivers earthy, mushroom-forward dishes that define the neighborhood's culinary soul. Start with the caramelized chicory and eireingii paired with blue cheese from Causses, then move to the glazed meatballs with shiitake mushrooms and bonito flakes for a savory punch. The menu even features an orange cake infused with mastiha and a sorbet bowl with mirabello plum that feels like a secret garden in a glass.
đĄ Tips before you go
- Ask for the cheese selection add-on to taste the soft Pecorino with black truffle and peach chutney alongside your main course.
- Order the salmon with white miso and roasted portobello mushroom if you want a lighter option that still packs umami flavor.
- Save room for the cheesecake with dried cep mushrooms, as the salted butter caramel pairs perfectly with the savory notes.
