TAMPA - Anoushka Marty, a French Canadian who spent years in Paris, has been craving a real baguette since she moved to Zephyrhills. Her eyes lit up when she stepped into the new Cafe Parisien.

'Someone who knows a good baguette knows a good baguette,' she said as she bit into a slice of the crusty loaf.

The verdict? Très bien.

Owner Mo Adi knows all about the love for French bread and pastries. His Hunter's Green family keeps an apartment on the Champs Elysees. Now, the family is bringing its passion for French food to New Tampa. The Adis opened Cafe Parisien this month at 10861 Cross Creek Blvd.

Adi and his father took pains to make the cafe as close to authentic as possible by importing European restaurant equipment. They recruited executive chef Pavel Hasenohrl, who trained in Europe, to run the restaurant.

The menu also includes a variety of soups, salads, sandwiches and crepes.
