West Palm Beachers can now travel to the streets of Paris without ever leaving Florida thanks to the recent opening of Maman. French for “mother,” Maman lauched its first location in New York City in 2014. Since then, it has expanded to markets in the Northeast, Canada, and South Florida, pleasing patrons with its all-day menu dotted with dishes to suit both healthy inclinations and more devilish desires.
Located in CityPlace, the West Palm café features the same Provençal aesthetic for which Maman has become social media famous, complete with imported French antiques as well as abundant blue and white tiles. That color scheme carries over to the dishware, with patterns that vary from one piece to the next, resulting in an eclectic “I found this at the world’s chicest secondhand shop” vibe. A sense of South Florida comes through in the greenery installations by Floratorium, while the outdoor patio will make you feel as if you are dining at a sidewalk café in the heart of Paris.
The menu at the CityPlace café has such Maman favorites as quiche, smashed avocado tartine, and Caitlin’s Farro Salad (topped with herbed feta, a runny egg, and a smoky cocoa hot sauce), plus drinks like the très refreshing guava mint lemonade and a luscious lavender and honey latte, to name a few. It also boasts location-specific offerings like Catalina’s Veggie Sandwich, a light and spicy layering of grilled halloumi, zucchini, avocado, and jalapeño, celery, and cilantro salad on seeded sourdough. Regardless of when you stop by, you must indulge in a pastry or dessert, such as an always-available pain au chocolat or a seasonal treat like the lime and cilantro sugar cookie.
