The Mermaid by Giulio Aristide Sartorio 1893

Paris – Last time for this time

January 15, 2016 – Paris, Voyage

It is our last evening in our beautiful apartment and our last day in Paris. We are curled up on our big deep sofa with the soft warm flutter of the candle lit room letting the sparkle of the Eiffel tower outside our window steal the show. My palate has been teased and tantalised by Incredible flavours and textures. The visual stimulation; from the enormity of elegantly, eclectically, colourfully designed spaces to the tiniest details on the plates […]

Restaurant Jérémie – Paris

January 11, 2016 – Europe, Gourmet Casual, Paris

Today was such a funny day, we started really well with what we thought were clear intentions, but the universe, as usual, led us to where we were meant to be . Dressed immaculately for our luncheon booking at Le Salle a Manger. Where we planned to experience the unique style of chef Helene Darroze, 2015 best female chef of the year. We left early looking forward to a nice long walk through Paris before lunch. One of the […]

Bistroy Les Papilles – Paris

January 8, 2016 – Europe, Gourmet Casual, Paris, Review

A lovely long walk today through street of Paris through le Jardin du Luxembourg, builds our appetites for our bistro style lunch at Bistroy Les Papilles. When we walk through the door it is very clear we are in the heart of the Latin Quarter. Bistroy Les Papilles décor is an interesting mix of classic French elements juxtaposed with bright Latin colours. The mosaic tile floor is a kaleidoscope of bright colours, yellow, red, blue, green and orange. A large bold […]

Restaurant A.T – One of the most creative tables in Paris

January 7, 2016 – Europe, Gault Millau 3 Toques, Paris, Top Restaurants

Restaurant A.T is our destination today. We walked past it after Alliance yesterday, the window causing us to stop and peer in, modern and fresh, a departure from the classic Parisian. The space here is simple and contemporary, a soft white space, splashed with small details of colour and texture. Wall art of timber strips splashed with streaks of pastel colours and a modern mural on one wall; black textured sweeps of paint that flash across the wall and ceiling. […]

Restaurant Alliance – Paris

January 6, 2016 – Europe, Gault Millau 3 Toques, Michelin 1-star, Paris, Review, Top Restaurants

Our wonderful waiter at David Toutain recommends that we must try Restaurant Alliance , a new place across the other side of town that good friends are just getting going. So of course that’s where we are off to today. After a lovely walk along the Seine we head into the 5th to find it. It’s clear from the smell of fresh carpet and a super pristine interior that it is indeed very new. The fit out at Alliance is gorgeous, […]

Restaurant David Toutain – Paris

January 5, 2016 – Europe, Gault Millau 4 Toques, Michelin 1-star, Paris, Review, Top Restaurants

Well today was supposed to be a simple little bistro day, we had planned for a later lunch and were indulging in a slow morning enjoying our gorgeous apartment and watching the soft morning light change over Paris. But then everything changed, the phone rang, Restaurant David Toutain where the wait for a table is known to be very long, miraculously has a place for us if we can arrive by twelve……in half an hour! Five minutes later we were […]

Chez Julien – Paris

January 3, 2016 – Europe, Gourmet Casual, Paris, Review

On a beautiful crisp winters morning, we set off for Chez Julien, along the Seine, Paris. We’re wrapped up just like the chap from Aerosmith with 17 scarves each. We’ve cocooned ourselves from the winter chill, it’s the kind of chill that startles you and reminds you you’re alive, for now, but maybe not for long. We meandered through the 16th arrondissement, down the Champs through the 8th to the 9th where we decided to take a peek inside […]

Miss Kō - Futuristic asian street place right in the centre of Paris.

Miss Kō – Paris

January 2, 2016 – Europe, Gourmet Casual, Paris, Review

Im not catholic but the idea of a guilt free lunch was appealing, so we decided to exercise ourselves around the 16th arrondissement of Paris prior to lunch at Miss KŌ. The 16th arrondissement can be compared to the Upper East Side of New York and is home to members of Parisian high society. The atmosphere is of old money combined with classic Parisian splendour tinged with the wiff of “you should have worked a bit harder.” We swing […]

L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon Etoile – Paris

January 1, 2016 – Europe, Gault Millau 3 Toques, Michelin 1-star, Paris, Review, Top Restaurants

A change in style today, forget the historical Paris of days gone by, we are dining in the Paris of today. Everything about L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon Etoile is very modern, for a start it is located inside a drugstore. The Publicis Drugstore is on the Champs Élysées, at the Arc de Triomphe end. This is no pharmaceutical store, my eyes are wide with wonder as my love leads me into a fascinating eclectic mix of bookstore, gift shop, […]
