Interesting pizza with incredibly slow service: Restaurant Paparazzi (29. June 2022)
What you get at the Paparazzi is an interesting pizza – kind of a long version spread over two plates. Definitely something I have not seen before. To be fair though, the “Pizza Diavola (coulis de tomate, mozzarella, saucisson calabrais)” (EUR 22.00) was actually quite nice in terms of taste. Not comparable to a proper […]
A place to party but not a place to come for the food: Restaurant Mon Paris! (9. March 2022)
What you find at the Mon Paris! is simple but enjoyable. The restaurant is basically divided in two parts – an actual restaurant inside and kind of a bar like area outside. Therefore, the food you get when you sit outside is very limited. However, there are a couple of good things you can enjoy. […]
When you come across ‘Essential Cuisine’ from Michel Bras in two different cities within two days: Restaurant La Halle aux Grains (8. March 2022)
Sometimes you end up coming across the same thing within a short period of time. When I was at the Restaurant Bass in Berlin on Sunday, I had a longer discussion with the chef Bernd Schwarz what actually works in terms of cooking books. And it was interesting to see how he brought up a […]
A decent lounge breakfast: Executive Lounge @ Paris Marriott Opera Ambassador Hotel (25. September 2021)
They had recently renovated the Paris Marriott Opera Ambassador Hotel and it shows. The rooms are actually quite nice and not as tiny as they usually are in Parisian hotels. They have also set up a new executive lounge on the top floor which offers a decent breakfast selection … … and lovely small seating […]
Lovely cocktails in a crammed atmosphere: Experimental Cocktail Club (24. September 2021)
When you enter the Experimental Cocktail Club, you get the feeling that Covid never existed. The place is absolutely crammed. To be fair, they check your certificates when entering, so, not to worry. In any case, the place is buzzing and that makes it relatively tricky for you to order a drink since you cannot […]
Definitely overrated but with a nice view: Restaurant La Terrass @ Terrass Hotel (24. September 2021)
The Restaurant La Terrass offers one thing – which is a nice view over Paris. Other than that, it’s a hyped place. To be fair, the start was nice since they were relatively attentive and brought the drinks quite swiftly. Other than that, the “amuse bouche” was dumplings which were similar to empanadas and they […]
Perfect Italian experience next to the Tour d’Eiffel: Restaurant Chez Pippo (28. June 2020)
When you are close to the Tour d’Eiffel you can find a variety of very touristic restaurants but there are also rather exquisite ones – the Chez Pippo is one of them. It is a relatively small Italian place which offers delicious Italian dishes and all of it with a very friendly and caring service. […]
An amazingly personal and caring dining experience: Restaurant La Petite Rose des Sables (28. June 2020)
The Restaurant La Petite Rose des Sables is a rare find and a place you’d probably not walk into if you did not specifically know it exists. It is a tiny little restaurant run by an elderly lady for more than 30 years now and it is truly unique as she is incredibly friendly, caring, […]
