Traditional French bistro food: Restaurant Café Sud | Français Bistronomique (11. July 2022)
The Café Sud was a selection by someone in the group and, to be honest, not something I would probably have walked into from the outside. But it actually turned out to be quite nice in terms of location, in terms of service, and in terms of food. Okay, to be fair, one had to […]
A very regular Marriott breakfast for the masses: Restaurant Espace Latitude @ Le Méridien Étoile (11. July 2022)
What you get at the Espace Latitude is a decent breakfast selection, ranging from pastry … … to a variety of jams and fresh honey … … vegetables and fruit … … and more salad-like vegetables … … cold cuts, cheese, and fish … … as well as a nice selection of cereals. The place […]
A really pretentious place with surprisingly good dishes: Restaurant Buddha Bar (10. July 2022)
I have been to the Buddha Bar in Dubai and Kiev and despite the fact that it’s a rather pretentious place, I like it since the food is overall quite tasty. I went for the “edamame” (EUR 7.50) as a starter, which is always nice. The “assortment of steamed dumplings (beef, lime chicken, shrimp, vegetables)” […]
Lovely Middle Eastern cuisine in a shopping mall: Restaurant Maison Noura @ Printemps Haussmann (10. July 2022)
When I was looking for a place which was open on Sunday for lunch and had a good rating in the vicinity of where I was, I found the Maison Noura with a 4.8 on Google. I was hyped, but a bit surprised after all to find out that the restaurant was located in a […]
A great forest-like patio: Bar 8 @ Mandarin Oriental (9. July 2022)
The Bar 8 at the Mandarin Oriental is quite amazing! I would absolutely recommend you to book a table outside for a pre-dinner or after-dinner drink. It is like a small patio in the woods, which is quite enjoyable in terms of atmosphere and very charming in its setup. The only issue is if you […]
Newly opened in a breathtaking location but truly hyped: Restaurant Mimosa (9. July 2022)
The Mimosa restaurant had just opened and is located in the courtyard of the former Marine Ministry building – and it’s actually quite nice in terms of decoration and design. What isn’t too nice is the fact that the service is totally not up to the task, and more than half of them are constantly […]
A lovely local French bistro: Restaurant Le Hibou (8. July 2022)
I ended up in the Le Hibou since it was a local favourite of friends – and I must say, it’s quite nice. A simple French bistro with a good selection of tasty dishes. We went for the “guacamole maison, chips de mais” (EUR 14.50) which was quite nice. Frankly, I’m not too big a […]
A nice place for breakfast when you get to sit outside: Restaurant Madame Julia (3. July 2022)
It is not easy to find a place which serves breakfast on a Sunday morning without pre-booking a table if you’re a group of six! However, we were lucky since we went early, and we found a spot – and quite a good one. I went for the “toast chicken and cajun (chicken marinated with […]
