Quite average breakfast selection for an Autograph Collection Hotel: Restaurant La Grande Georgette @ La Caserne Chanzy Hôtel & Spa (26. September 2021)
The breakfast selection at the La Grande Georgette is relatively limited. You get a bit of everything like bread, cold cuts, cheeses as well as cereals and a small bacon and egg station but that’s really it. Also, there is not really anyone taking care of your orders in terms of tea or coffee so […]
A truly outdated Michelin star: Restaurant Le Foch (25. September 2021)
Since the tour de Champagne somehow offers you the opportunity to try a variety of different champagnes, it was time to balance off the whole thing with a decent meal. Therefore, it was time for a Michelin star at the Restaurant Le Foch. I went for the “menu degustacion” (EUR 110.00) which started with 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 […]
Absolutely amazing breakfast location – a bit below my expectations: Hôtel des Berges (23. August 2020)
I had high expectations for the breakfast at the Hôtel des Berges as it was supposed to be quite unique and I must say that my expectations were not entirely met. Of course, the place itself is nice but when you’re seated there at the little terrace and not in the middle of the garden, […]

Not sure why they still have 2 Michelin stars: Restaurant Auberge de l’Ill [Haeberlin] (22. August 2020)
I was looking forward to this special experience as the Auberge de l’Ill really sounded like a unique place with amazing dishes. And I must say, the place itself is incredible. Perfectly located right next to a little river with a huge and beautiful garden – there is really nothing you potentially could be missing. […]
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. […]
