Great drinks in a lovely garden setting: Cellier Belle Epoque @ Perrier-Jouët (26. September 2021)
When you’re in the Champagne, you definitely have to make sure to try different champagnes and that’s exactly what we did. The “Hypernature (Perrier-Jouët Grand Brut, Monkey 47, pulpe rhubarbe, menthe)” (EUR 12.00) is a champagne based drink and one, I must say, I truly enjoyed. The drink is refreshing and light but still provides […]
A typical French bistro experience – in all senses: Restaurant Café le Progrès (26. September 2021)
A typical French bistro experience is what you get at the Café le Progrès – very simple interior design, not really a lot of space since the tables are super close to each other and there are quite a few tables crammed together, and swift but not really friendly service. That’s a typical French bistro […]
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A truly outdated Michelin star: Restaurant Le Foch (25.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 […]
A delicious lunch offering on the expensive side of things: Restaurant Costa Brava (24. September 2021)
It is a couple of years ago since I’ve been to the Costa Brava so I was not even able to remember that I had paid the place a visit. What it is is basically a good, traditional restaurant which offers tasty food – but for a hefty price. We went for the “Gambas al […]
