No touristy sites yet appart from the food ones.
Laduree; macaroons to die for, in a selection of seasonal/daily flavours. Think crunchy outer and heavenly soft centres that nearly fall apart once bitten; blueberry, cherry and raspberry were the picks.
Minums; next door to the famed, Maxims. It was the little brother of Maxims, and very similar to France Soir on Toorak Road. We sat at a gorgeous old bistro table at the front and drank Cote Du Rhone rouge by the carafe and ate the clichés... very cheesey gratinated onion soup, a rich bisque soup with rouille, steak tartare and fries -listed as pomme allumettes - straw potatoes, and I had a green salad on the side, missing my greens!
Dinner at L'Atelier de Joel Robuchon
You know you have a successful restaurant when you can tell a late walkin table -we arrived at 10pm, that if they come back at 11.30 you may have something for them... and then they come back... and then happlily waited until midnight to be seated! But we had to go to this restaurant based on SO many recommendations from friends

Raspberry was the best, I did love pistachio too, the colours were as good as the macaroons, the packaging etc., Paris is to die for. I cannot tell you how jealous I am... hey just a gentle prod about photos PLEASE... it helps with the whole experience... V xxxx
ReplyDeleteWe are GREEN with ENVY! When we went to Laduree they were so accommodating to us with 2 kids (& stroller) in tow! Their tea is devine! Hope you got to Faushon too, although I think thay have sold out, the place is like a supermarket... PS I undersatnd about the french keyboard, it took me 1/2 an hour to find @, talk about slow typing!
