Bonjour! I think the question I am asked the most is "where to eat". So here it is. My fully tested dining schedule. Keep in mind - I prefer veggies. So keep an open mind and just pop in new places and try them out. That's really what I do.
1. Go to the Tuileries gardens and look for the open cafe's by the tree line. I just LOVE sitting out here looking at the flowers and having the plat du jour. http://bit.ly/nDGujr
2. Stop in for dessert at Jacques Genin chocolate place. I took a class with his kitchen when he just did wholesale (to 5 star hotels) now he is available to the public. It's worth just getting a hot chocolate at the cafe. I don't know his website but this is a link to a review http://bit.ly/ojkVw6
3. I found this place in the Marais area by Nortre Dame in Paris. They have loose tea too. Excellent quality. For a treat get tea and biscuits at their cafe. http://bit.ly/qjT3fB
4. La belle ronde = This is located Denfert Rochereau on Daguerre St. This is nice market street to get cheese, bread, wine =) all of life's necessities. http://bit.ly/p5TPba It's a creperie. They have sweet and salty so some are a desert and others a meal.
5. Montmartre Hill - this is the artist colony are and there are a couple of hidden cafes around the corner from where the artists set up Chez Plumeau. http://bit.ly/p560Mp I couldn't find a website for them. The atmosphere here is very nice and usually someone is set up playing music. It is a small menu so that means it's excellent.
6. Indian food. A friend of mine took me here once and it was great! I've been back many times as well. It's in the Latin Quarter - get there early for a table by the window. Safran http://bit.ly/mP10AS They will also tell you if something is going to be spicy. Excellent food
7. L' Ebouillante restaurant - amazing! Love this place. My friends found it and took me back their on our trip to Paris. It's on a cobblestone street and the soup of the day is DELIS ! http://bit.ly/n2h4au It's great for veggie lovers. It's very French so don't expect them to hover over you at dinner. Take your time and enjoy!
8. Last one! My favorite wine shop. He has a nice selection from around France. The owner is originally from Miami, FL. I found this as a recommendation from a friend. http://bit.ly/oBeFID
Tricia's Travel Tips started with my "Grand European Tour" in August 2007. It was quite an adventure! Afterwards I decided to expand the beach portrait concept to "vacation portraits". It was the start of something special. In my blog, I have personal tips and adventures. I hope it inspires you to leave the country and travel around this wonderful wide world we live in! Merci! Mahalo! Tricia & Co.
