Le Moulin de la Galette

Back in the 18th Century Montmartre was filled with more than thirty windmills. Today, however, only two are left. (And no, I’m not talking about the Moulin Rouge in Pigalle!) The Blute-fin and the Radet make up the Moulin de la Galette which has been immortilized by some of the most famous artists in the […]

Le Chant des Voyelles

The problem with a lot of restaurants is that you may go one time and have a great experience and then you go again some time later and you’re disappointed. The reasons may vary in so many ways; from the restaurant being sold and you have new owners, to the chef leaving and taking all his great […]

Of course everyone automatically thinks of the Cordon Bleu and they do have some interesting workshops and demonstrations, ranging from private to group classes for amateurs and also professionals.

La Closerie des Lilas

The first time that I dined at this famous restaurant, I was invited by a French writer which made it all the more interesting to say the least. At the time, I was a young girl trying steak tartare for the first time in my life, sipping champagne on the terrace, and not really aware […]

Chez Michou

Think nightlife in Paris and many people will think of the Lido, the Crazy Horse Saloon, or the Moulin Rouge, but if you’re looking for somewhere to laugh and have fun, and is a little outside the norm, then Michou’s is the place to go.

Le Temps des Cerises on La Butte-aux-Cailles

So you’ve been in Paris for awhile and you still haven’t met any Parisians to tell your friends about when you get home, well fear not. There’s a restaurant in the 13th arrondissement where you can rub elbows with the locals; and when I say “rub elbows” I’m not exaggerating!

Dining on the Bateaux Mouches

Okay, after my last blog, I thought it would be nice to do something a little more romantic and what can be more romantic than having dinner on the Seine? There are a number of cruise boats offering day and evening tours, but I find the Bateaux-Mouches near the Pont de l’Alma to be the […]
