Paris is beautiful in every season, but I am a big fan of Paris in the spring particularly 

The blossom trees are everywhere making it look even prettier than usual 

And its the perfect time and place to get lost in the city, stopping for a cafe creme whenever your feet need a rest.

Another of our favorite restaurants is Angelina, again one from way back when and has now become uber famous. Its not only a favorite because of its extraordinary hot chocolate and the fact we share the same name

Or even because its patisserie and desserts are exquisite (and less floral tasting than some of the laduree desserts). Its a favorite because it savory dishes are super delicious. Favorites of mine are Croque-Monsieur (heavenly) and Truffle ravioli, Parmesan cream, rocket salad (mind blowing)

And it would be rude not to finish off with one of the incredible desserts I mentioned earlier (did I mention that I also put on weight in Paris, and its worth every extra lbs)

And the best thing is, when your done you can just wok off all of those calories walking around the city.

And take in all of the beautiful architecture and historic buildings  

Or get lost in the side streets and find some beautiful shops 

Find your way to Saint-Germain-des-Prés, one of my favourite areas in Paris 

And to one of the many famous Coffee bars. One of my favourites is Cafe de Flore 

Order a glass of wine or a cafe (and perhaps one of their incredible pastry of the day, ans split it with a friend so you don't feel guilty)

And watch the world go by 

I hope you love Paris as much as I do!

Epicure had been on my foodie bucket list for sometime. ​

So expectations were high. Especially as we have so many favourite restaurants in Paris. But with 3 Michelin stars and superstar Chef Eric Frechon, we knew we were about to experience exemplary excellence.

Located within hotel Le Bristol, Epicure has quite the reputation having been named the best restaurant in the world. And for good reason. 

This was my first time visiting Le Bristol, and it swiftly got added to the "places too stay before I die" list.

Its hard to know where to start when describing a perfect experience. ​

But lets start with the food.
To begin – Foie Gras Royale with Sorrel Mousse , Tandoori Spiced Crayfish Lollipop, Mushroom filled Gougere.

One of Eric Frechon's signature dishes, Stuffed macaroni with artichokes, black truffle, duck foie gras and Parmesan cheese.
The intensity of the flavours were incredible, and pehaps my favourite dish of the meal  

Pre dessert – Diced Pineapple, with Caipirinha cocktail jelly and Coconut Sorbet.

​A Bubble of Iced Tea with Gold leaf.

The lemon from Menton, frosted with Limoncello and served with pear and preserved lemon. As incredible as it looked.

And the almost to beautiful to eat chocolate dome with gold accents!

And then came the sweet trolley (in our book you can never have enough sweet things) which just happened to be the cutest thing ever! The largest selection of Macaroons and Chocolate delights. Fresh and delicate perfection and oh so cute

After the loveliest afternoon at Epicure, we took a stroll in the gardens of Le Bristol to admire the beautiful Magnolia tree and orange trees.  

A beautiful peaceful oasis in the heart of busy bustling pairs, and the perfect end to an incredible afternoon     

Our visit to Le Bristol was a gigantic tick off our bucket list, and exceeded all of our expectations. This experience was without doubt an amazing moment
