After 15 years of frequenting my favourite city, Paris... I thought id share my best discoveries with you, and it might save me some time in the future as Paris is the place i'm most asked for recommendations. If you are looking for Fabulous places to surprise and delight you, read on!

​Breakfast 
Plaza athenee 
Quite simply the most fabulous, glamorous breakfast in Paris.  Eat fresh award winning pastries so fabulous they come with their own booklet under a shimmering chandelier designed by Philip stark.  And the staff are super nice too. Perfect for a special occasion, or simply just because...

Cafe de flore
Another lovely, very Parisienne cafe in Paris St. Germain. Perfect for people watching over a hugely calorific but worth it patisserie 

Le deux maggots
In one of my favourite neighbourhoods in Paris, this is a great spot for coffee and people watching over a fresh croissant. Take a table outside and the parisiennes make their way to work.  

Patisserie
​
Maison Laduree  
Laduree will always be favourite no matter how touristy it gets. To me it screams delicate femininity, and oozes prettiness. Its the perfect place a delicately patisserie cafe creme. I'll always have love for Laduree  

Lunch or Dinner
​
Angelina Paris
Known for its utterly incredible (no exaggeration necessary) hot chocolate- Le African Angelina is a Parisienne institution. But whilst most tourist flock for the patisserie and hot chocolate, the locals come for the savoury menu... which is no less delicious. Try the truffle ravioli and thank me later. The perfect post Louvre location for lunch!

Le Cinq
​I'll never forget spending one of my birthdays at Le Cinq, it was the one of the most fabulous lunches of my life! The are many reasons to visit Le Cinq, the fabulous 3 Michelin star restaurant in the beautiful Four seasons hotel (a hotel which is still very much on my hotel wish list)
Let start with the fact that Christian Le Squer was voted chef of the year in 2016! The experience is everything you'd from a 3 Michelin star Parisienne restaurant with a menu to die for. And to add the icing to the cake, you'll get see the stunning Jeff Latham display on the way in which is a reason on its own to visit... 

Le Grand Vefour
Le Grande Vefour remain's one of my all time favourite restaurant experiences ever.  The food, the service, the restaurant are all simply perfect. Steeped in history, there is a story behind everything here.  The place to come of you'd like a true Parisienne restaurant experience. I cant say enough good things about this place...

Also worth a visit 
Le ambassadors at The Crillion Hotel (now L' Ecrin, we haven't been since the hotel refurbishment)
​La Cour Jardin at The Plaza Athenee - absolutely stunning in the summer in all its red glory. A must  

(I hope you find some of these recommendations useful! Please let me know if you have fabulous places to share that I  haven't listed.

What do you do when you stay at a super cute, and incredibly relaxing interior design oasis in the middle of august when it literally sweltering (Note to self, Marrakesh in August is not for the faint hearted)

You take it easy and take it all in, thats what. 

When booking the trip, we knew it might be a little too hot for us so we made sure we booked somewhere we wouldn't tire of and that would keep us entertained on the too hot to go out afternoons (it was 43 degrees at some points)

I really couldn't imagine how anyone could get bored here. There are so many areas to explore, and when your done exploring you can sit back and enjoy. 

The rooftop is the place to head to if you fancy being a little more social. It had changed vastly since the last time we were here (see the post here) which is once of the things I love about El Fenn, its always evolving. 

And heres another thing I adore. The deserts. 

They really are incredible! All of the food here is fantastic, but the deserts really are stand out. So much so, we found ourselves shamelessly heading to the roof in late afternoon for something sweet, indulgent and totally calorific! 

This is my final post from our trip to Marrakech, one of my favourite places in the world to visit. So much so, we've just booked another trip...

If you fancy a night of candle light, dinner and dancing  whilst visiting Marrakech I highly recommend Comptoir Darna 

One of the things I love about Marrakech (I love may things about Marrakech in case you couldnt tell) is that by night it transforms into something completly glamorous and decedent. 

Comptoir is all luscious fragrant roses (total win in my book) candlelight and fabulous cocktails and had a similar but much more refined vibe to Jad Mahal  (I wrote about it here)

Put on your high heels and evening dress head out for the most fabulous experience. 

They put on quite the show at comptoir. The live music and dancing candelabra ladies create such an exotic and glamorous vibe

And the food doesn't disappoint either. Who knew id become such a fan of Moroccan cuisine. 

And don't be surprised (or shy) if they get you to dance too, its somewhat expected and lots of fun...

Id definitely recommend a night of dinner and dancing at comptoir, put if on your list and thank me later
