It’s so Kozy here !

It's so Kozy here !

Yummy brunch spot alert 🤗

Omg, I’ve wanted to try this place for quite some time, and I got to with my sister Dakota 🩷 she’s my ride or die, and we always have such good fun time together, so I couldn’t hope for better… except maybe if Naomi, my other sister, was here too, then that would have been perfect.

My sister went in for the pistachio pancakes, which were a limited seasonal item on the menu. She loved it so much, she finished everything right up. She got herself a matcha latte, while I got a caramel latte : I honestly can’t stand matcha lattes, I just always find them borderline nauseating 😂 I really don’t understand the hype, even though I love myself a traditional matcha tea, prepared in a bowl with just hot water.

Anyway, I got the fruit waffles : and they were huge ! I did not expect this size, I literally couldn’t finish. Probably ate at least half of it, and finished the fruits of course, before stopping. I would say it’s more than generous, but maybe not necessary to make such a huge waffle. I for sure will never reorder that item on their menu again by myself, because it’s just too big for me. This is something you share.

Nonetheless, everything was delicious ! And I had the best time, and the latte was super yummy, I didn’t even need to add extra sugar. Also the vibe is so cool, everyone speaks English and it’s close to Notre Dame, and my favorite library which is Shakespeare & Co.

Rating for this super brunch spot would be 8/10 ✨
It’s definitely a place you should try if you like yourself a good ol’ American style breakfast, but with a touch of “modern” since there’s pistachio and matcha and what not.

I still can’t believe we have a Krispy Kreme in Paris ! 🍩

Krispy Kreme was so part of my American life 😍 Back in California whenever I was craving some donuts, I’d go there if I could. Sure there were other options, but I was always a Krispy Kreme fan. I’m bringing everyone I know there now, with a side of coffee for optimal enjoyment.

Paris is always so beautiful when it’s sunny… it’s so unfortunate that we can’t have much of that weather.

For Sichuan cuisine, come to Trantranzai !

For Sichuan cuisine, come to Trantranzai !

What a change of scene !

This restaurant is a fave of my boyfriend, he loves noodle soup made with that special Sichuan pepper. Sichuan pepper has an incredible taste. He loves it so much we even bought some to use in our homemade Asians dishes. If you don’t know what it is, don’t be a fool and try it out 😂

So Trantranzai (that’s the name of the place), is quite famous in Paris. Not only is the decor kinda cool; you feel like you’re in a little joint in the middle of nowhere-China. But also the food is good !

I don’t know what they do to their noodles, but they’re always delicious. It’s a fun experience to be there, you can also choose how spicy you want your food to be (my boyfriend goes for 4, while I’m not that adventurous… I take 0 🤣). The only thing I’m not a fan of, food-wise, are the desserts. They’re a bit bland. I’m also not a fan of bubble tea, it’s too sweet for me.

Rating for this restaurant is 6/10
I can’t grade them better because last time they forgot half our order, the soups are also usually too salty. And also you have to tell them to watch their fingers, otherwise they don’t and it’s so unsanitary.

A taste of Italy at EATALY 😊

A taste of Italy at EATALY

EATALY is a famous marketplace chain, with restaurants inside !

My sister & I met again for lunch (this is becoming a series for us 😅). We were in the mood for Italian food, and since we were at the BHV we thought to ourselves, let’s go to Eataly since it’s close-by. I am not a fan of these food chain places, but they do serve occasionally good things, also I happen to know that they have a fair wine selection here.

An Italian restaurant filled with bottles !

My absolute favorite Italian restaurant !

I have already shared this place with you guys, but never reviewed it for my “Food” category (click to see all related posts). So here we go !

I actually celebrated my 32nd birthday there last year… my boyfriend made me discover this place the first time around, and we then became usuals. Whenever I craved some good Italian food, this was the place I wanted to be.

Not only is their food made from scratch every day, even the pasta is freshly made in the morning and not store-bought, but their Neapolitan-style pizzas are completely decadent. NB : You gotta eat them fast so they remain hot ! That’s the best way to have it.
