Paris – Miss Ko

On the 16th of April 2017, after going up the Arc de Triomphe. We went for some dinner at Miss Ko. I recommend to book or reserve as it gets very busy and just to make sure you have a table I would book online which is very simple and easy to do, only its in french so make sure you are able to understand with what you are doing. we came in at 7:45PM and it was absolutely packed. We were given a table near the entrance which was very nice as you could watch people go by and walking in and out. The staff were very friendly and helpful explaining everything. The interior was fascinating and different to what you would see in a restaurant because they made it look like you were in Tokyo with having all these symbols and bright light colours. I am a massive fan of Asian food so this was really good and tasted like good quality. The atmosphere was pleasant and not too noisy with background music playing which I liked. I have been here 3x now and never have had a bad meal or bad experience. As starter I shared some dishes with my family and we had some sushi (which I absolutely love) also we had some edamame, Gyzos and a seaweed salad. As main course we had are own dishes and I had a noodle salad with chicken which tasted really good. Then as last as a dessert I took a funny and different type of thing which were mini doughnuts with 3 special surprise chocolate sauces. I didn’t expect it to be that good and loved the white sauces which was given. If you want a fun night definitely come here. I will always come back here when I am over in Paris. It’s also in a very good location as its just round the corner from the Champs-Élyseés and next to the Louis Vuitton store. I would rate this a 5 out of 5

Paris – Ladurée

On the 16th of April 2017, after a day of looking around the Louvre. We decided to go and have something sweet to eat at Ladurée as a late afternoon snack. When we got there, there was a pretty long line but some how we only waited for 10 minutes until we got a table and the table we had been given was pretty nice as we could watch people walk and stand by. The atmosphere was very pleasant and not too noisy. The place at Ladurée on the Champs-Élysées is huge theres around 3 floors where you can sit and eat and also there is a take out, which means you can buy chocolate or macaroons to take out with you. While we were there I ordered an ice coffee but it was quite strong so I kindly asked for some extra cold milk, also I ordered 4 mini macaroons to go with the ice coffee which was very nice as you can choose a variety of your own flavours which you want. It was really good and I recommend if you want something sweet or typical french to try to definitely come to this place as the service is very good even when they are absolutely full in the whole building. They don’t only serve sweet dishes here but also breakfast and lunch if you are interested. I would rate this a 5 out of 5

Paris – Le Café Marly

On the 16th April 2017, We had an early breakfast around 10:30AM and because we had a reservation booked we were able to get a table, there was actually no need for a reservation because there was barely anyone there but normally this place is busier in the summer and for lunch as you have an amazing view of facing the Louvre while eating. I am sure they also serve dinner which is nice to see in the dark and having a nice atmosphere of people constantly walking by from different corners and areas. The waiters and staff were friendly and some could speak better english than others. Because we had the Louvre booked at 11:20AM and we thought we were going to be late because we had to be there 20 minutes before hand. We told one of the waiters if the food could come a bit quicker and they were very polite and sorted this out for us. I ordered Toast with 2 different types of jams and a pot of honey, this was very nice and I enjoyed a lot. Along with the food I ordered a Iced Coffee which was really good and I wanted another one but didn’t have time for it. I would come again but the choice for breakfast was very small and I didn’t have much to pick from. Maybe for lunch it might be a different story. I would rate this a 4 out of 5 because of the lack of choice there was on the menu for breakfast.

Paris – L’Avenue

On the 15th of April 2017, after a whole day of looking around Paris and the Catacombs. We went to have dinner at L’avenue, which is a very popular and well known restaurant to go to because of all the celebrities that have been and you can spot now and then like Kim Kardashian and Kanye West also the rest of the Kardashian family and Jenners, Rihanna, Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez, and many other celebrities, most of them you might spot during Paris Fashion Week. Luckily I had reserved a table and we got in because while walking through to eat on the second floor, the restaurant was completely full when we arrived around 8PM. I suggest to book if you want to eat here for Lunch or Dinner. The staff were very efficient and friendly when bringing you to your table. The food is really good and a big range of choices for Starters and Main Courses. I ordered sliced avocado as starter and a steak with french fries as main course. Only I wouldn’t touch the candles or move them as they go off with moving it the slightest, which happened twice to our table. I would definitely come back again when around in Paris. The location is perfect as it’s not too far from Champs-Élysées and it’s between a lot of expensive brands shopping street. I would rate this a 5 out of 5

Paris – YOOM Dim Sum

On the 15th of April 2017, we went to Galeries Lafayette which is a massive department store with food, clothes and drinks. You could basically spend a whole 2 days in there. After looking around a bit we went to the 7th floor and found a place to eat called ”YOOM Dim Sum”. It wasn’t that busy but that was because we arrived around 12PM which for most people is not lunch time yet and so there was only a few people. We were able to choose our own table and so we chose the only table that was near the window and had a stunning view over Paris with the Opera and Eiffel Tower which we were able to see. The staff were friendly and didn’t take long for our food and drinks to come. We had ordered a few dim sums to share and to drink I ordered a Jasmine Tea. The food tasted really good, while we were sitting there it was getting very busy and by the time we left the place was completely full. As dessert a dish which caught my eye was a famous french inspired dumpling which was a chocolate steamed dumpling and it tasted amazing!!! as chocolate liquid poured out. I would definitely recommend this place if you are in or near Galaries Lafayette. I would rate this a 5 out of 5
