Paris: Croque Madame

Croque Madame - Cheese, Tomato & Ham Grilled on Toast w/ a Fried Egg 


Champagne Flavoured Foie Gras with Fig Chutney & Toast





It was a gloomy day in Paris and we just left Coco Chanel's apartment at 31 Rue Cambon. We ended up at a lovely cafe located at the Royal Saint Honore Hotel. The Croque Madame was delightful, more dishes should be topped with a fried egg. We also got our first taste of Parisian foie gras and it was lovely. It's not everyday you get to shop at the first Chanel store and dine on Champagne flavoured foie gras.

Paris: Latin Quarter

Pop is more expensive than Wine. Drink up.


Mussels in a Cream Sauce


Escargot = Snails


The French love their Escargot!


Duck a l'Orange - Roasted Duck with an Orange Sauce








Crème Brûlée = Burnt Cream
My favourite dessert!


Gelato





If you are ever in Paris, you must dine in the Latin Quarter. Everyone knows how expensive the City of Light can be but here's a really good tip, you can get a three course dinner for 15 Euros. Yes I said three courses and yes I said 15 Euros. We feasted on French favourites like Escargot, Duck a l'Orange and Crème Brûlée. I know some people may not like the thought of eating snails but they were delicious.

Paris, Je T'aime.
