Best Breakfast – Holy Belly
Get there for opening and not on a weekend if possible. We tried again Monday morning after leaving the HUGE queue on Saturday. I had delicious pancakes and a mug of coffee, Ben had the egg special. It’s kinda the French version of The Breakfast Club.
Best Shop – Kaolin (Le Marais)
We could easily have bought the whole shop to kit out a house we don’t have yet. I think we’d seriously consider a road trip back at some point. In a great location for a stroll and window shop.
Best French Dinner – Chez Janou
A solid recommendation from our friend Olivier, very French and very nice. Must book.
Best non-French meal – Khao Thai
Last minute decision after failing to get a spot at Chez Janou, not at all French but super good food and excellent service.
Best Pub – Pepper Café
Two wines for 7euros during happy hour, winner. Small unassuming bar that gets busy to standing room only in the evening
Best Bar – Moonshiner
A secret bar through the cold room at the back of a pizza restaurant. Very speakeasy, great cocktails and service. Instagram dream.
Best view – Top of Galleries la Fayette
Surprising find at the top of the shopping centre, a great view of the Tower and Opera House. Galleries la Fayette itself is also worth a trip, the building is beautiful. Stop off for a Lindt Hot Chocolate before going in.
