I am surprised to find Esti Restaurant and Bar in the 18th Arrondissement offering communal dinning to Parisian since most French prefer eating their own portion on their plate. Sharing is an extremely uncommon practice. I remember once I was dinning with a French in a Chinese Restaurant and how he chose to eat. When […]
This is yet another long overdue post. I visited Des Gars dans la Cuisine in summer 2018. I chanced upon when I was on my way to Moustache in 3rd arrondissement, a pet shop, in Le Marias, the 3rd arrondisement, to get a toys for Cookies. Since I didn’t plan for lunch that day, I […]
I chanced upon Au Gout Du Jour Lille in my last trip, December 2018, however, I didn’t manage to make a reservation back then. I was determined to visit this petite establishment when I re-visit Lille. Hence while I was making my March 2019 travel plan, I made a reservation way in advance. You may […]
If you read a little French, from the name, you might be able to guess that this restaurant, Canard Street, is all about duck. And indeed, on the menu there are mainly Duck dishes. Launched in 2016 by 2 young entrepreneurs who are passionate about duck and street food. Hence Canard Street was born with […]
A little unusual from my norm, I am flying Singapore Airlines Business Class SQ334 from Singapore to Paris which departs at 2.30am. As so far, I have only been flying on Singapore Airlines Business Class SQ336 which departs at 12.15am. The only reason for the change was price. I couldn’t get a cheaper ticket on […]
I chose Novotel Strasbourg Centre Halles Hotel based on a handful of criteria. Thinking that the attractions at Strasbourg are concentrated on the isle, I though a hotel that is at the edge will be best. Moreover, walking from the train station to the edge is about 10 minutes which is a reasonable time frame. […]
La Royale Lille was a surprised find. This tiny bistrot does not give off a toothsome vibe. It looks cosy and service crew were friendly. Menu was in French but the consolation is that the service crew spoke English. Similar to most French bistrot, the tables were extremely near to each other. Audible […]
Le Compostelle is one of the handful of restaurant that I have been returning though the below are the dishes that I had on my first visit. And it is a long overdue post which I kept procrastinating to pen down my thoughts. Nevertheless, I still want to share as this restaurant is on the […]
Perched at the second floor of a red brick building with Le Lion Bossu in yellow and perhaps bold is spotted from a distance. I wouldn’t expect it to be a restaurant, instead I would suspect it as an Art gallery. After the automated glass door, I was astonished to find once again red […]
L’Hermitage Gantois Restaurant is located within a hotel under the same name. You might be delighted to know that there is a spa within this property. The restaurant was awarded Michellin Plate 2018. This historical builiding was a former Hospice Gantois founded in 1462 by Jean de la Cambe (whose nickname was Gantois). Interior wall […]
