Since my pastry friend and I were eager to try the Chef François Perret’s creations, we decided to go to the Ritz Hotel’s Bar Vendôme for tea. We already knew what to expect and what to order as we carefully studied the menu before going. […]
For those familiar with matcha places in London, this is the equivalent of Paris’ Tombo Café! My friend and I got a piece of marbled cake, which looked so good at the counter, a matcha piccolo and a black umami. The latter is made of […]
Have you ever dreamt to have tea among fairies, without really ‘escaping the city’? Then, Lily of the Valley is your next stop. Indeed with such a sweet name, this tea place is full of flowers everywhere. And when I say everywhere, I really mean […]
Whether it is London or Paris, I constantly look for nice coffeeshops with great coffee, comfy chairs and a cosy environment. And Loustic definitely has it all. It was opened in 2013 by a British man, Channa, who fell in love with the French culture and […]
Friends I met in London were spending a few days in Paris and I happened to be in town as well! So first thing in the morning, I took them to Carette for a full French brunch experience. The set came with a fresh juice, […]

I don’t know whether this is a London thing, but I have rarely gotten edible flowers on my plates in Paris or Tokyo! Anyway, back to the main topic, it’s getting sunnier and sunnier in London and we can finally sit and eat outside. […]
I was in Krakow for a couple of day to attend a summit on anti-corruption, transparency and accountability. Although I didn’t have much time to explore neither the city nor the food, I met incredibly driven and smart people. I learned so much from their insights […]
Let’s kick off the weekend right with breakfast at Continental Stores! This is one of the very first places I discovered in London and since then it’s been on the top of my list. They do brunch from 8:30am to 3pm, they have matcha cookies […]
