AUJOURD'HUI DEMAIN

Hey there! If you are vegan or like vegan food, then this article might be for you!

Aujourd'hui demain is a concept store located in the really hype 11th arrondissement of Paris.

You will find there a curated selection of clothes, cosmetics, food and a cute restaurant.

The restaurant is 100% vegan and, as a non vegan person, I can tell you it's really good!

I've been there twice and I have tried a few items on the menu in order to share my thoughts about it with you.

Everything is really fresh and the servings are generous.

You can chose all the classic for a brunch such as Pancakes, Avocado toasts, Burgers and Fries...

They really do have options!

Special mention to the burger :

It is made with beyond meat which is the closest thing you can get to a meat patty that tastes almost like real meat. I do eat meat from time to time and let me tell you, it really does taste like it.

The cheese is also vegan obviously and made of soy if i'm not mistaking.

The avocado toast is also a must !

I'm quite specific about my avo toasts and this one is just how I like them : really chunky with lots of aromatic herbs on top :D

Moreover, everything is well put together which has its importance if you like taking pictures of food as much as I do. 

Overall 

Aujourd'hui demain is the perfect spot if you want to eat quality vegan food, do your groceries and look at some trendy clothes and accessories.

The place is rather small and I don't think reservations are available so I would suggest you to go there early and avoid the midday rush if you want to brunch or eat lunch there.

LE 17.45 RÉPUBLIQUE

If you know me you know I really am a cheese kinda gal ;)

Maybe I am a living Parisian cliché but I love me some good cheese, and if it's served with a nice plate of charcuterie, I am basically in food heaven!

So today I want to talk to you about Le 17.45 République. It's a very cool spot to enjoy a nicely curated plate of cheese and charcuterie, in the heart of the 10th arrondissement of Paris.

The concept is pretty cool, the waiter brings you a menu and a pen and you pick everything you want ! There is a very large choice of saucissons, terrines and cheeses of any kind.

What I can recommend is to pick about 3 to 5 items per person, but you can order how much you like :)

To give you an idea of what you can expect, here is what my friends and I ordered :

Overall

Le 17.45 is a really nice place to enjoy good typical french charcuterie and cheese. You can eat either in or out and the street is rather calm for the neighbourood.
This place my go to spot if I specifically want to eat this kind of food. Keep in mind you can find charcuterie and/or cheese plates in about any bar in Paris, but they are not always worth the try (and money) because they can easily be a bit overpriced for the quality/quantity you get.

The place is well decorated and the staff is nice which is always a bonus.

Fun fact : the toilets are not your typical restaurant toilets, I'll let you see it by yourself ;)

Hero

Hello everyone, I hope you're doing well :)

Today I come back to you with a great address to enjoy Korean food ! It's called Hero, and it's located in front of the subway station "Strasbourg Saint Denis", you cannot miss it ;)

Hero is a very small and cosy place, where everything is well organized, and it feels like a special attention has been made to the decoration, to make you feel at home.

The place with its pink blush tones is an instagram paradise haha, and most of all, they play an amazing playlist! If you're like me and enjoy a good old school R&B playlist, you'll love this place !

As the place is quite small, my friend and I decided to arrive at the opening hour (12:00), and we did well because we were the first ones to arrive.

Regarding the menu, I would say it is rather limited, but I don't mind it, because it is always a sign of product freshness to me. The less there is on the menu, the fresher the food is in my opinion.

What most people tend to do when they come at Hero, is to orders several plates and to share them. As I was starving (as usual haha), my friend and I decided to order something for each of us.

So this is what we ate :

Brown & Rosie

Hello Guys,

I hope you're doing well !

Today I come back to you with an article about a very cute coffee/lunch spot that I discovered when I was spending a day away in London.

As we were desperately looking for a place to grab a coffee and eat something, we decided to stop by Brown & Rosie, located nearby the subway station of South Kesington. 

Unfortunately, it was pouring rain and we couldn't sit inside since the places inside were strictly reserved for lunch and diner.

Nevertheless, we were so exhausted that we decided so get a table outside, in a corner protected from the rain and under a warming heater. It was not that bad afterall.

Now, on to the important part, the FOOD of course 😉

• French Toasts : £11.50 (around €13.10 and $16.10)
  
  

Mona by My Little Paris

Mona by My Little Paris is a new co-working space launched by My Little Paris in October to allow women to work together and build great projects in a cosy and welcoming space.

Located in an old Parisian building in Le Marais, you can pretty much spend your whole day here. From eating to listening to music, reading or even assisting to conferences, Mona has it all.

Since Mona opens its door for three months to the famous New Yorker Restaurant : Maman NYC, I decided to go there on a Sunday to enjoy their Brunch. 

Palais d'Asie

I love Asian food and especially Dim Sums but it can be hard to find qualitative Asian food with reasonable prices in Paris. Since Dim Sums are fairly small, you have to order several pieces to make it a full meal, and the bill can be really expensive some times.

This is the reason why I wanted to talk to you about my favorite place to eat Asian food in Paris : Le Palais D'Asie. The restaurant is located in the Chinese neighbourhood of Paris in the 13th district not very far from the subway station Tolbiac.

O Coffee Shop

One morning as I had time to kill before going to work, I decided to treat myself to an Australian brunch at O Coffee Shop, an Aussie address nearby the Eiffel Tower in the 15th district of Paris.

I was craving avocado toast and a good latte so I gave a try at this cute place. 

Paris Texas

I love coming across unexpected restaurants. Those were you don't intend to go at first but end up there anyway and enjoy a delicious meal. This is what happened to me a few weeks ago with Paris Texas Restaurant. I initially was planning on going to Peonies, an insanely cute restaurant which also happen to sell flowers. Cute concept right ?!

Unfortunately, the place was completely booked (name that reference 😋) and after waiting a while outside of the restaurant, my friend and I decided to find an alternative.

We did not have to search for a long time since there was right in front of us, on the opposite street, the restaurant I'm going to talk about today : Paris Texas

Aloha Café

Near Pigalle, in the heart of the 9th district of Paris, there's a very cute coffee shop called Aloha Café.

Its decoration is very unique and floral, and there are a reasonable amount of sitting places compared to other Parisian coffee shops which are really tiny.

As most of the places I visit for the blog, I first came across Aloha Café on Instagram and fell in love with the palm tree leaves wall paper, which was so picture worthy 😁.

Yes I did spilled my coffee all over the saucer 😭 

Daroco

If you know me, you know that I am an inconditionnal lover of Popolare !

The place is great, the food is excellent and on top of that, it's cheap. What else can we ask for, right  ?😋
But the problem with Popolare is that bookings are not available, so you always wait a while before you get a table.

So, for this time, as I was celebrating my Birthday with a friend, I decided to play it safe and to book a table at Daroco, an Italian restaurant that I was seeing everywhere on Instagram.

Braun Notes Coffee

Another day... Another Brunch of course 😀

Last Sunday, my friend and I decided to give a try to the famous Braun Notes Coffee that I was seeing on every Instagram page. What really caught my eye on the first place was the really unique presentation of the granola inside of a coconut. Moreover, the pictures were really appetizing so we decided to brunch there on Sunday.

The place is located nearby the Saint Lazare Train Station, a district which tend to be really dead on the weekends since most of the shops are closed, and since it's quite a shopping and business oriented area, Parisians don't really go to there to have a walk on the weekends.

Despite that, I find it quite nice to be able to brunch in this area, because the neighbourhood has a pretty architecture, with a direct view on the Church of Holy Trinity and not far from the Notre Dame de Lorette neighbourhood which is really worth seeing. Not to mention it's on the way to go to the Sacré Cœur.

And if you want to please your shopping addiction (like I do 😜), Galeries Lafayette and Printemps department stores are now open on Sundays !

But let's focus on our experience on the Brunch, because that's why you are reading this (I suppose haha) after all, shall we ?

Holy Belly

To all my breakfast lovers out there, this post is made for you !

If you were to ask me to chose between breakfast, lunch and dinner, I think I would probably say breakfast !

Not only because it is the time where you can mix sweat and savoury snacks, but also because I truly believe that eating a satisfying breakie is a perfect way to start off the day right.

So, one morning, as I was really hungry I decided to go out and try the Holy Belly Breakfast I had been lurking on for days on Instagram.

Holy Belly is an Aussie Style Café, where the atmosphere is friendly and where every english speaker is more than welcome. As a matter of fact, the owners are fluent in English and the staff will be very pleased to speak with you in Shakespeare's language.

So, now that I have introduced you to the place, let's talk about the food !

NAC (North Audley Cantine)

London,

I love this city so much ! It has the convenience to be 2 hours away from Paris by train and the power to transport you to a whole different atmosphere.

I've been there a few times when I was younger and was missing the city really bad, so one day, we decided to make a one day trip there with a friend, to enjoy good food, architecture and of course shop 'til we drop.

As we were only there for a day, we booked really early in the morning train tickets to enjoy the most of our day here.

Since my blog revolves around food, I will share with you in this article a brunch place I tried and really enjoyed : NAC 😊

L'Alcazar

Oh hello there !

I hope you're doing well 😊

I recently went to the Alcazar Restaurant in Saint Germain des Prés in Paris to celebrate the birthday of one of my closest friends. I thought I'd share my experience with you since I really enjoyed it !

The Alcazar is a Traditional French cuisine restaurant located in a street nearby the "Mabillon" subway station. It is a gorgeous and unique place decorated with lots of greenery which is really enjoyable when you're living in Paris. I'd say this restaurant is more on the fancier side, but it is really nice if you want to celebrate something special, or even if you want to treat yourself with some nice french dishes, because well, why not after all ? 😜

The restaurant in itself is really spacious and you don't feel like you're in Paris when you come in. They achieved to create a nature friendly dinner room with high ceilings to let the light come in and it's simply gorgeous !

café kitsuné

If there is one thing I love to do when I'm wandering in Paris, it is to try as many coffee shop as possible. First of all, let's face it, they are instagramable as hell, and it is a good way to have a chinwag with your friends while enjoying a good coffee.

Today I will introduce you to : Café Kitsuné

CHACUN SES GOÛTS

What to eat on a hot summer day in Paris ? Froyo of course !

I love frozen yoghurt because it's a healthier alternative to ice cream and I find it really refreshing on hot summer days in the city.

Chacun ses goûts is located in the heart of Paris in a quiet street nearby the Pompidou center.

As many snack places in Paris, it's not very spacious and there is not a lot of space to sit down. If you're not one of the lucky people to be able to eat inside the shop, you can still enjoy your froyo at the Anne Frank garden located at a 3min walk where you will find several benches :)

PAIN PAIN

Hi there !

Today I wanted to talk to you about a very cute bakery that I tried : Pain Pain (litteraly Bread Bread in English).
It is located in the midst of rue des Martyrs in the 18th arrondissement of Paris.
One time as I was scrolling through the discover page of instagram, I came accross the account of this cute place and immediately thought it was too pretty not to try it !

BigLove Caffè

Everybody that knows me, knows that Brunch is one of my favorite things ever.. but really!

So, when I heard that the famous Bigmamma Group was opening a new restaurant, orientated mostly towards Brunch and Lunch, I didn't hesitate a minute and went there to try it with a friend.

If you've never heard of Bigmamma before and it only refers to you as the Eddie Murphy movie, let me introduce you quickly to the group 😉

It is basically a group of real authentic Italian restaurants based in Paris. They are very trendy and Parisians love to go there to enjoy great food in an always well designed space.
