Fish Club 58 Rue Jean-Jacques Rousseau 75001 Paris The Experimental Group expansion continues at an impressive clip with their sixth local opening.

Très Honoré Bar 35 Place du Marché Saint-Honoré Paris 75001 Two of my favorite things: catching up with good friends and checking out new venues. So, when Dec and Cliodhna were back in town briefly after a few years’ stint in Abu Dhabi, I was more than happy to do both. Considering their time in […]
Le Baudelaire at Le Burgundy Hotel 6/8, rue Duphot 75001 Paris Tél. 01 42 60 34 12 As an ex-pat in Paris, it’s easy to drop into Anglophone life.

I wanted the option to occasionally indulge my cocktail cravings formed in the US […]
Le Meurice 228 rue de Rivoli Paris 75001 Tel: +33 1 44 58 10 10 While spontaneity is good, I also have a thing for establishing tradition (most of mine involve food, drink or travel.) For example, for the past several years, Kate comes up from Geneva for our annual Easter weekend visit. The itinerary […]
Ferdi 32, Rue du Mont-Thabor 75001 Paris Tel : 01 42 60 82 52 This year I was rather lucky & had a weeks long drawn out birthday with many mini-gettogethers & surprises. A few weeks after the actual day, fellow food-loving friends, Fred & Lauren, invited me to dinner at Pinxo for more belated […]
HOLD ON….BEFORE YOU THINK ABOUT GOING HERE, YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT THIS BAR IS NOW CLOSED! Baboto 12/14, Rue de la Ferronnerie 75001 Paris Between NYE travels and my recent Seattle/San Francisco trip, I’ve had a slow start to my 2010 blogging. But, I’m back and looking forward to finding some excellent cocktails this year […]
