Bar a huîtres - Paris

As soon as I knew I was visiting Paris I started craving oysters like crazy!

 I happily ended up having lunch at Le Bar a Huîtres close to the place de vosges. The selection of oysters available at this restaurant was amazing. All products were super fresh. They offer seafood platters including crab, lobster, mussels, shrimp and also a la carte dishes. The platters are great to share and to taste a bit of everything. I went with a tasting of "Grand Cru" oysters; escargots, and a rich in flavor fish soup. 

Although the food was delicious and the place beautiful, the service was just ok. I still recommend it to every oyster/seafood foodie visiting Paris.

It's s kind of cool to have the menu on an iPad. It's a good tool to learn about the different types of oysters, its geography and taste amongst other dishes. However, it could easily become confusing and at the end of the day I value simplicity

Bonjour place de la Madeleine! - Paris

This is a must do in my Paris list. The first thing you'll see at the square is the stunning Madeleine Church, the second most amazing thing in the square is the fine food shops surrounding the Église. Give yourself over the gourmet pleasures! 

It's also a perfect plan if you're in the mood for a picnic along the Seine or in Tuileries because you'll find everything you need. From exclusive Hediard, to modern Fauchon, la Maison de la Truffe and Maille-which offers 30 different flavors of mustard. Take a look at the pictures to see more!
