Eat Me. Le Restaurant, Paris

When I told my friend I was heading to Paris the first thing she said to me was “You must have lunch at Le Restaurant at L'Hotel!”


After Googling and discovering it was right round the corner from my apartment I thought how could I say no!? Particularly when it’s Michelin star, you know how I love some fine dining…


I rolled in on Friday, after dropping my bags off, wearing my favourite yellow dress. After being up at the crack of dawn, catching the Eurostar and finding my apartment, it’s safe to say I had worked up a fairly large appetite.

Nestled in the very majestic yet quaint L’Hotel, Le Resturant’s lunch is the perfect opportunity to try their cuisine (hint: lunch is much cheaper than dinner!). I sat in the little courtyard by the fountain and soaked in my surroundings whilst very efficient waiters bustled around me.

I opted for two courses; main and dessert but like any good restaurant they’ll bring you other little treats as well. I started with a very intriguing amuse-bouche (which literally means a mouth amuser!). There was a bubbling prawn cracker, a little soft cheese roll with a snappy pastry coating, an aniseed infused bread and mini fruit tarts. Yum. Mouth amused? Check.


Next was a little mousse to get the palette going. When they set it down in front of me I was very intrigued. It was a ham-infused light-as-air mousse with chunks of melon underneath and some crispy prosciutto on top. Interesting but delightfully so. Palette ready and waiting…


Tada – the main course! My fish was beautiful. I really do love a good piece of cod and this one was cooked to perfection combined with crunchy pieces of fresh apple, a soft mash, lemon segments and a zingy vitamised juice.


Then I finished off the meal in style with a heart-breakingly pretty apricot dessert. I shall call it five variations on apricot – there was mousse, jelly, custard, fresh pieces and a little sponge. Perfection. 5/5


Feeling thoroughly sated I was ready to explore. Bonjour Paris, so lovely to see you again…

Suitcase. Tegernsee, Germany - Travel Guide

Image
I take great pleasure from visiting destinations that are a little more under the radar. Sure big capitals like Paris and Barcelona have their drawcards, but there's something majestic and quaint about visiting a smaller town for a few days. Living a local way of life.    Tegernsee is a storybook little town in the Bavarian region of Germany. It's somewhere I've long wanted to visit - my mum was here in the '80s and has often spoken of its magic and charm. Last week, I arrived. I checked into my jaw-dropping home for the next few days - Das Tegernsee and set up camp in my beautiful suite overlooking the lake; complete with balcony, shower large enough to host a party and bath tub with lookout. Whilst spring had arrived there was certainly still plenty of evidence of winter with bare trees, brisk air and snow-covered ground. I stood in wonder on the balcony of my chic alpine chalet, marvelling at the lake and giggling as a trickle of falling snowflakes landed on my nose...

Style It. August Celeb Street Style

Image
This month’s street style round up almost became an ode to Emily Ratajkowski. Her looks have been so on-point throughout August I feel like I’ve seen her in an incredible outfit every single day. To keep it interesting I thought I better find some other babes to round it out, but full props to Emily – I’d love to raid your wardrobe… Dress // Over The Knee Boots // Antique Ring // Ring Pack Here she is in what I think is my favourite look of hers this month. The golden girl of the moment, Emily Ratajkowski looks so chic in a ‘60s inspired white Zimmerman dress and she’s rockin’ those over the knee boots with flair. Lust-worthy. Ribbed Knit Top // Skinny Jeans // Tote Bag // Sandals // Sunglasses // Cuff Bracelet // Bangle Miranda Kerr does transit in laidback luxe style. If only we could all have a limited edition Saint Laurent tote. Sigh. Loving the ribbed knit and cool, casual jeans; she makes a trans-Atlantic flight seem effortless. Bardot Top // Skinny Jeans // Bag // ...
