We needed a place that was open to look for a specific style/type of pastry and found Pâtisserie Viennoise thanks to Google Maps by just walking around. It's a super cute hole in the wall, literally, because if you step two feet outside the door, you're on a one way street with plenty of cars passing through. The operators were very sweet and you know it's not very commercialized as they didn't speak English too well but were happy to help. We came in for a specific type of pasty, but the smells felt so good that we ended up leaving with a few different items. ALL of them, delicious!

Never did I think that waiting for a seat at a restaurant would be worth it... color me chagrined!…read more Le Loir dans La Théière had a line, we waited and time passed quickly. It usually does when you are wanting what's inside... pure hot chocolate! We were seated with a view of the front and the restaurant behind me. The order was simple "hot chocolate" drinks and a desert (calorie intake = high). I chose carrot cake, my friend an "apple tart"... btw no menus just go up to the buffet and let them know what you want.

As with all Starbucks in France, it is quite expensive. my drink ended up costing 25% more than it would have done back home, in the UK and if you included our lower rate of tax it works out around 40% more - crazy! To be fair, this also included the vanilla syrup surcharge which I'd get for free back home as a Gold Starbucks Rewards member, it's still impossible for UK/US/Canada/Ireland/China to use Starbucks Cards in mainland Europe, including France. The store was pretty crammed, the downstairs area is pretty small and at peak times especially with it being right near Saint-Lazare Station, it can get busy and crowded. The staff seem friendly enough and try to deal with it as well as they can. Considering how busy the store was and how I've noticed busy stores tend to rush and mess up drinks, my drink wasn't bad, it tasted good and I did enjoy my Venti Caramel Cloud Macchiato, it was a shame they didn't have any of the new style lids which every other store offered me during my time in Paris. A nice Starbucks store in a good location, with a good selection or merch too, ideal if you want to get a coffee before a train but also good if you want to sit outside or you're lucky enough to get a seat inside. 4*

What else would you do in Paris...... Eat all the crepes!!!…read more We were staying nearby and had been for a 16km run (don't ask), so didn't really have time for lunch, and we didn't have the patience (hangry) to venture too far away from where we were staying. So after a little search, Mad'eo showed up. We arrived around 7.30 and were one of two table there. It's a small restaurant, around 2 tables of 2 outside, and maybe 20 inside. We decided to sit outside. The menu's are only in French, however the owner was more than happy to go through almost every item on the menu to ensure we understood everything. The crepes are made in a special way according to the area of France the owner was from Brittany, she also had local beers from that area. We ordered 2 crepes initially: egg, pepper and bacon, tomato, bacon and goats cheese. My date was still hungry, so we ordered another with sausage, caramelized onion and cheese. They were all so delicious, picking a favourite is near impossible. Dessert was even harder to choose. We ended up having the lemon meringue, la suzzette and the special (caramel, with cider ice cream). Between two of us we demolished 6 crepes and they were all so amazing. The restaurant started to get a little busier, and with only the owner and the chef, I was pleasantly surprised we never had to wait too long for anything. The owner was so friendly and helpful and you could tell she took great pride in the work she does. I'd definitely go back here in a heart beat.
