Why a Food Tour in Montmartre Is the Best Thing You Can Do in Paris

Nothing tells you more about a nation and itâ€™s culture than itâ€™s street markets. Getting to understand how and what families eat is to gain an insight into the real experience of a place. Nowhere is that more true than in Paris. The essence of the whole country is distilled into a glorious perfume in the side streets of the capital. Cheeses, mushrooms, herbs, garlic, tomatoes, vegetables and bread all take an overnight journey

Chocolate by Mindi

Mindiâ€™s top 3 chocolate shops in Paris Everyone knows that the French are dedicated to great food, and when it comes to chocolate this is no exception.Â Any chocolate connoisseur will know that great chocolate starts with high quality ingredients.Â Many industrial chocolate shops overuse the amount of sugar to hide cheap ingredients.Â A true chocolatier will only use the best cocoa and though you will be paying a higher price, trust me, it will be worth it! Â

Top Croissants

Paris. The city of love. The city of lights. But let's get to what really matters, it is the city of croissants! A croissant is defined from Oxford Dictionary as "a French crescent-shaped roll made of sweet flaky yeast dough, eaten for breakfast." â€œSweet flaky yeast dough" - YES please. "eaten for breakfast" - WRONG. Can be eaten at any time. A self proclaimed croissant connoisseur, I have searched the city far and wide for the absolute best.Â So let's begin!

The Good Old English Breakfast

The Good Old English Breakfast There was a time when Sunday began with traditional bacon, sausages and eggs garnished with tomato, beans or mushrooms. This is still a meal that sets you up until tea-time and gives you the perfect excuse to skip lunch and go through until afternoon tea-time without further nourishment.

Somerset and Cheddar

Yard Dairy in Borough Market in London, a testament to its quality. In the last 20 years as the food revolution has taken hold, it has been a generation of artisan workers who create new and exciting products.

L'automne, saison de toutes les gourmandises !

Ã€ cette Ã©poque de lâ€™annÃ©e, notre pays est divisÃ© en deux : ceux qui regrettent dÃ©jÃ leur bronzage estival, la chaleur du soleil sur leur peau, et ceux qui accueillent la fraÃ®cheur matinale avec une nouvelle paire de bottines et de leggings...

Je marche, tu marches, il/elle fait son marchÃ©â€¦ Ã Paris !

Bobo, bio, cosmopolite, familial, Ã chacun son lieu pour remplir ses paniers et faire le plein dâ€™authenticitÃ©. Le MarchÃ© des Enfants Rouges par exemple, situÃ© dans le 3e arrondissement, a tout pour plaire. Fringant, historique, câ€™est le plus vieux marchÃ© couvert de Paris et lâ€™on peut y manger des spÃ©cialitÃ©s du monde entier.
