Happy weekend you guys! I’m having a lovely Sunday catching up on some housework and blogging, and avoiding the cold (ish) rainy day out there! (Though I’m really not complaining, considering Newfoundland is experiencing Julyuary ….!). Here are a few photos of the things that made me smile this week (please excuse excessive pet pics):
| Mmm… ice cream!|
| Layla’s best Boston buddy. Just havin’ a snooze. |
| Date night at
Le Triangle
. Awesome food and craft beers – I’ll be going back! |
| Such a smart (and adorable) girl. She ate all her food, with the exception of the flea pill, the worm pill, and one suspect kibble. And then made this face when I told her she had to eat them. |
| Experimenting with cocktail recipes. |
| What do you mean, it’s a “dog” bed? |

Hi Liz! I found your blog through your husband who went to highschool with me! I am heading to Paris in Septemeber with my soon to be hubby for our honeymoon. I looked up this restaurant that you suggested and it is looks like something we would love! Do you have any other suggestions? We are only in Paris 3 days on our European Honeymoon so I’d like to have reataurants choosen ahead of time to maximize our time.
Hello Heidi! Thanks so much for getting in touch – I love hearing from people :) And congratulations on your upcoming wedding, Paris is a lovely place for a honeymoon!
If you like food, Paris is one of the most overwhelming cities… so much good food to choose from!! If I had to pick, my favourite restaurants are probably:
* La Mangerie {7 rue de Jarente, 4th} – awesome tapas place, and they greet you with house-made aperitif when you arrive
* Terroir Parisien {28 place de la Bourse, 2nd OR 20 rue Saint-Victor, 5th} – Amazing french food, on the fancier side
* La Triangle {13 rue Jacques Louvel Tessier, 10th} – great menu that changes all the time, and microbrewery with delicious beers – plus, one of the owners is Canadian :)
* Chez Tantine {51 rue Laugier, 17th} – a great brunch spot, but a little out of the way
* La Caféotheque {50-52 rue de l’Hôtel de Ville, 4th} – more of a coffee house than a restaurant, but great if you really need a good cup of coffee (which can be hard to find!)
* Les Enfants Perdus {9 rue des Récollets, 10th} – I’ve only been here for brunch (which is awesome), but I’ve heard it’s great for supper as well
* Sawan Bistro Thaï {35 rue de Faidherbe, 11th} – Casual spot for great thai food, with cheap beer (also hard to find!)
* Frenchie {5-6 rue du Nil, 2nd} – Super good food, set menu, but a little on the pricier side and can be hard to get a reservation
* Ellsworth {34 rue de Richelieu, 1st} – Opened not too long ago, owned by the same people that own Verjus, but I actually like the food at Ellsworth better, and it’s a little more casual
Also, ‘Paris by Mouth’ (www.parisbymouth.com) is a great food resource (in English!)
Enjoy your time in Paris – let me know how it goes! :)
xx Liz
