There are lovely dinners in Paris, and then there are those unforgettable evenings that feel like a perfectly written story—where the food, wine, ambiance, and company align in such harmony, you never want the night to end. Our weekly date night took us to the 6th arrondissement - and on the most perfect street to enjoy a bit of calm in Paris. I cycled over the Seine River and met Benoit out front as he arrived straight from work. Our dinner at Le Christine, a tucked-away ge[...]
There are many great places to eat in Montmartre, and as someone who lives in the neighborhood, I love to share these restaurants with you! The other day, one of my girlfriends and I took a little midday escape to try L’Almanach, a charming restaurant tucked away at 33 Rue Ramey, right in the heart of Montmartre. Coincidentally, this was the first street I lived on as a sublet for three months before I found my forever home. The restaurant is also a short walk from Sacre Coeur. It w[...]
Last week, I had the pleasure of lunching at Altro Frenchie, the newest Italian offshoot from acclaimed Michelin-starred chef Gregory Marchand. Nestled on the intimate and already deliciously hip Rue du Nil, Altro is a welcome and vibrant addition to this foodie haven in the 2nd arrondissement.

A surprise dinner in Le Marais for Valentine’s Day? My 2025 bingo cards are already looking very chic and yummy! So when we pushed open the door and were greeted with a warm smile before being led upstairs to a spacious, candlelit second floor, I knew Benoît had made a great choice. Date nights are always special, but this one felt extra meaningful—because not only was it Valentine’s Day, it was also our four-year anniversary! Whaaat?! Where did the time go? But here we[...]
