A Blessing In Disguise

So here I am in Paris. It was one of those legendary; I've always wanted to go this romantic city. Even just for a week, it’s been one helluva ride. This city is a whirlwind of excitement and activity and I’m lured in by everything I can see. And of course, eat.

I've my very best friend here who’s willing to drive me all day after class. (Don’t know what actually this relation based on but I've to ignore about the fact to be in any serious relationship at the moment).

OK, so for my food hunting in the most romantic place in the world with someone who’s not even my boyfriend, haha. I've to admit all the stories about Paris are hell true! The city, the people, the romance, the environment…everything is seems to be so perfect. I’m hooked! I always knew that French food would blow me away, though of course I was never to know the extent.

I went to few great & gorgeous restaurants; Horizon Deck, Restaurant & Champagne Bar- The view in here was wonderful. You can eat on the outdoor rooftop terrace or inside under the wood-planked ceiling but either will be delightful. I chose outdoor as I can see the spectacular view of the sea and feel its pride holding all the expensive yatch and cruise ship. Virage- The restaurant is contemporary and all in white colours with fantastic views of the port and the yatchs. La Maison du Caviar- The décor is a piece of art, regaining your appetite after a long day in the meeting. It’s really was a great dinner, delightful experience to eat something that splendid! If you want to taste the finest caviar, this is your nirvana. Le Grill- It’s quite expensive, but for God sake I’m in Paris, who cares! (Mix feelings by the way, looking at the food, hell yea who cares! Looking at the bill… cost me fortune). But have to agree thou, I’m paying not just for the food, I’m paying this elegant restaurant for the location and surroundings too! Square by the Casino, what not to expect uh! And of course I elegantly licked my plate so the kitchen people don’t have to wash it.

After elimination as difficult as the proposal to be cut up (in my work), here are the highlights...
