I have to admit I didn’t spend enough time eating when visiting Paris, I was always on the go. It is a big shame since Paris has some of the best restaurants in the world. I did however manage to have the best macaroons at Laduree.

I also loved the cafes in Paris. I really enjoyed just having time out with  a nice coffee and just watching the locals talk french. I love the chaos inside a Parisian Cafe, it seems to be a meeting place for people to exchange life stories similar to hairdressers in Australia. The waiters seem to know the regulars and what the customers are up to.

So, a typical breakfast/lunch:

• Coffee and Croissant. Croissants do taste better in Paris. My other favourite was Pain Au Chocolat (Chocolate Croissant) – I’m not a big chocolate lover but I tend to have a soft spot for this pastry .

Coffee

Croissant and crusty french bread with butter and jam

• Salad Nicoise – tuna, green beans, eggs salad

A variation of Nicoise Salad

You can always opt for a Steak and Chips if you're homesick
