  • Lou Lou Paris: If there is a spot to make your content dreams come true in Paris look no further than this restaurant. Best tip, book for lunch as it offers two separate dining options but to be seated in one of the most spectacular settings on a Paris lawn.

  • A trip to Paris for the Olympics would not be complete without a cuisine outing at Maison de l'Amérique Latine. Above and beyond five star service with an authentic taste of Parisian cuisine.

  • L’Entredgeu: A hidden gem of a restaurant within the Parisian cuisine more tailored to the sweet tooth lovers. This is an experience among all, and chef David Lebovitz does not disappoint.
