Food adventures in Melbourne and wherever the tummy goes
I’ve always wanted to go to a Michelin Starred restaurant and as we were in Paris, Mr D found one for me, Benoit. Benoit is a one starred restaurant is one of many restaurants by Alaine Ducasse. Mr D picked Benoit because it has been around for over 100 years and it was ADORABLE (that probably wasn’t a reason why Mr D picked it though…). He made a booking months prior via email and he had to confirm the booking 24 hours before our reservation.
Mr D’s cousin (yes, another fam bam outing) took us out for dinner and you guessed it, FRENCH CUISINE! Through the hustle and bustle of Place De Clichy was a cute restaurant with neon lights called Le Bistro Melrose.
While wondering around with Miss Tour Guide, I started to get hungry which meant I needed to be fed and quick! Miss Tour Guide took us to her fav Japanese joint, Atsu Atsu and we got a table immediately.
We met up with Mr D’s friend, Miss Tour Guide and she took us to Galeries Lafayette and showed us her fav macrons in town – Pierre Herme.
Mr D’s fam bam decided to drop by and have lunch with us after we shopped and they decided on Ristorante Del Arte to prepare us for Italy.
It was our last breakfast in London and Mr D knew the drill, we only eat whatever food is known in the country which we’re in. So off we go on our last breakfast adventure and we stopped at Tanner and Co. Since it was only 8AM it wasn’t super busy and we got a table straight away.
As we were wondering around Chinatown we bumped into Bubba Gump Shrimp and Mr D was ecstatic and of course we had to go in.
Mr D made me walk a gazillion miles to get to Shake Shack since he wasn’t into food, it was very rare for him to want to go somewhere so I sucked it up and trudged behind him. Shake Shack is an American Burger joint and has opened their wings internationally and is located in The Piazza at Covent Garden.
Whilst shopping around Covent Garden we were getting quite peckish (almost dinner time!) and Mr D spotted Five Guys and rushed in. It was super packed and we stood at the back seeing how it all works and having free peanuts (freebies!! I like!!).
Seeing as we were in London, I made reservations at The Dorchester for Afternoon tea since I couldn’t be in the UK and NOT have high tea (how crazy!). We got there a tad early (15 minutes isn’t THAT early…) and waited for our table to be ready.
