I remember wanting to eat at Patisserie Boisserie Restaurant & Patisserie the last time I was at Carmel but I was too full. This time, I didn’t care – I had to go. I went in at full force, even though I had just finished eating at Carmel Belle. I was so stuffed after eating [...]

I’ve been meaning to grab a bite at Absinthe Brasserie & Bar for a while now, ever since I watched Jamie Lauren battle it out in Top Chef season 5. I went in for brunch and was hoping they would still have the cold corn chowder that Jamie would always make on the show, but [...]

I like eating Croque Madame but I often find it too salty salty in a lot of places. Yes, that’s just how ham is. But the one at Gamine was just right! It also wasn’t way cheesy like at most places. It was the perfect amount. Gamine’s fried calamari was excellent too – lightly battered, [...]

Chaelsey Patissier is a Korean-owned French bakery, and it’s pretty good. They seem to specialize in coffee buns, and in different flavors as well – green tea and chocolate. The green tea was a little on the heavy side, but you can definitely taste the matcha. It was also had a cream cheese filling. The [...]

Le Pain Quotidien is home of so many delicious foods to eat and to take home. What I really enjoyed there was their variety of spreads, specifically, their Brunette, which is a praline spread, kind of like peanut butter or nutella. It’s something you definitely can’t get just anywhere. Their jams are also very fresh [...]

I had my first caviar experience at Petrossian Paris Boutique & Cafe, but to be honest, I really don’t know much about caviar so I can’t give it much of a critique, though I did like it. Our original intentions of dining at Petrossian was just for dessert, but Petrossian is known for caviar, so [...]

I wanted to take Holly to one of my favorite lunch spots in the city since she’s only in town for a couple days, so I took her to Chez Maman. I picked that place because I figured it would be pretty empty during a weekday, but no, it was still packed. Don’t these people [...]

This was my first time having savory items at Patisserie Philippe, but I wasn’t surprised at all at how good they were since they know how to do pastries right. I really liked their quiche lorraine (quiche with bacon and onions). It was light and not too salty. Just right. Their other savory pastry that [...]

We grabbed some crepes at Cafe Breton. You just can’t go wrong with nutella crepes; however, they had something that I’m not used to seeing in American menus: mango crepes. The crepe is filled with sliced mangos and heated so it’s nice and hot, topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and covered with [...]

We went to Posh II (the second location of Posh) for dessert. Their desserts didn’t have much of a wow factor, although their hot apple pie drink really did taste like a warm apple pie, but in drink form. Everything else (chocolate with ice cream, yogurt drink, crepe) was okay. 台北市大安區敦化南路一段190巷42號 – 02-2773-0568
