One thing we enjoy doing on our way to Japan is visiting airport lounges. Not all the lounges are excellent, but it is better than waiting for your flight at the gate. We booked our flights with JAL, and like so many other airlines, JAL was partnering with Air France Lounge. It seemed like all […]
This is my third visit to this dessert heaven. (You can read about my previous visits here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/eclair-bakery/ and http://www.foodlovergirl.com/eclair-bakery-2/) They still have all the yummy looking freshly baked goods and desserts… I hope this place never closes down! And of course the eclairs… I am so glad we don’t live near here, as we would be […]
We first visited Bastille Day celebration last year in 2016, and had a super fun time at their Champagne and Chocolate Tasting event (you can read about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/bastille-day-festival/). Bastille Day, also known as French National Day, is a holiday celebrating the beginning of the French Revolution and the Storming of the Bastille. This […]
I discovered this new-ish French restaurant in West Village. I had dined at this location a few years ago, but it was a completely different restaurant. The staff told us that they have been opened about 7 months ago. It had beautiful exterior, lots of greenery, red awning, and red brick building. I say they […]
The last restaurant I visit during my stay in Pittsburgh was a spot that was on my radar from day one. This restaurant used to be something else, but then was reborn as a French restaurant a few weeks before my visit. It had nice outdoor seating, but my colleague and I decided to sit […]
Ever since I saw some photos of melted cheese being drizzled over yummy food from this restaurant, I have been wanting to go for a visit. About a year later, we finally gotten around to visiting them! It had crowd of people waiting outside for a table, but since we had reservation, we had no […]
If you are a fan of Eataly, European food/groceries, or French food/groceries, then head over to Boorkfield Place near World Trade Center for Le District. It is basically a French version of Eataly. If you have the time, you can go visit both Eataly downtown (you can read more about it here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/eataly-nyc-downtown/) and Le […]
One of my favorite dessert is eclair. It is like an elongated version of cream puff, which is another one of my favorite. When I heard there is a sweet shop who focuses on eclairs, I had to go there. We made it right before they were closing. Well, ok, we got there when they […]
Since the very first I had Croque Madame many years ago, I have been a big fan. I have had many Croque Madame at many different restaurants/cafes. Some good, some not-so-good, and some amazingly delicious ones. It is just such a nice, comforting dish, especially for brunch. Few months ago, I found this French bistro-cafe-bar […]
This is the second review of this sweet spot (you can read my first review here: http://www.foodlovergirl.com/chocnyc/), we had to go back get some more sweet goodness. This time, I was going for their eclairs. They looked glittery gold sweet jewel in the refrigerated show window. We chose Pistachio and Chocolate Éclair ($3.75/each) to go so […]
