"Unboxing" Laduree Macaroons in Paris!

This is the official "unboxing" of Laduree macaroons. A dedication to Sukhjit (@sukhjit) who told me I must go visit this place (unboxing goes out to you), and to Alex (@ledretch) who took me to the wonderful little Laduree store! My word... after all those macaroons, I was feeling a little drunk from all the sugar!

Enjoy the experience- it was absolutely mindblowing.

Paris- Picnic in my Hotel Room

Welcome to my wonderful little getaway in Paris- my hotel room picnic! Filled with crepes, foie gras, quince paste, baguette, fromage, caviar, terrines, and much more! The market is my absolute favorite place in Paris- everything I need to nurture my foodie heart. :) Enjoy the moments with me... <3

L'Express, Montreal

L'Express is a fantastic little restaurant on St. Denis in Montreal. Hidden away with secrets such as foie gras terrine, rillettes, chicken liver pate with pistachios, and bone marrow served with grey sea salt, it's definitely a treasure worth visiting. Reservations needed due to popularity. Featuring @ladyleet!

Le Coupole, Paris

An adventure in Paris with @ledretch leads us to Le Coupole, a cute little restaurant off the Montparnasse metro exit. Famous for their seafood platters, foie gras, and more, we had an excellent meal consisting of lobster, smoked salmon, foie gras, and wine. Enjoy. :)
