Paris: Day 2

That was a great day in Paris! I had so much fun today and so much shopping! First place where I went was the Chanel boutique on the Rue Cambon (I was writing about it yesterday) and Lena was looking at a great little blue jacket… Then the next destination was KENZO! I love Kenzo! All the clothes were so great- I bought cool bordeaux shoes with orange sole from the runway and a beautiful scarf in green and orange colours! Here are the pics from Place Madeleine boutique-

Then I walked to Gucci and Lanvin (photos were yesterday) and visited Givenchy on Saint Honore.

I thought this jewellery at Givenchy was great:

After shopping I went to the L’Avenue on Montaigne. And the food was there as always delicious! I ordered great chicken spring rolls and butterfly chicken:

After I had a long walk on Avenue Montaigne: first I went to Celine, then to brand new Chanel- that was amazing. The walls were gold, tables were gold, chimneys, Chanel Boys, little black jackets…Aah… Then I went to the Market Montaigne (cool shop, but no sizes) and at the end in the Dolce&Gabanna! Oh and there was also Balenciaga and Givenchy.

And for the end I went to the Camelia in Mandarin Oriental. Very delicious food but I will not put any photos… But I recommend it a lot!

Paris: Day 1

So here I am in Paris! And I am so excited! After a long travel from Berlin, I was kind of really exhausted so it was great when I arrived to Mandarin Oriental Hotel on Saint Honore. My room has the biggest terrace in hotel (YAY!) and a great view on the garden. However the suite is so narrow (NAY!) that I barely put all my luggages on the right place.
For my first walk with the dog I visited few of the shops and took photos of the windows!

Lanvin (the queen of the best windows in Paris!)
And then for the first time in my life I went to the Chanel’s boutique on Rue Cambon and saw those legendary stairs were Coco Chanel was sitting!

After I went to the Costes Hotel (Unfortunately no sits were avable in restaurant that is ultra trendy) and took some picture of the Lounge, flower shop and fragrance shop.

And before the dinner I found a great art gallery with this:

And now the key of the day. Sur Mesure. This restaurant in my hotel that should be the “best” restaurant in Paris was… bad. First of all I ordered the 9 meal menu with super small portions. And here are the 5 essentials of the dinner:

20121102-111444 PM.jpg
1. Structured and Destructed Turnip- no comment. 4/10

20121102-111620 PM.jpg
2. Pressed Foie Gras, smoked eel- Oh why, why? How I HATE EEL! And the worst thing is, it was mixed with foie gras… 2/10

20121102-111816 PM.jpg
3. Soy and Oyster Risotto- interesting, interesting…I didn’t know it is possible to make a risotto without rice! 7/10

20121102-112003 PM.jpg
4. Lobster- the best of all! 8/10

20121102-112101 PM.jpg
5. Sweet Bento and Ylang and Ylang- a very sweet dessert from Japan! 7/10
I don’t recommend this restaurant. And here is the interior (really out of this world):
