Paris Spring Excursion
Close your eyes and imagine. Imagine Paris in the spring: cool sunny morning , speaking French everywhere you turn, the beautiful buildings, the smell of butter in the air, the busy metro, the accordion player, the little poodles, the corner cafés, the boulevards and the alleys. Now imagine being there already with a detailed plan to guide you to the best local culinary experience that you can possibly have for this vacation. Imagine waking up... Read More
Two Years To EatingCookingFooding!
This month my blog turned two years old. I can’t believe it’s been already two years! This year I have written 93 posts and got about 262 comments. I had almost 11K visits from 6.5K unique visitors doubling last year‘s statistics! Launched a Facebook Fan Page with 278 fans (go and Like it if you haven’t already!) and cooked and hosted 5 culinary events! It was a busy year. For the occasion, I selected 12 posts representing...

L’Avant Comptoir, Size Matters!
The very last restaurant I went in Paris was l’Avant Comptoir (meaning: ‘the front counter’). I warned about the size of the place, but still I got some suggestions to join me there. I think most people could not comprehend just how small is this place. It’s tiny! There is not a single chair there, it fits only about ten customers standing up very close together. Nevertheless, I really didn’t want to miss that one! It’s... Read More
Au Passage – By Night, Tasting 18 Dishes!
I came back to Au Passage later that week when Elizabeth invited me to have lunch with her family before both of us are leaving Paris. I was bummed to get the invitation on the same week I already ate there so I asked if they can make it an early dinner instead. There was no problems to change it from lunch to dinner at the same day, even though we were 6 people. That was really nice. At dinner time the place changes and becomes a chic french style...

Au Passage – By Day
It’s about time for me to tell you about my visit to Au Passage. I visited two times in the same week, and I’m glad I did. It allowed me to understand the whole concept of the place, a concept I adore. Au Passage is yet another tiny place, located in the 11th district which seems to be filling with these little bistros-gastronomic. I met Rob, Ihsuan and her friend Winnie there for the latest lunch possible around 14:00. Tucked away in... Read More
Goodbye Paris Picnic Party
I’m writing these lines back in my old room in Tel-Aviv, Israel, after living one year in Paris, finishing my culinary school program. Leaving my life in Paris behind was not easy at all. Throughout this year I grew fonder and fonder of the city and I left after falling desperately in love with Paris. It was’t “love at first sight”, as some of my best friends already know, it took time for the city to “grow on me”.... Read More
Rino, Tiny But Full Of Surprises
I had a guest from Israel in Paris, Shlomo, and I reserved us a table at Rino, a gastronomic bistro French-Italian fusion style restaurant. It’s located in the 11th district which seems to be filling with cute little restaurants and pubs. The place is tiny, squeezing in about 40 guests maximum, the luckiest got a table outside, it was the perfect weather to enjoy the evening breeze, and whoever reserved a table of four could ask to sit in...

Le Camion Qui Fume
One rainy morning (yes, rainy. And yes, morning!!) I woke up and went to Place de Madeleine to get a good spot on the queue to Le Camion qui fume (“The smokey truck”). I was supposed to meet Danny there at 11:30 and it was early enough, the queue wasn’t long at all. But it was awfully early for a burger and Danny, who came with the Velib (bike rental in Paris), could not find a free spot to return the bike and circled the square... Read More
Le Troquet, A Ride Back In Time
After a week in London I’m back to writing in full speed! I have so much to write about! Where I left off was already two weeks ago, so here we go. Within my Paris Restaurant Marathon I took two very unrelated friends of mine to an evening together at Le Troquet. I had so many restaurant reservations this week that I mixed up the times and thought we’re meeting at 21:30 instead of 21:00. I apologized but they had to meet and start talking... Read More
Le Chateaubriand: The Good, The Bad and The Boring.
The most anticipated visit in this restaurant marathon was the famous Le Chateaubraind. People have been mentioning it and talking about it since I came to Paris, Shane and Fabrice recommended me about the most amazing meal they had there, so many praises made this place a must visit and raised my expectations. It’s a bit pricey (60 euro per person without wine), but for 8 amazing dishes, I thought it was probably worth it. But sadly, I... Read More
Philippine Independence Day In Paris
Last week I spontaneously decided to go to the Philippine Independence day in Paris. My Philippines friends sort of invited me and I joined them to what turned out to be a very interesting anthropological experience in Philippines culture and gastronomy. I don’t know exactly what I ate there… Sorry for that. The event took place in a sports park, and as soon as I got closer I realized how crowded it was. Thousands of Philippines.... Read More
Emergency Restaurants Post
Okay it’s not a real emergency but an important message before I leave Paris. Maybe you have noticed already that I opened a Facebook Fan Page for Eating Cooking Fooding this week! It’s very recommended to join the page by clicking “like” in the box to the right or going to the page and then clicking “like”. If you’ve seen it by now you probably also noticed I’m looking for friends who wants to join... Read More
