The Drake Hotel

I’ve always been a big fan of the Drake Hotel (@thedrakehotel). It’s such a versatile destination in the city – you can enjoy brunch on the street-level patio (with the most amazing blueberry scones, I might add), enjoy a drink in their lounge or get a bit of sun on their rooftop patio, the Sky Yard.

[Paris] L’Avant Comptoir

Mike and I arrived in Paris hungry in the late afternoon. We had dinner reservations later in the evening and just wanted a light bite to eat to tide us over. If you ever find yourself in the same predicament, L’Avant Comptoir is the perfect spot.

[Lyon] Le Bouchon des Filles

Having already tried a traditional bouchon in Lyon, we decided to check out Le Bouchon des Filles, a restaurant serving up regional specialties with a modern twist.

[Lyon] La Mère Brazier

La Mère Brazier was founded in 1921 by Eugénie Brazier, the first woman ever to receive three Michelin stars. In 2008, Mathieu Viannay became the new executive chef and proprietor with hopes of bringing the restaurant back to its heyday.

[Lyon] Café des Fédérations

You can’t come to Lyon without visiting a bouchon…unless you’re a vegetarian! These types of restaurants serve traditional Lyonnais fare. Think rich, heavy and offal.
