Eating and drinking my way around Paris. No, not really. In truth, I rarely eat big meals. I'm much more of a "little and often" kind of person. Paris was very expensive this visit. And very, very hot. Which meant we had many stop-offs for small meals of iced drinks and sweet treats. We did eat in restaurants but I ended up not photographing those. Here is a small selection of the food and drink I consumed...
The best breakfast of the trip - Cafe Au Lait, Pressed Orange Juice and Crepes with Salted Caramel Butter
Häagen Dazs, Champs Élysées - Caramel Explosion
Unisex, Champs Élysées - Small dish of nuts; Vodka, ginger, pineapple cocktail; Cosmopolitan cocktail; Iced Cappuccino (THE BEST iced cappuccino I have ever tasted!)
Yet another Cafe Au Lait at a pavement cafe - every cup I had throughout my visit was perfection
Organic Cafe, Galleries Lafayette - Hampstead Tea's Organic Darjeeling Cherry Iced Tea and a Raspberry Crumble
Bateaux Mouche - A can of Lipton's Ice Tea for the river cruise
Amorino, le Marais - A scoop each of Amaretto and Coconut gelato - the best ice-cream
A mini Heinz Ketchup for late-night fries

Oooh, love the idea of the crepes with salted caramel butter. Might have to try and track these down!!
I love this post, I rarely eat big meals too but I'm always snacking, especially if I'm on holiday! Those crepes look amazing, and cafe au lait's are my favourite coffee drink. Whenever I'm in France I always get cans of ice tea - they just remind me of holidays! x
Those pancakes look SO good! And cold fruit tea in a carton? Amazing!
The breakfast sounds amazing, as does the gelato.
drooling right now!
This post is amazing! Even the ketchup looks so sophisticated.
You always make me so hungry even the ketchup looks delightful xoxo
I prefer to eat little and often too. It keeps my energy levels up!
I love your 'what I eat' photos, they are such a great sneak peek into someone's life.x.

If i have to choose, i would visit again and again Madrid, bue France it is very cute.
thanks everyone for enjoying my calorific food :-)
fashion, art... - it was a little too hot for me, i was very much expecting autumn
sacramento - it is not usually so expensive, i guess the euro is not being kind to us at the moment
my passport to style - congratulations also!
kirsty - i'm back now but it was lovely, thank you
helena - i have never before been to madrid, only barcelona. paris always has the number one spot in my heart though.

Oh no! Why do I always look at your blog before breakfast?? Now I can't for the life of me decide what I want to eat first today, it all looks amazing. I love your food posts! I was in Paris too recently and found eating pretty expensive... luckily I was staying with a friend so could have Breakfast and dinner at her place but the rest of the time I I pretty much lived off baguette and cakes!
I am literally drooling at my screen, gorgeous!

Stunning food and stunning photography! x
just posted a big long comment and it got wiped! damn it. i was saying that i really love your outlook on life, taking precious time to enjoy the very little things i life which make up your life as a whole. appreciating the small things is something i can get right on board with, it really is the small details that does it for me. taking the time to enjoy them is just excellent and I'm guilty of rushing them every now and again. I'm going to make the effort to thing more about the moment and nothing else.
glad you enjoyed my creation, again, the small details. and yeah, 60 is an amazing feat
Oh wow, looks amazing! So much delicious food - and I like your little and often approach too!
Oh... yum yum and yum! Everything looks so tasty, but especially that last pot of ice cream. The biscuit! Lovely.
Oh I'm craving a lovely hot drink and a plate of salty fries and ketchup right now. An odd combination but hey, that's what your post does to me!
It all looks so yummy, I can feel my waist expanding just looking at it!
