Sweeten up your Paris trip
Even if you’re not a sweet tooth, these places will make you change your mind. From coffee to excellent desserts, Paris can offer a special treat and satisfy your demands.
Opera Starbucks
Let’s start with simplicity enriched by Paris's beauty. Many may argue that Starbucks doesn’t belong in the category of a culturally significant place, as it is a worldwide chain. However, there is a particular Starbucks in Paris, where you go simply for its aesthetic.
One of the most beautiful Starbucks in the world is located at 26 Avenue de l’Opéra, 75001, Paris. The interior is decorated with golden chandeliers, and furnished to copy the style of the most famous Opera House Palais Garnier. So even if your day is too short to attend opera performances, but you still long to feel like you’re watching one while sipping your favourite coffee, Opera Starbucks is a place for you.
However, be ready to test your reflexes as it is usually packed with people and you have to act fast to get a table inside. We recommend going there during lunchtime on weekdays, as French people are not found in cafés during midday.
Taste of Lebanon
Lebanon and France have a very close relationship and with Lebanese cuisine being full of extraordinary flavours, it has a profound place in France. When strolling down the streets of Paris, you can find a Lebanese restaurant on every corner. One of them, however, won first place in originality and exquisite taste.
Glace Bachir, ice cream from Lebanon, will capture your taste cells and hold them forever. They offer several flavours - rose petals, pistachio, almond, blackberry, vanilla, strawberry, apricot, lemon, intense chocolate, milk chocolate and coffee.
However, if you want to be taken to Lebanon directly, don’t hesitate to taste Achta flavour, typical in the Middle East. Each ice cream is put in a big container full of chopped pistachios which are put directly in your ice cream. Don’t get discouraged if you see the long queue in front of the shop, the employees will take your order and payment while you’re waiting for your ice cream and give you free samples of different flavours of the ice cream.
Don’t forget to add this place to your Paris wish-list - 58 Rue Rambuteau.
Top secret café - keep it to yourself
Do you want to enjoy the best view of Parisian scenery while having a coffee in one hand and a croissant in the other? If you see yourself in this picture, make sure not to omit the visit to Gale. Rie LaFayette Haussmann.
The Galerie is already in high demand among shopaholics, as it offers a selection of exclusive fashion and accessories from designers and it is one of the most famous store departments in Europe. The most exclusive item to be found there is not a piece of clothing, but the view of the Eiffel Tower in the Café on the top floor of Galerie Lafayette, located at 40 Boulevard Haussmann. The prices in the Café are not higher than in a regular Parisian Café, without offering such a beautiful scenery.
We hope you will enjoy your stay in Paris, especially knowing the best coffee and dessert selection now. After empowering yourself with coffee and Bachir’s ice cream in the morning, you wonder where to find a place to eat. The best selection of international cuisine will be provided in our next article, so stay tuned, fasten your seatbelts, and enjoy travelling with us!
