Missing Paris

Good morning everyone,

Woke up today missing one of my favorite cities to stroll, shop, eat...and so much more. 
The lovely Paris, always ready to be photographed! Here are a few shots of one of my recent trips there! 







Pauline is a lovely and charming lady who at her very advanced age is still selling paintings in the street. Sad I know. Her painting of lavender flowers' jar is on my bedroom wall, in a matching purple frame.


Macaroons are such a coquete pastrie, it makes sence that the famous  La Durée store matched it!

This gorgeous lady is my mom, walking alongside the Seine on a pretty sunny day, near Pont Des Arts, the famous bridge with the lockers you see on the movies.



The timeless Polidor - my favorite restaurant in Paris



Remember Last Tango in Paris? For me,l one of the most beautiful bridges in Paris

Paris - for a first timer

Image
I am starting this blog with one of my favorite cities in the world, Paris! Also one of my biggest friends is travelling there in a few months and asked me for some tips so here we go:  Paris was the first place I ever travelled outside of Portugal by airplane. I was about 4 or 5 and I spent a few days with my parents in the city. Of course all I remember from this trip was walking around a lot, eating at McDonald’s because I found the food strange and going to the only place that will overshadow Paris for any child (and even some adults) - EuroDisney ! You see even a current travelling lover had to learn how to travel at some point :) Many years passed, I have been to Paris another 5 times and I can say, without a doubt, that the more you go to city of lights, the more you love it! Every time you visit there is something new to do…a new shop, a new trendy restaurant, a new bar, a temporary art exposition you simply must see! And then there are all the timeless things of Paris

Did anybody say Sushi?

Image
As a pseudo sushi lover, trying new places is always great fun! You can find a lot of sushi places in both Lisbon and Cascais and not for a very high price! Sushi and Gin This place used to be known as Infusão. This new project of mixing sushi and the gin trend, has only started a few months ago. Still for me the best thing in this place is the sushi! There is a all you can eat menu for 20€ and the sushi has good quality and is delicious! The bad part? I loved the idea of Sushi and Gin as I love both sushi and gin but I dont think it's working out the best. The first and second time I went there there were only a couple of gin brands and no gin bar that could make you a good mixure! There is only one brand of wine so the alternative is also not so good! Again the sushi is great!!!

Girls sunday lunch at Capricciosa

Image
Capricciosa Cascais   is a nice spot right in the center of Cascais and above the beach. The food is good but not amazing. The best thing about this restaurant really is its great view of the ocean and the price, which is quite average. Our Sunday girly lunch was there this weekend, proof that even in winter sunny days you can take advantage of their terrace! I must say I have had a very bad experience at Capricciosa, a group bday dinner that went totally south and had me avoiding Capricciosa for quite a while. However I decided to give it another try, especially because of the restaurant’s incredible location. The past two times I went, the service was okay and the pizzas were quite good. The trick to enjoy even more Capricciosa is going for lunch (so you can enjoy the view better) and sit outside (inside it gets a bit too loud with the families that bring children). Overall the very busy staff is friendly. The simple red and white decoration is easy to enjoy, especial
