Famous Hot chocolate in Paris

by Lori and Michelle on April 6, 2010

Hello again friends,

Well Gary and I have been busy over here walking around everyone here in Paris and enjoying all the beautiful sites.  Yesterday flew by and we only have one more day here in Paris :(

We been walking around and talking about how we both can not believe we are here!

My breakfast each morning has been a not so great green smoothie. I have been blending up grapefruit and my fresh herbs that I got from the local farmers market here yesterday.

My little Tri-Best blender has been working fine, it just took me sometime to get the hang of using. But I think it will work out great for the rest of the trip.

I have been snacking on various of raw crackers and raw flat breads :) Great for traveling I must say. Gary likes snacking on them too!

Lunch was not so great – therefore I did not take a picture. But it was ok because dinner was delicious!!!!!!

We went to the Louvre and had a great time

Both of us being silly! IMG_4032

Than it was time to leave the Louvre and go walk around more

We stopped  by a famous restaurant and known for their hot chocolate!

IMG_4071Angelina is the name and oh boy did it have delicious hot chocolate and so cute inside. Though we had to wait about 25 minutes – there was a line!!!

IMG_4068Gary waiting in line! So nice of him ;)

Look at all the yummy desserts – though I can not have any :( But maybe that is a good thing!!!

IMG_4078And the French Macaroons

IMG_4082Not the typical macaroon you see us eating ;) Though they look delicious! Loved all the different flavors they offered.

Time to get some hot chocolate and tea!

IMG_4083Gary can hardly wait!

So thick and creamy. Gary loved it!!!! Now that is what I call hot chocolate!

I got some green tea

IMG_4096Seriously the best green tea I ever drank!

After a delicious afternoon snack we walked around some more before dinner. We ended going back to the Louvre to walk around some more.

Ok now onto dinner!

Thanks to a reader we went to Le Grenier De Notre Dame – a vegetarian restaurant. It was FABULOUS!  :) Gary and I had a wonderful time there and the food was great!!!!

IMG_4110So cute and quaint!

IMG_4124We sat upstairs

Got some glasses of wine. Not everything on the menu was vegan though they did offer vegan options. And not everything was gluten free because they did use soy sauce and seitan (wheat). Therefore I went with a salad :)

IMG_4117Gary’s dinner! I can not remember what he got but he loved it!

IMG_4116I got an endive salad with walnuts, hazelnuts, oranges, peppers, olives and fresh herbs. It was DELICIOUS!!!!!

IMG_4119This meal was much better than lunch.

Walked around some more

IMG_4126Came back and drank some more wine and snacked on some broken lemon cookies

And watched New Moon!

IMG_4130Not a bad way to end the night!

Till next time,
