A Sunday lunch at the Royal Savoy
It was a lovely Sunday at the restaurant of the Royal Savoy Hotel, in Lausanne. A bunch of bloggers and journalists united for sharing a delicious meal altogether. I had the chance to seat with my beloved friend blogger Sofia Clara, and two gentlemen, both journalists. It was an interesting table with many subjects of discussions and of course, some incredible assiettes. We first went for four different entrees. We had some eggs with mushrooms, some quinoa salad including goat cheese and raspberries, knuckle terrine and seasonal asparagus with prosciutto. Each first meal were good and we shared every bite of those tasty plates. The concept is simple, served on Sundays,…

Seafood to die for
Not long ago, I was delightfully invited to a beautiful and famous Zürcher Hotel. Did you guess where? Yes, exactly, it was at The Dolder Grand, which overhangs the city of Zürich. This hotel is reaaaal. No kidding, I had heard so many incredible things about its architecture, interior design, service or the view. I swear everything is true. The view is simply breathtaking, you are over Zürich and its lake, surrounding by a green vegetation and the mountains at the horizons. I was invited to savor some Italian seafood. You already know…, I love good food, and when it comes to fresh and Italian one, I just cannot resist. Who…

À La Fourchette: Basel
You know how much I love pretty and authentic coffee shops and bars. This is an important thing to me. My friends keep asking me more and more about nice places to go for having brunch or lunch in different Swiss cities. If I am travelling I never go to tourist traps. This is the kind of things that I hate, I rather go away from the plotted trails. I just hate those restaurants with no comfiness, no personality, and normal or boring food. If the word “cute” does not come out of my mouth when I am entering or ready to enter in a restaurant, and this is an…

My Royal Savoy Moment
Have you ever heard of the famous Royal Savoy Hotel in Lausanne? It has recently re-opened its doors to the guests and the spa should be available now, or if not, soon to be. As I am from Lausanne, I am pretty familiar with the hotels in the city, even though I had never spent a night at the Royal Savoy before. The hotel is synonym with aristocracy and bourgeoisie from the last century. It is a five stars hotel and has been completely renovated. During the renovation, they had to respect with some particularities of the architecture (classified “B” means they could modify some parts of the architecture). An…

Cafe Henrie
Olalala Cafe Henrie is another new discovery of my latest stay in New York. Be ready, cause I am not done yet to share adventures from my trip in the city. A little Frenchie place in between China Town and Lower East Side. Or the perfect place for having avocado toasts in the coolest atmosphere ever. I was already dying because of the colors of the furnitures in the café. Baby blue turquoise and pastel pink got me crazy and you have not tasted their food yet! Concerning the lighting piece of art, I did not realize what it was until one of the cool waitresses came to me…

Ohla Devocìon
New York is also one of my favorite city for its coffee places and restaurants. I used to love Williamsburg so much, I still do but in a different way. The city changes so much and quickly that sometimes some memories of a neighborhood that you had are not the same anymore when you get back there. It is what happened with Williamsburg. Back in 2011, I was totally in love with this quarter. Small coffee shops, bars, boutiques and vintage stores. Artists were showing off their arts or sculptures on the street and the atmosphere was cheerful and chill out. In 2013, I noticed a soft difference, more tourists…
