Yelp Elites & Cabinet de Sa Majesté

Yelp Elites @ Cabinet de Sa Majeste - De quelle planete es tu -1 One of the May Yelp Elite events was held a the snazzy restaurant near République, Le Cabinet de Sa Majesté. This resto is owned by he folks who run Les Fils à Maman and Le Petit Resto Dans La Prairie (ring a bell?)

This evening was finishing off a beautifully sunny day, which was long-fully waited for by the Parisians. The staff opened up the windows and the fresh spring air oozed it. It was perfection.

What I loved about this restaurant as soon as I walked in was it’s personality. They had vintage shelves left and right with brass and metal touches on the walls. Frames holding insects or mirrors, maps and randomness, with exposed stones on one side… not to mention beautiful lights up around the bar. I was in awe of their mix-matching chairs.

Elodie & Lali had some darn clever Eliter gifts this time; the socks & temporary tattoos are personal favorites of mine. Even the Yelp accessories up for grabs were in adorable buckets and tins on the tables throughout the restaurant. C’était vraiment trop chou.

Yelp Elites @ Cabinet de Sa Majeste - De quelle planete es tu -2 As you can see, the menu that night had quite the list of treats. I had tasted nothing like their cheesecake every before, and they boast about the sablé Petits Lu Nutella et Banane as it is a house specialty. Whenever the food came out on their big wooden plaques, everyone’s cameras and iPhones formed a paparazzi around them. Priceless.

Special thanks to the staff of Le Cabinet de Sa Majesté for organizing such a fantastic event, and also to Elodie & Lali for their Yelp awesomeness.

Yelp Paris Elites @ Café Pinson

Yelp Elites @ Café Pinson - De quelle planete es tu 1 Do you Yelp?

Last week was March’s Yelp Paris Elite event at Café Pinson.. the theme was Detox. It was my first time at Café Pinson, and boy did this evening make me want to go back all the time.

I brought Olivia as my +1 to this event, and we mingled and indulged in delicious organic wines, epicly yumz juices (apple, carrot & lemon, beetroot and something nice, or a green delicoius kale) and other treats. On the menu was butternut squash velouté topped with kale, tofu & spinach madeleines (one of Pinson’s original recipes) and sweet potato falafels. Home run. After gobbling down all of these terribly good snacks, we had the delight of trying something rejuvenating that I had never even heard of before: birch sap. It was slightly chilled and we sipped it in precious Duralex cups.

One of the main things that had me head over heels for Café Pinson was their interior decoration. I just love the simplicity and color tones. From the shelves & knick knacks to the couches to the stools, it was cozy as can. It really is a wholesome place.

And of course, finally, it’s another resto where vegetarians and gluten-free eaters can go at eat freely. (We can all admit that Paris is not the best city for that, so places like this are making it more so!).

In detox we trust. Go ahead, give it a whirl!

Yelp Elites @ Café Pinson - De quelle planete es tu 2 Café Pinson is also getting creative with kale. They refer to it now as Chou Kale as you have probably seen on The Kale Project. It was a tough egg to crack with the French… WHAT DO WE CALL THIS?!

I for one am just glad to see this hearty green more present in this magical city.

Yelp Paris Elites at Café Madam

Do you Yelp?

Yelp Elites - Cafe Madam - De quelle planète es-tu -1

Thursday night was February’s Yelp Elite event at Café Madam with Electric Strawberry Boat. It was a night filled with delicious grub, good music and delicious cocktails. I was a huge fan of the Hendrick’s punch. What’s better than gathering food lovers in a new & fresh Paris café to mingle?

The grub at Café Madam was to die for, and I’m anxious to go back there for breakfast or brunch sometime.

Thanks, Yelp.

A few days ago I popped by the Yelp Winter Food Festival at La Cartonnerie, and it was a hoot! So many passionate Parisian peeps that write the oh so lovely reviews that you can read on Yelp, passionate about sharing their bonnes trouvailles all in one place.

On the food side, there were the folks & goodies from Sugar Daze Cupcakes, The Kale Project, Chacun ses goûts, Tyrrells Crisps, Lomography, Demory, All you need is wine, and a few other fab hotspots…!

What a fabulous evening in such a fantastic venue.
