Grand Central Market

// G&B coffee //

// Eggslut //

If you are ever in Downtown LA (or DTLA) as they call it here, then you should definitely stop by the historic Grand Central Market - preferably for breakfast. Gran Central Market is known as a downtown landmark since 1917. It brings together a great diversity of amazing (and delicious) food vendors all representative of LA culture.

I thought I would highlight two of these vendors; G&B coffee and Eggslut. I personally don't drink coffee so I can't really judge G&B's coffee. This being said, I have it on good authority that is it pretty incredible. The iced latte (more up my alley) was delicious with just the right amount of ice vs. coffee. Eggslut, was right up my alley and delivered above and beyond what I had imagined. We tried their iconic 'slut' which is actually a coddled egg on top of a smooth potato purée, poached in a glass jar and served with a demi baguette. Mix well the egg into the purée and dip the baguette - pure bliss. If you are looking for something a little heavier then I would heavily suggest the 'fairfax' which consists of the most amazing and perfectly scrambled eggs, chives, cheddar cheese, caramelised onions and sriracha mayo in a warm brioche bun.

There are loads of incredible vendors that I can't wait to check out.

Hotel des Tuileries

I have been slow updating my pictures from my previous trip to Paris but I am delighted to share these pictures of one of our hotels during our stay - l'hotel des Tuileries. Situated at the heart of Paris and just a five minute walk from the famous Tuileries.

This hotel was just renovated and is now an amazing 4 star luxurious hotel at the heart of the fashion and museum district. The hotel is the former home of one of Marie-Antoinette’s lady-in-waiting and you get live streams directly to Versailles. The staff will be delighted to give you a little run-down and historical background to the hotel.

Everything about the hotel is perfect. The only negative point about it would be the non-existent internet connection (well there is one but so slow you can't use it for anything) so don't expect to get any work - blogging - done when you are there.
