Here’s the final installment from Dr HH’s trip to Paris last year. I’ve been dazzled by all the good food he had!

I had one last morning in Paris and as the weather was good I decided to enjoy some parks. I started with another Land and Monkeys breakfast that I have already covered. After some outdoor time, I went for brunch at Aujourd’hui Demain Cafe.

It was a Sunday morning and it was very busy, I definitely recommend booking ahead (which I did the evening before, so I don’t think you need to worry about booking too far in advance).

I went for the brunch set deal, which meant I got a main, a dessert, hot drink, cold drink, and a mini cinnamon roll. The cinnamon roll was just a little bite and was perfectly fine.

I ordered eggs Benedict as my main dish and it was a tasty dish. It was half an English muffin, topped with salmon, cream cheese, egg, and hollandaise. Everything worked well together, the salmon gave a nice bit of smokiness and there were good flavours and textures from the egg and hollandaise. The hollandaise was very cold though, like it had just come out of the fridge. The potatoes on the side were nice but it was a bit of a shame to find half my plate was salad. I of course would have appreciated both halves of the muffin.

I was in a bit of a rush so I got my dessert to go and I ordered a coco pandan, which looks like it was just a special for May. This was delicious. It was a coconut and pandan sponge cake with a pandan whipped ganache topped with a coconut panna cotta and a bit of raspberry coulis. In the middle of all this was a crunchy coconut biscuit thing. There were a load of different flavours and textures in here and they all worked really well together.

For drinks I got a cafe latte, which was fine but a little bit small and a bissap, which was an infusion of hibiscus, mint and orange blossom. This was perfectly pleasant too.

That brings an end to the tales of my Paris trip. I had a great time with lots of delicious food and some excellent tourist activities. I look forward to going back and eating all the pastries again.
