[Paris Café] French Tea House ‘CARETTE’ in Paris☕️🇫🇷

Timhotel Tour Eiffel offers a unique Junior Suite that boasts an unobstructed view of the Eiffel Tower and features two balconies. Due to its exclusivity, booking this suite can be challenging, as there is only one available. The suite is situated in an exceptional location, and while a standard room is priced at less than double the suite's rate, the hotel maintains a three-star rating. The cost for this remarkable view starts at £220, though prices may vary by season. Guests often find that for stunning views and prime locations, they are willing to pay rates comparable to those of four-star hotels, even at a three-star establishment. This video is from December 2024. I celebrated Christmas in Paris, marking my first visit to Carette, despite having been to Paris eight times before. The ambiance was inviting, friendly, and pleasantly relaxed. This establishment is certainly not a typical tourist trap. We did spend about 30 minutes in line, but it was well worth the wait, and the experience was nothing short of sensational. A big thank you to the waiter(whose name I unfortunately forgot) for delivering outstanding service—so attentive, friendly, and professional during the entire experience. Given the chilly weather, we opted to dine indoors. The renowned hot chocolate is a must-try; it is exceptionally sweet, so one cup is more than sufficient! Personally, I prefer it with about 20% less sweetness. The dark chocolate is rich, slightly bitter and not overly sweet, which I thoroughly enjoyed! The cakes I ordered were all freshly made and of high quality, and I loved every bite. The setting was delightful, and the location is incredibly convenient, with a viewing platform for the Eiffel Tower just a short distance away. Additionally, it’s an easy walk to the Eiffel Tower, offering great photo opportunities. I found myself wanting to order many items from the menu. If you’re considering a visit, I highly recommend it! This café truly excels in offering amazing pastries, coffee, and their famous hot chocolate. For two people, we enjoyed three cakes for £21 and the famous hot chocolate for £25, total £46.

Overall, I would rate this experienced an 8 out of 10. It’s a great idea to stop by before dinner and savour the moment. Good bye, my friends. I hope you enjoyed watching our time in Carette Paris and found my honest reviews helpful. It's just a short stroll to the Eiffel Tower. Looking forward to seeing you all in the next video. Good night and sweet dreams.

Dining at Madame Brasserie on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower

The first level of the Eiffel Tower has a professional photographer available both inside the restaurant and outside, giving you the chance to snap as many photos as you like at no cost. Afterward, you can choose your favourite image in the photo studio machine and get it ‘pay for print’.

Just go for it! Even if you can't dance, be bold and let loose when the music hits you. It's all about having a good time and spreading joy to yourself and those you care about. Enjoy the moment!

I arrived early at 10:30 AM, to get a head start. Unfortunately, the security staff wouldn’t let me in since my lunch reservation at Madame Brasserie is at 1:30 PM, so I need to come back at 1 PM. I asked at the ticket reception if I could grab breakfast and lunch there, but they told me I couldn’t use the same lift tickets for both.

Fortunately, the ticket staff were really nice and called the Madame Brasserie in front of me and required to change my lunch reservation to 12 PM. The following day, my husband and I were eager to enjoy breakfast, but we couldn't find any options on social media. We were excited to try something new and see what it was all about. The website only permits reservations for the second floor as the minimum choice. Be sure to check out my breakfast experience at the Eiffel Tower; it was unforgettable and absolutely worth it!

Upon your arrival, the waiter greeted you with a warm smile and escorted you to your table. The lovely server named Meryem promptly inquired whether we preferred white or red wine, as well as champagne, which was included in our MADAME WITH DRINKS PACKAGES. A choice of two difference of wines, starter, main course, dessert and hot drinks.

We encountered a lovely French couple who were incredibly friendly and easy to chat with. It’s great to make new friends! While the lovely server provided you with a QR code, allowing you to take a photo with your camera to place your order directly from your phone screen. We had an amazing dining experience in the captivating atmosphere of the iconic first floor of the Eiffel Tower.

Meryem was incredibly professional and friendly, guiding us through our lunch and even assisting us in capturing some great video moments. The main dish features a delightful tasty lunch meat pie with a fresh side salad, grilled scallops, butternut risotto topped with pumpkin seeds, fennel, and cazette flowers. It's creamy, comforting, and absolutely delicious, bursting with cosy flavours.

The highlight of the meal was the Beef Bourguignon, which was incredibly tender and perfectly balanced in flavour—not too salty or greasy. It was freshly cooked and beautifully melted in my mouth. The sauce was rich and hearty, making every bite a delight that brought a smile to my face. It truly ranks among the best meals I've experienced, especially after dining more than 15 different cafes and Michelin restaurants during my trip to Paris.

For dessert, we have a chocolate and praline tart along with Paris Brest. They taste amazing—light, not overly sweet, and perfectly balanced in flavour. It's totally worth it. The food was outstanding, and we can’t wait to come back! I gave it a perfect 5-stars rating and scored it a solid 9 out of 10. Total came to €201.20, which includes drinks and a lift tickets for 2 to the first floor.

In addition, the staff was exceptionally well-trained and professional, the view was simply stunning, the food was outstanding, and the overall atmosphere was nothing short amazing!

My husband Paul left his DJI Pocket 3 behind. Thankfully, it wasn't stolen; otherwise, I would have lost not only the camera but also the wonderful memories from our trip to Paris. This time, I'm excited to dining of Michelin two-star Thierry Marx of Madame Brasserie for the first time, and I made a reservation through their official website at nd opted for a table in The Cœur Brasserie area. The indoor seating is perfect for soaking in the restaurant's cozy and inviting vibe.

One important note is that you should arrive 30 minutes prior to your reservation time, as the total dining duration is 1 hour and 30 minutes. The extra 30 minutes allows for any delays, and you will be reminded 15 minutes before your time is up that other guests will be arriving, necessitating a quick clean-up.

Since, I had a wonderful dining experience last year of 2024 at Le Jules Verne, a two-Michelin-star restaurant on the second floor of the Eiffel Tower. You should definitely take a look at the video if you haven't watched it yet!

Showing affection to your wife through kisses and hugs every day is truly essential. It can enhance your relationship in numerous ways. These gestures elevate your mood because kissing releases those wonderful feel-good hormones. Additionally, they express your desire and attraction, which helps maintain that vibrant romantic connection. I make a commitment to my smart husband, ItalyPaul to smile more often and embrace happiness, to let go of anger, and to maintain a positive outlook as always.

Reviewing the BEST SUNDAY ROAST CARVERY in the UK!

Each year, it is a tradition for us to dine at the Jug and Bottle Stonehouse Carvery on Christmas Eve or New Year's Day.

We particularly enjoy their shandy drink, which we customize by requesting a mix of approximately 70% Carling beer and 30% lemonade.

This establishment is undoubtedly the finest local carvery we have encountered. I’m hanging out with my husband, ItalyPaul, and we just had an amazing carvery meal.

The veggies were served hot and fresh, the potatoes, and the beef, turkey, and gammon were cooked to perfection tender and flavourful, showcasing excellent preparation. Everything was served at the ideal temperature.

It is a delightful experience featuring fresh and high-quality British cuisine. This carvery is top-notch! I rated it 9 out of 10 and I definitely recommend checking it out for its amazing quality and fresh dishes.

Our total bill was £25.28 for both of us, which we found to be quite reasonable. We will certainly return, as the bustling atmosphere is always a positive indicator of quality.
