World Famous Ladurée Paris French Tea Room - Honest Review

The most famous macarons in the world are made by Ladurée, located in Paris, France. We spent 4 days and 3 nights at the Novotel Paris Centre Tour Eiffel since it’s in a great spot just a few minutes walk from Novotel to Laduree and Lafayette Beaugrenelle and a big food shopping center nearby!

We enjoyed our afternoon tea at Laduree, and we were really impressed by the selection of macarons. They weren't too sweet, but each flavour was delicious and incredibly fresh. They all had natural flavours with a hint of almond. The macarons came with cappuccino, sencha, and jasmine green tea, which made for a great combo.

Parisian Dream is all about Laduree for gourmet treats! The staff are super friendly and have a great vibe, and they’re really nice to vloggers.

I have wrote an Google review regarding the amazing staffs, desserts and atmosphere, all rated at 5 stars. We absolutely love Paris and will definitely be returning again and again! This video is not sponsored and originates from last December.

We returned to the Novotel to pick up our luggage's, and we also enjoyed the beautiful sunsets from the balcony. After that, our Uber showed up outside the hotel and took us to the airport. It took around 50 minutes, depending on how busy it was. I remember last time it took us an hour to airport, so make sure to arrive early if you have a big luggage check in, just in case the luggage counter closes.

Budapest Danube River Night Cruise - Párisi Udvar Hotel Budapest | Michelin Fine Dining Restaurant 2025

At the start, there's a brief trailer showcasing night sightseeing along with dining at the Párisi Udvar Hotel Budapest.

Uber in Budapest is more affordable than in Paris. For one ride, it only costs around £7, depending on the distance and whether it's a busy time or not. Honestly, it's really budget-friendly compared to other countries in Europe.

Párisi Passage Restaurant is a fine-dining spot nestled in the historic 5-star Párisi Udvar hotel in Budapest, known for its stunning Art Nouveau design and its fantastic location in a turn-of-the-century building. The restaurant offers breakfast, afternoon tea, and à la carte options, showcasing a range of European-inspired dishes in a classy setting with a smart casual dress code.

We made an online reservation and arrived at 7 PM. We had a 2-hour dining experience there, and overall, it was quite enjoyable.

Atmosphere & Architecture
The restaurant is located in the stunning Art Nouveau atrium of the Párisi Udvar hotel, often regarded as a masterpiece of lavish design. Notable architectural elements include elaborate patterns, sculptural details and a breath-taking glass ceiling, making it a super iconic place for photos and videos and a unique location.

Below are the list what we eat included the local prices. Also, convert the Hungarian currency to euros. The service is amazing so the service charge is well worth for it.

Japanese Green Tea 3370 - €9

1 Beer 2490 - €7
1 Beef Sirloin / Medium 25900 - €66.20
1 Wiener Schnitzel 15900 - €41
Must request the mustard and ketchup for this dishes.
Service charge 15% 7148 - €19
= 54808 €145

Must try Parisi gorgeous signature dessert, the Párisi Cube. A dark chocolate dessert filled with coffee-rum ganache and milk chocolate mousse inspired by one of the most traditional and iconic Hungarian delights.

I rated it a 9 out of 10, which is a pretty high score for dining in Budapest is a real treat, especially at a 5-star hotel restaurant surrounded by stunning scenery. It's surprisingly affordable, allowing you to enjoy a meal in a gorgeous royal palace with good service, good foods and good drinks. Live performances by singers add an extra layer of enjoyment to the entire atmosphere.

After the dinner, we use the uber app to a short ride to a cruise for the beautiful night scene which are already made an reservation in getyourfguide. Make sure to book early before they sell out so fast!

We paid £25, which included a welcome drinks for two, and we booked for 9:15 PM. We got there 15 minutes early since it was our first time, and we weren't sure where to find our seats. The best ones are at the top for the best views. It's totally worth it for what it is, especially when you see the stunning night views in Budapest. We are definitely coming back for sure!

While we were at the Mystery hotel, it was super close to the boat port. Ubers are really convenient and way cheaper than in Paris, almost half the price for each ride. Thanks for watching everyone! Wishing you all a happy everyday!

Breakfast at the Most Beautiful café in the World - New York Café

Hey Everyone :) Good morning! We’ve got the breakfast buffet at the Anantara (Deep Water Breakfast Room). The vibe feels just like a classic movie. There’s a crowd every day since it’s the most beautiful café in the world, and tons of people are waiting in line outside. The live musicians are super talented, and the atmosphere is absolutely incredible!

The staff took care of us, and they were really polite and knowledgeable. Hearing someone compliment me by saying I look beautiful, that I'm pretty, that they love my smile and my outfit, really made my day :) You all are so sincere and kind hearted :)

As soon as you sit down, the waiter pours some freshly squeezed orange juice into your glass and hands you the menu so you can decide what you'd like to order, including any special requests.

My favourite thing in the morning is a pot of jasmine green tea and sencha green tea; they taste amazing and authentic, 100% top-notch quality.

You can request your fried eggs, and the talented chef will prepare them right in front of you. The golden yolks are stunning, with a crispy base and a smooth, slightly runny texture that I absolutely loved and enjoyed it a lot. Importantly, not greasy at all. Frying an egg seems super easy, but making the perfect one is a whole different story.

Making a Reservation: You can see what's available and book breakfast options while reserving your room on the hotel's official site. Private Service: If you're looking for something special, the hotel has a "Luxury Breakfast with Private Service" option. I'm definitely going to book this for my future stays before I check in. They require a reservation to create a unique experience just for you, featuring a memorable luxury breakfast in the white salon, exclusively for hotel guests. You can check out the details and maybe even book breakfast packages right on the hotel's official site, Anantara.

What's Included: Some room bookings and special deals, like the "Thermal Refreshment" package, come with breakfast, as mentioned on the official Anantara website.

The Anantara New York Palace Budapest Hotel serves breakfast in the beautiful and historic New York Cafe. Hotel guests can enjoy a buffet featuring baked goods, fruits, and Hungarian hot dishes for a total of 40 euros, which is a great deal. There's also a separate option for a luxurious breakfast with a private service, that costs 120 euros for two persons. It's definitely worth it. I'm really looking forward to trying it on my next trip back here.

What’s on the menu: The breakfast buffet features a variety of fresh fruits, juices, warm pastries, and classic Hungarian hot dishes.

Everything you can find on the classic breakfast buffet for hotel guests. We pick our favourite and set up a nice breakfast spread. so we can enjoy it without having to run around multiple times. Everything's right there on the table for us to enjoy.

Incredible atmosphere. well trainned staffs, delicious food, and great teas, making for a joyful breakfast experience. The pastries and croissants have the beautiful textures.

A friendly waiter came over to our table and asked if there was anything he could help with, like taking a picture for us?

It's such a nice and cheerful thing to hear. Even though we're sitting in the corner, the positive vibes are so strong that, we rated it a perfect 10 out of 10.

Atmosphere: The vintage décor of the New York Café create a unique and sophisticated ambiance for your breakfast.

You can ask for a bed and breakfast to be delivered to your room. We're in room 507, the Executive suite with a terrace. The large balcony and the scenery set the perfect vibes for enjoying a glass of champagne while soaking in the breath-taking sunsets.
