This sushi is garnished with a .20-carat diamond an wrapped in 24-karat gold leaves. It can be ordered in a restaurant in Manila for $ 2,000. Not available for take out. Bummer.

It’s always cool when Moët&Chandon come with a new product. This time, it’s literally cool, since Moët Ice Impérial must be served on ice. This new champagne is a blend of pinot noir, pinot meunier and chardonnay with notes of tropical fruits such as mango and guava, sweet spices like licorice, red fruits and peppermint. The Moët Imperial Ice will be available only in the most exclusive resorts around the world.

Moët&Chandon Nectar Impérial is a champagne that I always drink on the rocks, with a twist. Now, this one will be added to the list. Can’t wait to drink this!

If you’re traveling a lot and if you’re looking for hotspots all over the world, have a look at their website. Inspiration galore!

Louis Ladurée founded a bakery on Rue Royale in Paris, back in 1862. Ladurée’s rise to fame came in 1930 when his grandson, Pierre Desfontaines, had the idea of the double-decker, sticking two macaron shells toghether with a creamy ganache as filling.

Desfontaines also opened a tearoom at the pastry shop. In those days ladies were not admitted to cafés, which were the exclusive domain of men. This was a big success with the ladies, who enjoyed meeting in the freedom of the tearoom rather than their homes.

Now, almost 80 years after the founding of the Ladurée macarons, you can find a collabbo with which other store than… Colette. A box of 4 macarons sells for € 9 at Colette.

Restaurants for lunch

Bound

Bound is founded in 2005 by the George V Group. In Paris, they own Buddha Bar, Barlotti, Barrio Latino and Bound. A huge pink metallic bar, black chandeliers, chairs in croco leather give this spot the cool touch needed to have lunch. Needed? Why yes. Or do you prefer having lunch with a fluorescent tube above your head? I didn’t think so.

Try for lunch the hamburgers with french fries. Best fries you find in Paris. Best hamburger you find available for lunch. The sushi is alright, but they’re better at Buddha Bar. The only type of sushi roll that tastes the same as the ones over at Buddha Bar, are the Bound rolls. Delicious.

Address: 49, Avenue George V

Open for: Lunch, afternoon tea, dinner and clubbing.

L’Avenue

L’Avenue is founded by one of the Costes brothers, of the world famous Hotel Costes. You might not ever have heard of the hotel, which is okay, but I bet that you’ve heard about the CD’s. If not: stop reading and buy some Costes CD’s. Awesome chill out, lounge and acid jazz compilations.

Across the street are Dior and Chanel, located on Avenue Montaigne, L’Avenue is great for the upper echelon shoppers. Try the salmon, it’s so fresh it almost swims to your plate. Enjoy your lunch at this great spot.

Address: 41, Avenue Montaigne

Open for: Lunch and dinner.

Restaurants for dinner

Buddha Bar

Buddha Bar is the most famour restaurant of the Georges V Restauration Group in Paris. Georges V Group owns the Buddha Bar concept and is exploiting this in over 10 cities already, expanding the Georges V empire quickly.

Buddha Bar is my favourite restaurant in Paris. I am a extremely big fan of sushi, sashimi and other Japanese cuisine type of food, and the sushi at Buddha Bar is honestly the best I’ve ever tasted. Of all cities (New York, London, Amsterdam, St. Tropez, Antwerp, etc) Buddha Bar in Paris serves the best sushi, ever. Try the Buddha Bar Rolls, Pink Lady, Lobster Rolls, Spicy Tuna and Red Fire Dragon. Experience the summum of sushi, while the best DJ’s play their beats. While the time flies the music gets louder, the people get drunker and you become more and more sad because all of the sushi is gone… Eaten… And now you have a reason to come back to Paris. Try Buddha Bar. You won’t be dissapointed.

Address: 8, Rue Boissy d’Anglas

Open for: Dinner and a little bit of bar clubbing.

Kong

Completely designed by Philip Starck, Kong is different than any other restaurant that you’ve ever dined in Paris. Not only because of it’s stunning view over Pont Neuf and the Seine, also because of the ambiance.

Before you dine, you can have drinks at the bar, one level below the main restaurant. Kong is located on the top two floors of the Kenzo main office, across the street from where Louis Vuitton’s main office is founded. Depending on what side of the restaurant you’re sitting, you’re either staring to Pont Neuf, or to the Louis Vuitton logo across the street. Try getting the table that gives you the Pont view, when making reservations.

Address: 1, Rue Pont Neuf

Open for: Lunch, brunch, dinner and bar clubbing.

Jules Verne

This restaurant has the most magnificent location of this list. Even better than Kong. It’s located on the second  floor level of the Eiffel Tower and has been graded with one Michelin Star. Since 2007 it’s run by Alain Ducasse.

A private elevator brings you to to the restaurant, 125 meters above the ground. This gives you a stunning panoramic view of Paris. It’s the most expensive restaurant on this list, but the view is so stunning, it’s worth the money. If not for the food, designed (yes: designed) by Patrick Jouin, then for the view.
