Anybody living in Nice knows that there is this well known American Coffee chain in Nice Etoile that sells their coffee at really high prices compared to their ususall price range. Well I have a way for you to enjoy great coffee with lovely flavors!
This CG is at the Hotel Ellington on Boulevard Dubouchage. I chose a Speculoos Latte and it is so delicious!
What you see here is a REAL latte which is really hard to find in Nice with 3 types of home-made cookies! The Palmiers are my absolute favorite and I would do anything to get my hands on those every day! Thank god I work out or I would be bigger than Texas!
Now to the thing you are all wondering about, the price. 5€ is all i've got to say. 5€ is the price of a small coffee basically at Nice Etoile and here you get the latte and the cookies! What more could you want?!
I hope you guys visit this place, not just for the awesome coffee but also for their happy hour every day from 18:00 to 20:00 where the drinks are up to 50% off!

Have a very merry christmas guys and a happy new year!!

Häagen-Dazs, Nice
So, major fail! Negresco only serves their CG during the week, annoying much! So backup plan was Pinkoffee... closed. So we decided on something that would definitely be open seeing as I was getting a tad hungry :P
We decided on Häagen-Dazs because it was close by and open. My poison was the crepe en desire. Its a Crepe topped with chocolate, pralines & caramel ice-cream, Banana chocolate brownie, small chunks of brownie fudge sauce, fresh banana and whipped cream. As far as my expectations, they were high but weren't met sadly enough.. I wasn't a huge fan of the fudge nor the banana chocolate brownie ice-cream. Service was also less than stellar. It wasn't that she wasn't polite but it was really obvious that being a waitress was not what she was feeling like being at the moment.
soooo all in all, I want those calories gone again to make room for ones that I like!
Hopefully I'll be able to show you the CG of Negresco soon!

Di Yar, Nice
Last week we went to this great Lebanese place in old Nice and I ordered a fresh mint tea gourmand after dinner. The tea was really good, not that hard when it's just fresh mint and hot water ^^. now to the good stuff. If you are not a fan of honey sweet and rosewater then this is not for you! I am a fan of honey sweet but not of rosewater... BUT I know tastes differ so I won't say it wasn't good! I loved the way it was made and it was authentic Lebanese food, just not really my taste. I would recommend this to anyone who likes rosewater in their food. You might be thinking that it's not that much, but it is if you've had a main before, seeing as the Lebanese don't believe in small portions (which is amazing)!
This cute little CG was 5€ so not expensive.
Tomorrow i'll be trying the CG at Negresco and my expectations are high! So stay tuned!
