Sunday is brunch! Head to BB Blanche

In Paris, the late Sunday awakening usually continues with a good, very hearty brunch! Paris Select has tested BB Blanche for you, concocted by star chef Jean Imbert. Verdict. As soon as you enter, you are immediately seduced by this former private mansion with its sumptuous setting and cozy atmosphere. Here, the refined decoration highlights soft and relaxing colors. Composed of exquisite and gourmet dishes, the brunch of the former top chef Jean Imbert, trained by the great Paul Bocuse, is very complete. Between the savory sandwiches (cake, mimosa or beef tataki), the accompanying verrines – egg casserole, mushrooms, arugula, carrot tartare, herb crisps, leek salad and other delicious bites – and the pink praline brioches (to be enjoyed while sipping its detox juice) we don't know where to turn! As for dessert, we still dream of the chocolate waffle accompanied by its homemade vanilla whipped cream and its little pot of hot chocolate, a real treat. Otherwise, you can…

We found the oldest jewelry store in Paris

Established in the Marais since 1904, Joaillerie Landauer is one of the oldest shops in the capital, offering antique jewelery and other exceptional pieces. A stone's throw from the Place de la République, the Joaillerie Landauer has been enthroned on the rue du Temple for decades. Over time, the family know-how has been transmitted and continues today thanks to Sonia Landauer (from the fourth generation) who holds the reins of the jewellery. Surrounded by a great team of experts, she provides her clients with a jewelry workshop where any order becomes feasible. Behind the beautiful forest green façade, one discovers old jewelery from all eras, second-hand designer watches from the most prestigious brands (Rolex, Omega, Fred, etc.) but also a large selection of vintage and more contemporary rings, or even sublime alliances… In addition to the reissue of old jewellery, you can also have your favorite pieces repaired there as well as sell gold and precious metals.

Manko, an immersion in Peruvian gastronomy

The Manko restaurant pays homage to the Inca culture through very trendy Peruvian cuisine and a cocktail bar that completes the trip... Located in the former Drouot auction room where the film "Orchestra chairs" was shot with Cécile de France, the Manko restaurant opened its doors last February. Its name pays homage to the Inca legend "Manco Capac", son of the Sun God and founder of the Inca people. This establishment therefore proposes to discover the Peruvian cuisine which, for centuries, was inspired by all the cultures of the world. Influences from Europe, Japan, China and Africa have merged with the ancient Andean culture to give birth to a tasty and spicy gastronomy that we rediscover with great pleasure today. Because Manko is following the Peruvian trend by offering typical dishes such as the famous Cebiches and Tiraditos of fish, grilled meats in the charcoal oven, Anticuchos or quite simply a beautiful skirt of beef accompanied by its spicy sauce and tacu...
