Brunch at Cova Montenapoleone

 


Are you coming to Paris this Spring or are you already here? 

Run, dont walk to Cova

Last Friday I took visiting Carolyn practically straight off the plane to Pasticceria Cova Montenapoleone 
For breakies at 1, rue Pont Neuf, just across from Samartaine.

They are absolutely ready for the Easter bunny in full regalia.
Let the ribbon tieing begin. 
How is your Italian? Whatever. Everyone understands Panetonne. 
Carolyn insisted on having an omelette jambon. So be it.
Everything is perfection at Cova.
And far less people having a late breakfast than at very popular lunch or teatime. There will be baby carriages. You have been warned.
I dragged Carolyn into Samartaine for the ongoing search for blue & yellow objects to paint. Cafe Plisson in the basement filled all our needs. 
Over the weekend we ran to Lyon and studied menus like everyone else.
Plus all the crepe chariots. We ate wonderfully but that’s the next post. 
Sunday morning I painted on my room…you know what. Thank you 👏💋❤️PBers for your Ukraine contributions by buying my watercolors. More are up on Etsy. More news tomorrow.

  4. Cova looks like a great addition to the Patisserie scene (as if any additions were needed) and your new watercolors are smashing. Looking forward to your next post about the food.

  9. What are those mouth watering pastries?
    Thanks for the Easter decorating tip. I am going to collect my glass jars & fill them with foil chocolate eggs.
    I love baby carriages. Used to take photos of them in various countries on my travels.
