I thought I'd shake you up this morning.
It's not all Petit dej' and hot chocolate at Hotel Meurice. Unless independently wealthy, there are times when a quick snack between posh joints is essential.
Columbus Cafe is the French version of Starbucks. A muffin is considered "dessert" A Coke is boisson fraiche
Owner Philippe Bloch says, "We completely gave up china cups in 1995 and now only offer paper cups"
On the other hand they do have quite nice salades.I've had the Nicoises.And they do have free WI FI
You don't expect an ardoise/black board menu for a take-away chain.
SNACK TIME is by ODEON Metro station 97, Bd St Germain 75006
Their fare looks fresh and pas cher/not expensive
COJEAN is the newest Paris fast food chain and the most chic.
Wraps, toastes, baguettes, quiches, boissons, desserts etc. All very chicly designed and displayed. I've yet to try.
Carottes rapees one of my fav Paris snacks - Shredded carrots with a teaspoon of lemon juice.YUM! so simple..why does it never taste the same at home? Waiting at LAFAYETTE GOURMET ground level.Another frequent snack is salade composee from Monoprix. I was fascinated by these lemon meringue at LAFAYETTE GOURMET. I didn't get one though.
Do you have a favorite Paris snack?
Tell me about it!
