Berthillon Ice Cream

Berthillon Ice Cream

While my friend Monny was in town we had dinner at Brasserie Lipp and then went in search of a Patisserie to buy dessert to eat by the river during sunset. Unfortunately all the places I had wanted to go to were already closed, but then I remembered Berthillon on Ile Saint Louis. Far from being a compromise, this ice cream is easily one of the best 3 I've ever had, and trust me, I eat a lot of ice cream seeing as it's basically my favorite dessert, winter or summer. I had Cassis and Salted Caramel and will definitely be back soon to try more of their extensive list of flavors.

 

Chicken Palm-heart Salad

Chicken Palm-heart Salad

The palm-heart is very subtle in taste, reminding of asparagus, this is why I chose this strong tasting dressing Since harvesting is still a labor-intensive task, palm hearts are regarded as a delicacy.

Cherche Midi

On one of my first nights in Paris my friend Helena (who knows the ways of the town because she grew up here) took Aya and me to one of the tiniest Italian places in the 6th. Tucked away in a side street near the Bon Marche is Cherche Midi, aptly named after the street it's located on.

Dipping in Ice cream – Dripping Ice Cream

This is summer, this brings memories from childhood, when you couldn't eat the ice-cream faster than the sun ...

Now hurry up Sophie!  

We had so much fun, and laughed real hard, … and she didn't get any on her skirt! Bravo!

What is your favorite taste? In Vienna everyone has their favorite ice parlor and would never be unfaithful and buy ice-cream anywhere else.
We are obsessed with Mozart and Strawberry-Yoghurt at Hoher Markt.
Christian would only buy Grapefruit and my mom loves Schwedenplatz.

Heaps of market fresh vegetables a dash of olive oil and a little extra effort  but it is so worth it.

If you're looking for a different kind of afternoon or an escape from Vienna for a day during the summer it is not far …

Anne, half French half German, married to an English man, was a neighbor and we often went out on our boats together on the weekends and spent hours floating around the shores of Bermuda.
