18:30 – Food Shopping at Monoprix
After dinner head across the road to Monoprix Dragon on Rue de Rennes and get some foodie bits to take home to London with you! I personally always buy the Fig & Nut Boursin, bags of Orangina Haribos, and I love taking home a crusty french baguette.

I also used to buy BN’s, but they’ve finally reintroduced them to the UK so we can get them at home now. I recommend taking a fold-up tote bag with you so you can carry it home more easily.

19:00 – Notre Dame and Shakespeare & Co
Now, get the Metro from Saint-Germain-des-Prés to Saint-Michel Notre-Dame (the pink line – number 4). The Notre Dame is currently closed due to the restoration after the fire in 2019, but you can still see the outside of this magnificent cathedral!

On a back-street just across the river from the Notre Dame, is Shakespeare and Company, one of the most famous bookshops in the world. When I visited, the queue to get in was absolutely huge and I didn’t have time to wait, so I just snapped a quick photo and made my way back to the Metro. But if the queue isn’t big, I highly recommend you go in and take a look around – maybe buy a book as a souvenir!

21:13 – Return home on the Eurostar
And finally, it’s time to head home! You’ll need to get to Gare du Nord about 45mins before the train departs. The last Eurostar departs at 21:13, so make sure you book this return train so you can maximise your day trip to Paris! You’ll want to get to the station for 8:30pm, so get the Metro from Notre Dame around 8pm just to be safe.

For the main course we started with the Sean conch Chinese yam soup, which was a wonderful brothy soup ideal for these cold months!

After eventually finding the entrance (it’s quite confusing if you don’t know Broadgate Circle well – we tried numerous doors trying to get in before we eventually found the entrance), we got settled and started with a Saffron G&T and the dim sum. I really do love dim sum, and the fois gras roast duck puff was the perfect way to start the meal. My favourite though was without a doubt the Caviar taro dumpling!

I reviewed Yauatcha in Soho back in 2014, and the City version of the restaurant is very similar – much more relaxed and informal compared to Hakkasan, but still an incredible standard of food. Yauatcha is the place to go to with friends or colleagues, while Hakkasan should be saved for dates, special occasions, and client lunches.

Last week I went to test out the new Chinese New Year menu at Yauatcha in the City (the things I do for you guys ;)). Last year I tested out the Hakkasan Chinese New Year menu, so this year I wanted to mix things up a little bit. It was a really delicious meal, however we did miss one of the mains (more on that later in the post…), but the thing that really made it awesome? Gin macarons, and a Gin cocktail pairing flight. Yes. You read that right.

New Business Class is Only Available on Certain Planes
If you want to test out VA’s new business class, make sure you check which plane you’re booking as some of the planes still have the old (rubbish) business class. To have the chance to experience the new business class for far cheaper than buying an outright business ticket, book an economy ticket with and then use their UpgradeMe function to bid on an upgrade. I just put in the lowest amount (you could choose between $450-$1500 for my particular Perth – Sydney flight) and 48 hours before the flight they confirmed my upgrade bid had been successful.
It’s safe to say I arrived in Sydney last November ready to start my new life feeling relaxed, happy, and excited for the future, and then arrived back in Perth ready to take on Asia! But, more about that trip coming up over the next coupla weeks… 😉 stay tuned!

Surrounded by the most splendid gardens on the Amalfi Coast, this historic Ravello property can trace its origins back to the 11th century. The villa was largely rebuilt in the early 1900s by Lord Grimthorpe (an English co-designer of Big Ben), and it soon attracted the likes of Virginia Woolf, Greta Garbo, and E.M. Forster. The sumptuously decorated suites include vaulted ceilings, Majolica tile floors, and cheerful frescoes. Michelin-starred restaurant Il Flauto di Pan serves elegant twists on homestyle local dishes, such as white rabbit ragù and marinated Cetara anchovies. But the villa’s simplest delight is also its most spectacular: Gore Vidal once said that the view from the garden’s belvedere was the most beautiful place in the world.

This 32-room hotel may appear traditional thanks to its colonial facade, but guests know that the sleek Hotel Matilda is anything but: there’s a crazy video installation installed behind the front desk, and the hallways are lined with contemporary artwork. Once you get to your room, you’ll discover crisp white beds dressed with Egyptian cotton linens and adorned slate gray accents, and marble-clad bathrooms stocked with Malin + Goetz products. The infinity pool and the rooftop bar, though, are the true standouts.

Tucked away amid the quiet, tree-lined streets of Shanghai’s former French Concession, this is much more than a luxury hotel. It’s actually a cultural preservation zone—an innovative restoration of the Xuhui District’s last remaining cluster of 1930s-era shikumen townhouses, where traders and expats dwelled in the city’s golden era. In preserving this piece of Shanghai’s cultural heritage, Capella Hotels & Resorts has created its own gateway to the city’s cosmopolitan past. Under the auspices of Jaya International Design, the complex of over 200 townhouses, connected by tiny lanes, has been transformed into an urban resort of 55 luxurious villas and 40 private residences, still linked around shared courtyards and secret gardens, and now enclosing a transformative spa and wellness center (named Auriga, for the constellation in which the Capella star sits).

This hotel has the ability to transport you to a relaxing oasis miles from the hustle and bustle of busy Dallas, despite being in the middle of Uptown. The spa and pool make it hard to beat, while a 2018 renovation has left the rooms and suites with incredible interior design and abundant natural light, via floor-to-ceiling windows. Food and drink is on point with the Dallas outpost of Nobu and stellar cocktails at Beau Nash.
