For all sweet-tooths out there I want to share with you a restaurant we went to recently. It serves plates that look like your favorite desserts, but are actual meals!!! No kidding.
Para todos los buenos para el dulce, quiero compartir con uds un restaurante al que fuimos hace poco. Sirve platos que parecen postres, pero son comidas reales. No es broma.
We also tried snails and rosed shaped ice creams that were so beautiful it was painful to eat. I am going to share with you these experiences (and places) in case you want go check them out soon! :)
Probamos también caracoles y helados con forma de rosa que eran tan bonitos que daba pena comerlos. ¡Voy a compartir con vosotros estas experiencias (y lugares) por si queréis ir a verlos pronto! :)

I am visiting Paris for a few days with my 80 year old godfather. It is his first time in Europe. I love him and am too proud of him.
Estoy visitando París por unos días con mi padrino de 80 años. Es su primera vez en Europa. Lo quiero y estoy orgullosa de él.
After a bit, I was tired of the overcrowded places... (we tourists mostly like to see the same things when traveling, no?).
Después de un rato, nos cansamos de los lugares llenos de gente... (a los turistas nos gusta ver las mismas cosas de paseo, parece).
So we decided to stop at Batignolles to change the style a bit. This area is more residential, close to Montmartre and does not have much to explore other than real parisian life. I really enjoy this kind of tourism. A cute corner here and there, some coffee shops, parks, supermarkets to go window-shopping in, and a nice sunset...
Decidimos parar en Batignolles para cambiar un poco el estilo. Esta zona es más residencial, está cerca del Montmartre y no tiene mucho que explorar aparte de la verdadera vida parisina. Me gusta este tipo de turismo. Una bonita esquina aquí o allá, cafés lindos, parques para perderse, supermercados y una linda puesta de sol...

On our first day in Paris, we had snails for lunch! Look at these beauties. They don't taste bad, I have to say. And am sorry if I sound inexperienced. I know I am.. haha... But I was a little unsettled about trying these. In Chile, where I come from.. we don't eat these just like that. We would usually think of these as very very disgusting.. haha.. But here I was! I tried it! And I recommend them. Specially in this place that is very budget friendly. And you know it is good because a huge cue will form of people eager to go in. Look up Bouillon Pigalle and go for it! Other French specialties are available to try.
En nuestro primer día en París, ¡comimos caracoles! Mira estas bellezas. Y no tienen mal sabor! Y lo siento si parezco un poco huasa. Sé que lo soy... jaja... Pero estaba un poco insegura de probar caracoles. En Chile, de donde vengo.. no comemos caracoles. Por lo general, pensamos que estos como un poco asqueroso jaja... ¡Pero los probé! Y los recomiendo. Especialmente en este lugar que es muy barato y rico. Y sabes que es bueno porque se forma una cola enorme de gente con ganas de entrar. ¡Busca Bouillon Pigalle y pruébalos tú también! También se pueden pedir otras especialidades francesas.

After lunch, if your want dessert. There is nothing like an ice cream. Cause you know... vacation is no place for diets. I had not noticed this shop before, but apparently Amorino is a very well known chain that sells ice cream in the shape of roses. It was my uncle's and my first rose and so just look at our faces. They say it all. I chose murtilla (crowberry) and yogurt. A taste of heaven, really. The extra euros you pay for the shape are a cool experience to have at least once.
Si tienes ganas de un postre, hay que ir por un helado. Porque todos sabemos, que las vacaciones no son para hacer dieta. No me había fijado en esta tienda, pero al parecer Amorino es una cadena muy conocida que vende helados con forma de rosa. Era la primera rosa de mi tío y la mía. Es cosa ver nuestras caras. Lo dicen todo. Yo elegí el de murtilla y el de yogurt. Riquísimo, de verdad. Los euros extra que se pagan, al menos una vez, valen la pena.

Finally, wanted to share with you another foodie experience. Close to these last two places, and in the Batignolles area, just walking around we came across a restaurant called "Privé de dessert". Its was that time of day, so for dinner we decided to stop at this small and "unimpressive" place.
Por último, quería compartir con vosotros otra experiencia gastronómica. Cerca de estos dos últimos lugares, y en la zona de Batignolles, paseando nos encontramos con un restaurante llamado "Privé de dessert". Para cenar decidimos parar en este lugar que no llamaba mucho la atención.
BUT. Wait for it. The fun thing about this place is that all your normal orders (for example, a burger) will look like a real dessert!!
PERO. Cacha que. Lo más entrete de este lugar es que todos sus platos (por ejemplo, una hamburguesa) parecen postre!
Please let me know if I am wrong, but I found this idea so original! I was utterly impressed. And the food did not taste bad at all. Presentation was great, waiters nice and the food tasted perfect.
Porfa, dime si me equivoco, pero esta idea me pareció muy original. Me impresionó mucho. Y la comida no era mala. La presentación era estupenda, los camareros amables y la comida súper rica.
Looking at their web page, I found that they have more than one place, not only in Batignolles. Look them up, and go check it out. They have their menu available online too, so you can see what a cappuccino there really has.. or their crumble, or the churros!!
Mirando su página web, encontré que tienen más de un local, no sólo en Batignolles. Búscalos y ve si vas a París pronto o vives por ahí. Tienen su menú disponible online también, para que veas lo que realmente tiene un capuchino, o su crumble, o los churros!
It is not so budget friendly if you ask me.. (I am a student). It was about 20 euros a plate, 10 euros the entrance dishes. So you are three, you pay like 75 euros. But it is really a fun experience to come with a friend, a family member or even a cute date. We stopped with my uncle. We loved it. We ordered different plates each, cause we wanted to see and taste them all.
No es tan barato si me preguntas.. (soy estudiante). Eran unos 20 euros el plato, 10 euros las entradas. Así que son tres, pagas como 75 euros. Pero es realmente una experiencia divertida para venir con amigos, familiares o incluso a una cita. Nosotros fuimos con mi tío. Nos encantó. Pedimos diferentes platos, porque queríamos verlos y probarlos todos.

Final words for the wise foodie-travelers. You have to try cheese in France. It is just otherworldly.
Palabras finales para los viajeros sabios (buenos para la comida). HAY que probar el queso en Francia. Es exquisito.

A big latin hug full of warmth for you, dear reader.
Un abrazo latinoamericano lleno de cariño para ti, querido lector.
After reading your post and watching the photos of the delicious food you had in Paris, I am really starving now 😋... The ice cream in particular seems really good (judging from the expression of your uncle at least 🤣)
He is the one having the most fun of us all, that is for sure! 😎
