Gourmet luxury travel - Malaysia and the world
This place has great coffee, without the drugs associated with all of the “coffee shops” along that street. They have a beautiful coffee machine (but they would not allow me to photograph it). Sandwiches and pastries are fine, but you go here for the I…
This place is in a convenient location to watch the crowds flock by the main square. They offer a set lunch menu which is quite good value for the location. The service is friendly and it is a good place to try Flemish beef stew. Portions are medium sized – […]
One of the many treats worth trying in Brussels is the infamous waffle. There is no need to go with all of the excessive toppings that interfere with the flavour of the already divine dough below. Try a straight up waffle from Elizabeth’s on Rue au Beurre. Ther…
Okay, this cafe nearly did not make it on to The Yum List because of the rude waiter who told me, “Taking photos is absolutely forbidden!” in his best growly voice. However, I love their food and their concept of natural, fresh and ready food. At least by …
Lots of different Middle Eastern treats can be found at this patisserie. It is a nice change from the overwhelming amount of chocolate shops in Brussels city centre. They have just about every sweet from the orient that you can imagine. Worth a taste. Rose Damas Pat…
Charli Boulangerie has to be the best bakery I have ever been to! The bread here is soooo good. A little crusty on the outside, chewy on the inside, so yummy you could eat it all by itself – no toppings needed. They sell a variety of sandwiches, fresh bread, […]

I couldn’t resist posting this restaurant. The food is decent but it wouldn’t ordinarily make The Yum List – the location is so fantastic though that this place is worth a visit. Set on the first floor of the Eiffel Tower, you get a magical view of …
This gourmet food store has just about every gourmet food product you could desire. Don’t even think of entering this place on an empty stomach, or risk leaving with 100s of Euros worth of edible goodies. The photos above show just a small selection of what is …
Thick, creamy, rich, ‘died and gone to heaven’ hot chocolate… yum! Chez Angelina near the Louvre 226 Rue de Rivoli, 75001 Paris, France Tel: +33 (1) 42608200…
One of the joys of eating around Paris is the number of fresh markets and great produce available at reasonable prices. Marche d’ Aligre is a little off the tourist strip and full of local Parisians. The prices here are more reasonable than many of the markets …
A stay at Chez Nous, Cluis, France, is a satisfying adventure – both intellectually and gastronomically! I recently spent a week in Cluis, two hours south of Paris, France, learning about the orthography of the English language. While my expert linguisti…
