5/31: 15:43: Paris - Woke up this morning at 08:30 to try and figure out how to possibly get to Belgium because we aren't thrilled with Paris, plans fell through fuck the trains. Not bad though, making the most of it. Got a small cheese pastry for breakfast today then went to the Eifel tower. We got tickets and went all the way to the top and goddamn was it high up. Sketchy ride up, and it was absolutely freezing. Found a dope crepe spot for lunch and got a duck confit crepe with potatoes, cheddar&a French cheese, potatoes, and parsley. Followed by espresso to round off the meal. The crepe itself was absolutely incredible, they used a buckwheat batter instead of a flour batter which was pleasant and the duck confit in the crepe was riDUCKulous (ha ha HA) made up for the average confit last night. Just got back to the hostel and just kickin it figuring out the rest of the day.. trying to change our train to Amsterdam for a day earlier so hopefully that comes through. Update: 23:50: Just got back from dinner with Ben at L'Arlequin Cafe and I do not have enough nice things to say. The meal as a whole was absolutely incredible. Started off with some delicious house rosè wine, followed by a dozen escargot split with Ben. The escargot were in a olive oil, garlic, basil, fresh herb sauce which was so beyond tasty. I was skeptical at first because they were snails but once I gave them a chance they were fantastic. Then I got duck breast with this honey, thyme, cherry&balsamic glaze with zucchini and potatoes which was fucking delicious. One of the best entrees I've eaten in all honesty, I didn't want it to end. For dessert I got a chocolate soufflé with ice cream and a raspberry sauce which was the perfect way to end a perfect meal. The ambiance in the restaurant, as well as the food, the service and the vibe made me rethink all the negative thoughts about Paris. The culinary scene here really is tremendous and now I'm quite excited to delve deeper into it. Again, not enough nice things to say other than absolutely perfect. Here's to that delicious meal 🍷
