Of course, it does help to be staying just a 5-minute walk from this famed tea room and patisserie. It really makes thing a lot easier for all of us.
We spent some time checking out their pastries before breakfast.
The yule logs, very popular around Christmas time, comes in different colors, flavors and shapes.
Ladurée's hot chocolate - Before we got too carried away with desserts, we finally got seated at the ground-floor tea room. Like I always do, I started my morning off with Ladurée's signature hot chocolate. It was silky smooth and I found it a little sweeter than the one I had at Angelina yesterday morning, with a little less bitterness. Pretty nice.
French toast - This was served with maple syrup. Very delicate.
Soft boiled egg with Scottish smoked salmon, avocado and toast - I didn't expect such gorgeous presentation with the sliced avocado and soft-boiled egg sitting on top of the smoked salmon while they stacked the bread sticks around the perimeter.
Everyone seems to enjoy their breakfast dishes a little more than they did yesterday. Is it just the food that was making the impact? I think not. I believe there's a certain magic around here in this flagship tea room and restaurant on Champs Elysées that's putting a smile on everyone's face, despite the black eyes from the lack of sleep.
