Solution Bike – Valencia (Spain) en
The tourism office in Valencia had reserved for me a guided bike tour that was very much like the Vrai Paris ones ( authentic, mixing history and social, cultural day to day life)
This is where we got our bikes: the man was French, his wife Spanish[...]
Central Bar – Valencia (Spain) en
The foodie coup de coeur of the trip: Michelin starred Richard Camarena's tapas bar in the central market.
A real treat, it's what I prefer anyhow in all these cities that I visit: the old markets and their atmospheres.
Here it's good, not too expe[...]
Calle de Las Horas – Valencia (Spain) en
This a bar I went to with the press group, so it isn't a place that I found on my own, as it was Valencia's tourism office that brought us there. The one responsible for the tourism office was my age and we became friends, he confirmed that he liked [...]
Dulce de Leche – Valencia (Spain) en
It's THE bakery- a salon de thé in Valence that many locals would highly recommend.
So yeah, it's nice and good! ( there's at least two actually, another is in the trendy Ruzafa area) but the service wasn't great: without being unpleasant, it feels [...]
Ubik Café – Valencia (Spain) en
A literary café that symbolizes this trendy and bohemian area of Ruzafa ( or Russafa) here everyone knows everybody.
I appreciated the intimate character of the place despite its size and door opened up to the sunny street.
[...]
Street Art – Valencia (Spain) en
In Valencia, you can see street art everywhere, in the historic center, in the Cabañal (or El Cabanyal) gypsy quarter near the beach.
Even a chocolate shop or an old car dealership can have entrusted the design of [...]
Restaurante Villaplana – Valencia (Spain) en
I owe this one to Valencia's Cartoville which is extremely well done. We'd just arrived in the city and I was absolutely starving, we were looking for a restaurant. It was warmly recommended in the guide but it was also pointed out that it wasn't eas[...]
Le Petit Pan – Paris (75015) en
I hadn't been a big fan of Grand Pan ( tested once at the same time). However, this Petit Pan has a lot of assets: inexpensive, good, nice and serious. Not everything is perfect, but everything is good. And the price-quality ratio is unbeatable.[...]
Porta da Selva – Paris (75012) en
Finally a good Brazilian restaurant in Paris that explores as much the known ones ( Feijoada, Picanha) as well as the northern and north eastern specialties [...]
Edo – Paris (75018) en
A Japanese restaurant a bit lost close to the Porte de Saint Ouen and open for 20 years now; but the corner by the Petite Ceinture doesn't lack charm on nice days, and this restaurant is a good spot because it falls in the spectrum of authentic but n[...]
Le Bougnat – Paris (75003) en
A true bistrot in an area that's become considerably more bourgeois, but in which the quality of food choices haven't followed suite ( often very expensive and not good, the first ones to complain were often the locals themselves). [...]
Europe Kebap – Paris (75009) en
As long as we're in the sandwiches, I decide to give one to Euro Kebap again, retested the other day with a friend of mine who knows all about the subject. We were looking for one in the area, because it's true that since the GAP disappearing from Cl[...]
