The subterranean lounge in the Carlton Hotel, Salon Millesime has a cool vibe. The vintage-glam spot serves small plates (you can also order from the upstairs restaurant that has a tasty seafood-inspired menu) and cocktails while grooving to a DJ or live music. It’s the perfect destination for date night and libations with friends.
I attended a birthday celebration for my girl Michelle’s sister, and we did it up in true Sip, Chat, Chow fashion.

The Glam Foodie In St Tropez: Caprice Des Deux
Category : All Reviews, Not NYC, Updates
Leave a comment
St Tropez is filled with restaurants where you want to be seen but usually those spots don’t have the best food. So, on this trip, our strategy was to seek out the real culinary gems for dinner and visit the trendy hot spots for lunch, cocktails or a light snack.
Tucked away in the heart of the old quarter of St Tropez, Caprice Des Deux is a quaint bistro that transports you to a romantic place. It’s located on a side street close to the port. The well executed menu delivers French, Mediterranean and Modern cuisine in an old village house with three rooms- all with their own character. One set with candles, the other with mirrors and the third with wood accents.

Recette specializes in small plates with unique pairings and flavors for brunch and dinner. My girls and I hit up Recette for brunch last Sunday, and we welcomed the laid back feel. The cozy, quaint resto offers novel brunch options and good desserts from a Per Se alum. We didn’t get to try the Burrata Grilled Cheese or PB&J but it’s on my list for next time.

Brooklyn’s Finest: The Chef’s Table At Brooklyn Fare

My friend and I headed to César Ramirez’s (Bouley Alum) eighteen-seat tasting restaurant in Boerum Hill, Brooklyn a couple of weeks ago. It’s Brooklyn’s only two Michelin-starred restaurant. Scoring a ressie wasn’t as easy as it usually is for me. I booked it 4 weeks in advance, and once confirmed, they send you an email with details on the $165 multi-course tasting prix fixe. You’re pre-charged 2 weeks before and sent a reminder closer to the date.
The casual, laid-back resto that’s attached to a gourmet grocery store focuses primarily on seafood. We indulged in a culinary feast- every course was unique. It was a terrific dining experience. The exceptional menu is heavily influenced by Japanese, Italian and French cuisine. I had a few favorites but overall it was one of the best meals I’ve had in quite some time. The courses were innovative- full of flavor, wonderful combinations, textures and quality ingredients. And the greatness didn’t end with the food – the chef, his staff, the china and cutlery were also stars. Everything was beautifully plated and in total sync. There was extreme attention to detail. Cutlery changed with the rotation of every dish, and was even chilled when serving the sorbet.

Brunch in Beverly Hills at Bouchon was great! The upscale French bistro is well crafted – ambiance, outdoor seating, service and food are excellent.
The brunch menu is pretty straight forward, and the dishes are wonderfully done.
