Cafe Gitane’s second locaton is tucked away inside the Jane Hotel. I love coming here on Sunday’s because it’s bright, laid back and chill. The retro feel and diverse menu (couscous, pastries, eggs, sandwiches, pasta, meatballs) makes it a brunch staple.
CHOW FAVES:
Avocado Toast- Simply amazing.
Eggs with Salmon- Delicious.
Eggs with Tomato- Light and savory.
Brioche Ice Cream Sandwich- The perfect sweet treat!

We landed in Cognac and headed straight to Hennessy’s Chateau Bagnolet. It was magnificent.
After settling in, our next stop was the vineyard and Hennessy distillery.
I was able to make my own blend!
We had all meals at Bagnolet, and I must say- it was a fabulous experience. We always started with an aperitif prepared by Hennessy’s own skilled mixologist, Jordan.

Only in MePa could you find a resto stocked with wine-filled vending machines. Vinatta Project (Mulberry Project’s sister resto) delivers Haute vibes! It’s perfect for large groups.
Even though I was a die-hard Florent fan, Vinatta Project doesn’t disappoint as the new resident of the space. There’s a wonderful selection of creative small plates (great for sharing) and divine cocktails crafted by skilled mixologists. They ask you what you like, and create an original cocktail for you.

Twinning in the New Year at Buddakan. We feasted on a series of well conceived dishes (fish, chicken, shrimp, steak, duck, rice, noodles, dim sum and more!) and tasty cocktails by Hennessy.
