• A warm and wonderful brunch

Our visit to Paris did not coincide with one of Carmen's famous evening dinners (not always on offer, so look into it before you go) so, instead, we went there for brunch. Carmen is a delightful and warm host. She prepares all the food with great care, skill and inventiveness. The flavours are superb as is the quality. The brunch we had was a mix of raw and cooked and all home and expertly made. We were lucky enough to have both her superb desserts, the inimitable tiramisù and an equally delicious raw chocolate mousse (with no refined sugars). We loved the setting, which is in her clothing shop. The clothing is great too, with each a one-off piece made one size generous yet tailored enough to suit a wide variety of body types. The neighbourhood is really fun too.
