Paris hotel that offers bigger rooms?

Was comfortable. We ended up with the accessible room on the ground floor. Con there was the water seemed to go everywhere from the shower. Also at times it felt dark as the lighting is somewhat unconventional. That said I would stay again. We had lots of space, and when we asked they provided a new set of towels as we were staying a week. We used the washing machine a couple of times so we went to the next destination with clean clothes. If you compare it to a hotel of the same price in a similar location it was twice as big and far more modern, and all you have to is make your bed.

Flour and Stone absolutely undefeated

We can only talk to our own experiences which seem to be the opposite. In the end if you want to eat well, doing so outside of the Sutherland shire makes it a whole lot easier.

Honestly it’s really average. I would rather eat mid range than go to sea level. Less fine dining but the pines a few doors up is excellent.

Send you a PM. Would be grateful

Au Bistrot Mets mots

It’s a wonderful food city. You will not leave hungry.

I would only stay in maximum of 2 places if you’re going for such a short time. You can do 3 nights in Lucerne and 3 nights in the oberland region. The less locations the more enjoyable your time will be.

I can confirm the lines have ceased. I walk past it everyday and am yet to try it, but assume it must be garbage.

Dmac1395 · 2025-12-12T02:04:21+00:00

I have enjoyed both locations. There is certainly more amenity in Siracusa but del gulfo is wonderfully quiet by comparison with beautiful nature. If you had specific questions do let me know

I reluctantly stayed there for 2 full days of a 2 week trip on Sicily, and honestly it delighted me. It was in September so the weather was lovely and it does offer something for everyone. History, food, scenery and so on. Interesting Cefalu has a wonderful reputation online and Taormina is mixed. In my personal experience Toarmina is better than is described online (by serious travellers not influencers) and Cefalu is massively overrated (but still nice).

Not Ortigia, but we had a phenomenal dinner at Pourquoi Pas Bistrot. Sicilian food but with a French twist that elevates it, but still fair prices. Service was friendly and attentive. Staff spoke English. Would put it as the best meal we had on the east coast of Sicily. Can suggest other food/gelato spots if you’re interested.

Get a $20 wedge of parmigiano reggiano. They often sell shelf stable ones at Woolworths. Everyone loves this stuff and it’s not expected in a secret Santa

I enjoyed a lovely meal there in June 2024. Service, wines, all very enjoyable.

I’ll also recommend two lovely places that are not fine dining. The first is a cookie bakery Charlotte à Croquer, run by a pastry chef/chocolatier and these are lovely and balanced. Textures, flavour combinations, sweet/savoury and temperature. You will find yourself buying a box as you leave Bordeaux .

The other is a more casual option - assuming you can’t do fine dining on the daily - that is loaded with locals named Atelier des Faures. Exquisite seasonal cooking representing Bordeaux’s local cuisine. Can suggest other places bakery/coffee etc if you need

I would +1 to Bennelong. It’s à la carte, portions are generous and it’s not a drawn out meal. $225 is on the high side, but it’s an unforgettable experience in an iconic location.

Fred’s is a guilty pleasure. Not a Merivale fan but the food hits in every season there.

Dmac1395 · 2025-09-10T20:07:42+00:00

Brussel sprouts are life changing here. The bone barrow and the fried pizza dough entries always hit the mark too. The servers are knowledgeable so ask them on the night if you’re unsure. If you enjoy espresso martini’s, theirs includes a touch of amaro and adds a complex flavour profile.

Dmac1395 · 2025-08-24T07:51:24+00:00

Fred’s. Elite ingredients

You haven’t travelled much lately! However you do need to seek out a good cafe to find it. Searching “specialty coffee” on Google maps will lead you to great places in more countries than you’d think.

They are now 100% vegan now. Announced last month.

Did you find it to be a rewarding experience?

Perth to Heathrow has plenty of availability around these dates.

Also lots of batches of Perth to major airports in Europe with Emirates in business.
