➖ C O R A • P E A R L➖⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ Hearty • Delightful • Chic ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ British / French | Reservations Recommended | £55-70⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ From the #KittyFisher folk comes @CoraPearlCG. There’s an easiness to the place; it feels lived in, in the very best of ways. Aubrey Beardsley prints adorn the wall and candles flicker on the table, creating a relaxed, quietly elegant space.⁣⁣ ———⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ The food is hearty and enjoyable, perfect for these miserably cold days. Personally, I do think it errs on the slightly expensive side but that’s not to say it’s not worth it; the produce is top notch and the cooking is solid.⁣⁣ ———⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ I ordered the Brown Shrimp Ranhöfer that sat atop two large croutons but immediately had fomo when I tasted my friend’s agnolotti filled with cow’s curd + Jerusalem artichoke + shavings of truffle. For mains, we all went for the veal complete with delicious celeriac & a mini jug of bordelaise sauce but the pièce de résistance was without a doubt the chips. I would happily get fat for these bad boys. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ———⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ The potatoes are thinly sliced, loaded with butter and thyme; baked, pressed, cut into rectangular cubes and then deep fried until golden brown. The result is quasi dauphinoise potatoes in chips form - wonderfully soft on the inside with a perfect crunchiness on the outside. I could wang on ALL day about these beauts but I’ll spare you. Go try it for yourself...⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ———⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ The desserts were perfectly fine but if you want to save a few bob, I’d sacrifice these.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ———⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ If you don’t already have a Valentine’s Day reservation and they have availability, get in there fast. ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣BASIC OR BOUGIE? A lil bougie (looks wise) ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ SERVICE is relaxed and welcoming⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ TRY ⁣⁣⁣the chips 🤩⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ GOOD FOR Spenny Catch Ups, Dates, The Rents ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ VIBE is chilled and buzzy ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ GROUPS up to c.6 people I reckon⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣

➖ T A P E S T R Y • J U N G L E ➖⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ One of the reasons I love hotels is that you can experiment - tapestry wallpaper amidst a mini indoor jungle? Why the hell not 🤷🏾‍♀️. Suite pictured: Haydee

➖ T H E • S U I T E • L I F E ➖⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣ Velvet lounging with my mama in tow at #HotelMontecristo. Suite pictured: Alexandre. Write up 👉🏾 and a more in depth piece on www.kanndid.com 👆🏾. Link up top⁣ ⁣ ⁣

➖ M O N T E C R I S TO ➖⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ @HotelMonteCristoParis: this Alexandre Dumas inspired hideaway in Paris's 5th arrondissement is best for those who've been to Paris a few times and don't mind being away from the centre of the action. Although the area is barren of top notch restaurants, the hotel itself is a lovely little retreat; with its sauna and rather plush surroundings - resplendent in velvet and foliage. There are some definite kinks but overall it's a pretty good option for a semi-luxe stay in Paris. Suite pictured: Mercedes. All the deets on www.kanndid.com. Link in bio👆🏾👆🏾👆🏾⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ BASIC OR BOUGIE? In Between ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ ⁣BEDROOM Aesthetics vary from light to dark depending on which rooms you stay but for the suites – on the whole they are dark, sumptuous and exotic. Sizes range from 16m2 – 38m2 ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ BATHROOM Bright and modern. Own brand products⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ SERVICE IS Pretty good, fairly informal, very friendly⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ BREAKFAST Is good. Nice selection of loose teas⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ GOOD TO KNOW Has a swimming pool & sauna (comp as part of your stay) ⁣⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣
