I'm really enjoying my food education this summer as I make my way through the Monaco Restaurant Group. It's like I've been eating the wrong food the wrong way my entire life hahahaha. We finally had the chance to make our way to the much talked about and highly rated BEEFBAR in Monaco and everything I thought I knew about my tastes in meat was thrown out the window. Like literally it was so much more than I expected and I had really high expectations.

So first off it's in a gorgeous location directly on the Fontvieille port, like whats better than steak and wine with an ocean view right!? So we arrive and immediately get into their extensive Mules cocktail menu of course we chose the tequila one which started the evening off a super lit note. The staff was super funny and knowledgeable and we put our dinner in their hands. The first round started off with mini Kobe burgers (AND A TRUFFLE ONE PRAISE THE LORD), mini tacos with KOBE BEEF (LIKE WHAT EVEN!!!!!), patanegra ham, crispy spinach and bacon salad. So at this point it like heaven and then they took us on a tour to see all the different meats and beefs. I felt like I was a jewellery store, the beefs were all displayed so pristinely with all the information displayed.

So we head back to the table, the wine is flowing, the music is popping and then comes the mains. They prepared the Argentinean Angus Ribeye and Black Angus filet right at the table!!!! I know I seem over excited about that but I guess I've been eating at the wrong places that specialise in meats. OH and the different kinds of mash potatoes they brought, truffle mash, jalapeño mash were ridiculously good. And to top it off for dessert we had the best souffle I have ever had (I haven't had the many tbh hahah). I feel like I walked away from that experience with a higher level of expectations of what dinner should be like, I dunno if that"s a good or bad thing but I enjoyed it so much. The entire night was one of the best I've had in a while from the ambiance and the crowd and the staff and the food. I feel so blessed and lucky that I got to experience it.

I'm obsessed with things that sparkle. I'm obsessed also with unique things for people with a particular taste. So when I got the chance to check out the presentation of Piaget's new High Jewellery collect at Hotel De Paris in Monaco I knew it was gonna hit me in the feels.

"Sunlight Journey is a delightful escapade whose cadence is set by the path of the sun and the moods it instils, alternating between gentle strolls, bursts of joy and shared effervescence. This new collection highlights creative scenery inspired by the Amalfi Coast. A land of fire and volcanoes, a sun-kissed land, a land where natural elements clash with strength and passion, a land of culture that has nurtured the arts; a land of exchanges and sharing, where life itself is considered as an intense and refined work, reflecting the locations where the art of living is cultivated by the Piaget Society."

I think I pretty much identified my engagement and wedding rings for my future 3 husbands while I was there. No words to describe how gorgeous the collection was, but by far my favorite pieces were the blue ones. Blue is my favorite color, maybe its why I love Cote d' Azur so much lol. Anyways if you want to read more about the collection you can do it HERE. Words and even pictures don't do it enough justice. If you are in Monaco you have a chance to check out the Sunlight Journey until August 1.

So I'm not really a morning person, few things get me out of bed quickly. However a good breakfast will do the trick. I'm not talking that coffee and a croissant kinda life...I mean a spread. So when I found out (i'm late) that Bouchon in Monaco was quite known for their breakfast menu I had to try it out. So me, Emma and the dogs rolled out of bed on a rainy early morning in need of some life force in the form of food. We rolled up to Bouchon and got a spot on the terrace so we could people watch, like one of favorite things to do in Monaco, cause lets face it, this is a kooky little country. First thing I noticed was that they had a rather extensive green juice menu, juices for no tension, anti stress juices, energizing drinks. Ok so I'm not that bitch that exactly is into green juices...I just like to say I am lol, but I have to admit that the no stress juice with apple and pepper was pretty on point.

So for breakfast we had salmon and avocado toast because if you don't eat avocado toast at breakfast are you really living? Poached eggs on muffins, scrambled eggs with salmon and herbs (we really like our eggs) croissants (duh this is france) and fresh fruits. I'm always weird about eggs in restaurants and that they will be dry and gross (thanks america) but the eggs at Bouchon were cooked very well and arrived to us fast. The salmon was fresh and flavorful (yay for no salmonella fears). The kombucha was delicious. The ambiance of Bouchon is quite different during the day than it is at night. It's a very diverse crowd of ladies who lunch, young mothers post workout, business men, and well heeled tourists. The staff was super friendly and attentive. For any breakfast enthusiasts I would totes tell you to get your ass on over to Bouchon, post up with a juice and some eggs and chill.
