le voltigeur.

Is it bad that during a ten day stay in Paris, we ate lunch at the same restaurant five times?

We discovered Le Voltigeur on one of our first days in Paris and clearly, we couldn't get enough. It's situated on the perfect people-watching corner in le marais and has some of the best lunch food I've ever tasted. There is no menu; it's whatever quiche, croque monsieur, soup and salad the chef feels like making that day.

I ordered the quiche every time. I couldn't resist the cute, personal-sized shape.

Their cafe cremes quickly became an addiction as did the chocolate caramels they're served with (which we have since bought and taken to stashing in our purses at all times). We had the same handsome waiter every day and he wore the same chambray shirt every day. We loved him for it.

One of my favorite things to do when I travel is to find those perfect spots and visit them over and over until I feel like a native...glorious. :)

olivia, i can't believe you found that little place. when george and i were in paris in feb we came across it and fell in love with it. i didn't even know what it was called, but as soon as i saw your photos i knew it was the same place. and then when you wrote about the menu....i was like aahh omg! its amazing isnt it!xx

I totally understand. Sometimes you're so charmed by one place that you don't feel the need to go elsewhere. My husband and I were in Munich for 2 days and ate 3 meals in the same restaurant down the road from our hotel!!
