Good Morning Everyone! Ladurée is one of those places that have stolen my heart. Since my first time visiting them in Paris, I felt something special about it. The Parisian vibe is very strong in here, everything is elegant and definitely romantic.
My recommendation for today is to take your date for brunch, dinner, or just to grab a coffee.
The place itself is amazing because firstly, it's very private and quiet with music playing in the background, which is great because you can perfectly mingle with people and listen to each other. Something to consider: their menu is beyond exquisite!
The franchise has been in Vancouver for one year, and it's always a pleasure for me to visit them whenever I can.
What to order?
We opt to mix the sweet and salty: Pain Perdu a la Framboise, which consist of the toasts, they came with the raspberry jam and the Rose Chantilly Cream.
If you want to share, I recommend something salty like the Croque Monsieur with Emmental Cheese.
For Coffee:
It all goes to preferences. I love the Latte because you can make it by yourself, it comes with the milk and coffee separate.
The Macarons:
I personally recommend choosing the basic ones such as chocolate, vanilla, pistachio, and raspberry because I feel some of them can taste very artificial.
Here are some personal recommendations before going on a date:
1. Be on time.
2. Dress on the occasion - not too much, but not too casual. Forget about deep cleavages, and stay classy
3. Don't think too much, just enjoy the moment and be yourself. If it's meant to be, it will.
4. Always keep the conversation, ask things about him/herself.
5. Avoid talking about politics and religious topics.
6. Don't be too strict or too formal, there is a big difference between manners and being serious. Try to add a fun spark to your date. Make him/her laugh.
7. Flirt with class. Smile and touch your hair, but don't exaggerate.
8. Always remain truthful from your beliefs.
9. Be modest, don't talk too much about yourself!
10. Behave your manners while you eat, it's very important to know how to manage all the social behavior manners on the table, for example, to know how to hold a wine cup.
