The Epicure Restaurant is an exquisite restaurant located in Paris, France that serves quite the fine-dining. Not only does this place sound cool, the restaurant holds a status of 3 Michelin Stars which is an honor for it shows how highly ranked their fine dining is.

Inherited from my mother's love for baking, I have a love for pastries. I was always interested in the French culture and as I delved deeper, I began to adore their pastries. Specifically, their french macarons. From the miniature cakes, eclairs, creampuffs, creme brulee, and even croissants...having a vacation in France gives me a chance to finally try their authentic and mouth-watering desserts.
