This beautiful Viennese salon serves what can only be described as the greatest hot chocolate in the world. Don't bother ordering any of the delicious pastries - half a cup of this is enough to wipe out the most demanding appetite. Decadent, indulgent and glorious.

Your archetypal Gallic nosh is done nowhere better than at the utterly fabulous steak-frites specialist Le Relais de l'Entrecote (they do nothing but, you can't book ahead and there's no menu).

Pick up anything in a Colette bag (or, failing that, just the bag): still Paris's most consistently cutting-edge concept/lifestyle store, Colette remains achingly hip (and, unfortunately, horribly expensive).
