Séb being the amazing person that he is, did what any perfect boyfriend would do; got his broad liquored up and took her out for drinks. He didn't just take her anywhere but to a bar/restaurant that was practically designed for her.
This was a magical place where...
are brought to the table after ordering. Said bar has happy hour of 7 euros cocktails, instead of 15. 15 euros for a drink!? That's outrageous, Ella! I agree, I agree, but when....
and fresh fruit, are strong enough to have you dancing on the table after one, and come in these vintage glasses, it's worth it.
What about the ambiance?
Great question. Thank you for asking.
If the giraffe table cloths, leopard print banquettes and framed photos of Marilyn weren't enough,
Brigitte Bardot, Françoise Hardy and France Gall were playing as if we time warped back to Paris in the 60's.
The owner, who was in head-to-toe leopard print,
and fashioned a fire engine red bouffant might still think we are in the 60's.
My kind of gal.
So it's about to get more intense in here...
Are you ready?
A little bit gaudy? Yes.
A little bit bordel? Totally.
A lot amazing? YES.
C'est tellement moi!
Le Temple, is now the official bar of Ella Coquine. I've been wanting to come here for over two years, but MF never wanted to sit in a room with feather boas draped over gold framed photos of Marilyn, and sit on over stuffed leopard print couches. Tant pis pour lui! I guess it takes a real man to do that! Kudos to Séb for reading my mind, toughing it out, and picking the absolute perfect place to celebrate my blogaversary!
If you can handle the kitch, Happy Hour is from 15h to 20h, 7 days a week. You know where I'll be this summer. Cheers!
