What’s a typical day for an editor of a Paris magazine?
I am lucky that I get to do what I love and that every day is very different. I could be in front of my computer all day today replying to emails, writing articles or editing and approving layouts, and tomorrow I could be running around all day discovering new things for my readers, from the coolest bars to the season’s must-have accessory.
If you want to get out of the city – where do you go?
Home! And if I cannot get away long enough to get back to Melbourne I love to spend a weekend in London, Italy or a couple of days in Dubai to get some sun.
What are your favourite bars in Paris?
I love Manko, they make the best Pisco Sour, and Hotel Costes for the great people watching.
I also like Le Perchoir bars, both in the 11th and on the rooftop of BHV (which by the way is open on Sundays), they make great cocktails and they both boast great views of the city.
What are your favourite restaurants in Paris
I love Loulou, Daroco and Le Coq because it’s just near my place, so when I don’t want to venture out far I just go there, the food is good and on the way there and back you have the best view of the Eiffel Tower.
For a more refined dinner I would have to say Alain Ducasse at the Plaza Athénée, I am a huge fan of his cuisine and the restaurant itself is exquisite.
