You can only live like a local for so long. After three weeks of eating sandwiches for breakfast in Italy and Lucerne and Paris, we were dying for American scrambled eggs or french toast. We found a great restaurant that was started by an American, called Breakfast in America, or B.I.A., in the Marais district in Paris.
It was decked out in true diner style with stools, booths, and big servings. And the best was that they actually had a "Bottomless cup of joe" for our morning coffee. So, yes, I had french toast in France, which is not easy to come by. The food was superb and freshly made. It was a fun atmosphere too.
I love going to Paris. I will definitely search this out again in the future. I can't remember how much it cost because I was so darn happy. Maybe 15 euro for 2?
