Kozy (⭐) I wish those who want to replicate international cuisines actually research what it should look/taste like. I imagine that if someone put scrambled eggs & bacon bits on a pizza crust and called it a quiche there would be outrage. Well that’s how I felt ordering the “chicken and waffles” at Kozy 😭. A Google search on the top chicken and waffles spots in America would quickly reveal that the way Kozy is preparing it is nowhere near how it should look or taste. The chicken was very under-seasoned and they chose to use a chicken cutlet vs. actual whole chicken pieces. The waffle was underwhelming and came with barely enough syrup to enjoy it. The worst part is then charging an exorbitant fee for something so bland. Sorry to sound harsh but hopefully this will inspire a better approach to the dish. Crispy Soul - Paris (⭐⭐⭐⭐) Remember my rant about staying authentic with American cuisine? This restaurant chain does that! Instead of being gimmicky the chain actually respects the history of dishes like chicken & waffles and provides a delicious unique take to the meal. The flavor is there, the recipe is correct, and the price is perfect! Highly recommend the midi menu for your next trip to Paris or Lyon. (Also the music playlist at the restaurant reminded me of home 😊) Fuwa Fuwa (⭐⭐⭐) I wish the food was worthwhile. Wasn’t as tall and fluffy as the pancakes you get from Japanese-run shops. Not terrible but also not worth the price. Le Calanquais (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) Best octopus I've ever had 🤩It was so crispy in the right places, and well-seasoned/juicy in ALL the places! The carrot puree was buttery smooth and the vegetables weren't neglected at all! Came with a perfect combination of potatoes and herbs that left me obsessed with this seafood dish. Best meal I had in France <3 Le Cafe Turin (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐) I have never had calamari so crispy, well-seasoned, and filling before I arrived here! And please make sure you order the fresh seafood - ESPECIALLY the demi-crab! Bring a friend with you because it's impossible to eat everything on your own. But be glad to know that if you needed to take it home, the food remains fresh for at least one more day.
