Excursions: Food and Beverage

La Vie Parisienne or Life of the Parisian in English is a wine boutique owned by famous French business tycoon in Cebu - The Lhuilliers. I have been to this place a couple times, from the time it started with just a wine store housed in a container truck to its lavish cherry blossoms and magical themed of it today, I personally have witnessed how this boutique has transformed over time. This place is perfect for friends to unwind and do their chit chat over a bottle of wine and a slice of cheese. French baked breads are also available for those who want to get a little of carbs.

La Vie Parisienne is located at 371 Gorordo Avenue, Cebu City with contact number, +63 32 260 4388.

They are open 24 hours on Fridays and Saturdays while they operate from 6AM to 12 midnight for the rest of the week.

This is the colorful bar just outside the wine cellar. Check how the bar with its chairs changes its color every now and then.

Isn't this place too magical for a toast?

A closer look at this magical dome!

For better view of the whole place, you may opt to sit on the second level.

Another new addition of cozy and colorful chairs.

01.03.15. Here with my friend from Sydney - Yanti.

Cheers to a better 2015!

This was taken years back at the wine cellar!

01.02.15. It was such a nice and fun night with our very good friend from Sydney - Yanti. This is her nth time to be in Cebu thus, we decided to go somewhere new to catch up.

The group agreed to dine at Blue Elephant Sky Lounge at the 15th level of Apple One Tower, along Ayala, Cebu Business Park. Dining at the Sky Lounge would require a reservation. This was already taken cared by Lyzel and Beverly. When making a reservation, you need to choose your preference of dining, whether Al Fresco (outdoor dining) or in their VIP lounge (indoor dining). We chose the latter as the weather at that time was a bit unfriendly.

This is the picturesque view of the Ayala Mall from the Sky Lounge.

The VIP Lounge (indoor dining). This room is air conditioned and accentuated by its creative work of arts.

Al Fresco Lounge. This area gives you a panoramic 180 degrees view of Cebu City. This is perfect for group of friends to catch up while enjoying their glass of cocktails.

The Bar.

Too bad I wasn't able to take a photo of all our food. I got pretty messed up there. Empty stomach is hard to fight indeed. Below are some of the food we ordered. Crispy pata, being the king of Filipino dishes is on top.
