Romantic Living - Have a Parisian Breakfast at Home

Start the day with a French-style breakfast at home!

One of the most delightful experiences of being in France is having your first meal of the day at a sidewalk cafe. There’s no better place to savor your first cup of cappuccino and buttered croissant than at a petit outdoor table with the morning sun gently warming you as you watch the fashionable residents stroll past.

How’s how to recreate the sidewalk cafe feel in your own home:

romantic homes
  • A small round table is the foundation of your at-home cafe. If it has an elegant style, like this classic marble tabletop, it does not require a tablecloth.
  • Have your cappuccino (or coffee) in a café au lait bowl and pretend you’re in Paris. You can find these bwls in most home-décor and culinary shops.
  • Add eye-opening color to the table with an assortment of fruit tarts that will give you a sweet start to the day.
  • A pewter-and-glass pitcher makes for an interesting and elegant serving piece.
  • A warm loaf of French bead should always be on the menu at your cafe, as should a small vase or pitcher with delicate flowers.
