*A diner in Paris?!*

That's right, a real diner in Paris... 2 Actually!

Its name is "Breakfast in America"

If you feel like spending an American night or if you fell home sick,
the BIA diner will be glad to welcome you!

This diner was opened by a former American screenwriter in France who wanted to share his passion for pancakes, fried bacon and coffee filter more than anything. So one day, he decided to put a small touch of America in Paris.

The formula is simple:
the breakfasts are served at all hours,
burgers from noon

The only difference with the USA is that Breakfast in America also serves wine (and beer)!


MY OPINION

(picture of me and my favorite bacon cheeseburger)

I took a bacon cheeseburger, an AW root beer et a NY cheesecake.

Ambiance
Waitors and Waitresses are very warmhearted, cheerful and friendly.

Dish
A bacon cheeseburger with 2 real fried bacon slices with a unique taste.

Desert
Cheesecake a little bit of chantilly cream and a cute rasberry grout dawing.

Soda
1 can of AW root beer that brought back a lot of memories.
And finished my meal with the famous Bottomless Mug O'Joe.

/!\ADVICE/!\
Apparently, in the waitors' opinion, French people are fond of American food, so before going to the BIA diner, anticipate at least 30 minutes in the waiting line, on any days, and 10 minutes of walking for the digestion.


Bon appétit et n'hésitez pas à nous partager votre avis!
