la vie parisienne

if you look at lavie from the outside, you will really think its just another liquor or wine store but if you'll get inside, especially at night, this place is gorgeous! this was my second visit, the first time was sometime in 2017 but that was daytime so i wasnt really astounded during my first visit. my 2nd visit was last night and i was stunned! lavieis so gorgeous at night, it is a total instagram-worthy. the ambience inside is so relaxing that all you want to do is stay on the couch while sipping your wine or coffee. you can choose alfresco and indoor, they have a wine cellar and a wide selections of wines and draft beers, they also have some french pastries such as french macarons, croissant, breads and et al. a bit pricey but reasonable to its taste and presentation. we only ordered coffee and pastries, cannele, waffle and croissant so i cant say much about their food, so far though, i love their croissant, it was fresh, buttery, a bit salty which makes it more palatable! their waffle was chewy, it was good! the cannele, you can taste the rum and vanilla in it and i love the caramelized coating or crust, it was delicious! if you want to de stress from the long day at work then this place is right for you. it is a nice place to unwind, chill and relax. their staff were not friendly but their french chef was friendly.

lavieparisienne is the best place to chill and hang out with your friends. the place is really jam-packed when you go there late at night. it is best you go there at around 4:30 in the afternoon especially when you're up for taking sunset photos for your instagram feed. i love their pan choco and it's my all time favorite and i always order it whenever we go there. their sparkling wines are one of the best!

what really drew us to laviewas the ambiance. it was cozy, chill and elegant. but as for the food, we had pasta and wine. although the wine was good, i couldn’t say the same for the pasta. it was, at best, mediocre. i expected more for a european themed resto. what really delighted me was the pastries. they’re a must taste! :’d
oh and we also had the gelato. there so many flavors you can choose from and some are uncommon flavors.

all in all, lavieis an ig worthy place and pastries are to die for.

this place can get a bit crowded and parking can become difficult. it is sure one of the better looking and instagram-able places in the city because of their pretty lights and attractive canopies. the food and drinks tasted okay, and are reasonably priced.  the restroom needs more maintenance.

also, lavieis very accessible (and affordable) to many, that's why i think a lot of people continue to patronize this place. if you are into "exclusivity", this place isn't for you. consider it one of the overrated places in zomato. nevertheless, this is a good spot to unwind and hang-out.

the best ambience, blown away by the laviepizza, pasta, bread, ice cream, and wine. an amazing, kind, and accommodating staff. an overall great experience and a perfect evening. will come back here soon!

great ambience and great selection of bread, dessert, ice cream and even food. this resto also have options to sit inside, outside or at the 2nd floor. tried several dishes here like the vegetariana and laviepizza. both tastes great like an oven-brick pizza but the crust is not too crunchy. the pork roast and caramelized pork belly are okay, nothing fancy... although the salmon carbonara and the beechwood smoked ham carbonara tastes the same, the pasta itself is cooked very well (al dente) and stays saucy even after several minutes. i like it.

on drinks-the ube beer and the wheat beer are good. the moscato white wine is also good.

alot of people even on a weeknight. im just curious though why this french-inspired restaurant is more famous for its pizza and pasta.

lavieparisienne is one of my favorite hangout spots in cebu. i love the laid back and contemporary vibes of the place mixed with the right amount of parisian charm. they have a pretty good selection of food and wine.

the bolognese and pesto pasta we ordered were good. ambiance is great. service, however, was terrible.

we had to follow up for our laviepizza more than 6 times. around 30 minutes after our pasta were served, they told us to wait 7 more minutes for the pizza. more than 7 minutes passed and we were told to wait 10 more minutes. still waiting as of writing. come on, man.

i enjoyed my visit in laviewith my friends and workmates. the ambiance was good and unique, specially during at night. their food was great and delicious. its a good place to bond and and bring people together, the staff were nice and accommodating. i'd want to come back anytime soon with my family.

lavieparisienne was one of the restaurants that appeared more than twice when i searched for the best places to eat in cebu city. no regrets coming here! ambiance was great, as well as the food. the strawberry wine was really good! best to come here at night:)

the trees with pink lights and the furniture make this place a lovely hang-out spot for some wine and cheese, and perhaps some chocolate truffles too, however this place seems too crowded every time i visit and the quality of the french macarons are not as good as they were when lavieparisienne just opened. the breads are a little too expensive for their sizes, though not significantly better-tasting than the ones found in other french bakeries in cebu. this is still a good place to drop by if you are looking for good yet inexpensive wine.

la vie: wines upon a time in cebu city. a french style go-see place which offers french baked breads, cakes, chocolates, pizza, beer and famous wines.

ambience: classy and cosy. instagram-worthy place from inside and outside. this has a winery library, an elegant dining place inside and vibrant stylish place outside.
drink: for the red wine i tried sauvignon wine. it was really good, a little strong and has a bold taste. partnered this with chocolate and cheese which made me drink more. i also loved their buddha beer, lighter taste than corona beer.
food: i did not try their food except for their cheese and chocolates which were really good.
price: food and drinks are actually pricey, but we got to find cheap wine for 400 pesos. look for sauvignon wine.
service: laviebarmen and servers were not accommodating, they just take your order and do not offer something to make your experience worth visiting. they were not smiling. what happened to us was more on self-service.

if you are travelling with friends, significant other, or with your family, do not miss lavieparisienne on your list.

this french restaurant may just look a simple cafe on the outside but on the inside it houses a very lit garden where one can dine. it is a bakery, french restaurant and wine house in one!

it has every thing you need from salad to pasta, to main dishes, side dishes, cold cuts, soup, pizza, and dessert among others. price ranges from p80 to p1,200 but some meals are good for sharing.

but lavieparisienne also sells gelato or ice cream.

lavieparisienne owned by michel lhuiller, is best known for its wine so that's what we ordered when we visited the place. a bottle is priced less p290 and there's an extensive list of wine selection.

while you cap off the night with wine, you can also enjoy the view as even its indoor had pretty interiors.

the outdoors, on the other hand, is free seating with lit seats, tent-seats, sculpted plants and other displays.

overall, it has a chill ambiance and is also romantic.

there's also a lavieparisienne in makati but this is still a must visit resto.

been to laviefor quite sometime when they first started. ambience is improved and nice now but no maintenance, there’s a large group of ants or maybe a colony already on their bean bags chair. since there are low lighting on that area , there’s big chances you will not see and just sit down directly.

lavieparisienne is one of the best spots to hang out here in cebu. the place has a great ambiance especially at night. when you stay inside, their music makes you feel that you are in a jungle. the place gets too crowded especially during pay day because for some, pay day is fly day. i prefer to stay outside and enjoy the lights and food. the food is just affordable but nothing special and they have variety of wines to choose. the staff were fine but not so friendly. i recommend this place for those who wants a very nice ambiance at a reasonable price.
