Tea Time: All day, too!

While surrounded by this French bakery’s wine cellar, you’ll probably get tempted to ditch tea for wine. But, save the latter for dinner and you won’t regret it. La Vie Parisienne hails all the way from Cebu. It’s known for an extensive and delicious selection of bread and pastries, making it absolutely perfect for afternoon tea. La Vie Parisienne’s coconut custard, tiramisu and croissant are must-orders. They don’t offer tea sets, but the fun is in constructing your own!
