La Felicità, an Italian food theme park in Paris

14,955 Comments

La Felicità is perhaps one of the latest excitement in Paris. Highly invested in aesthetic and experience. The production value is so high that it gave me the feeling of entering a theme park. I mean, what sort of establishment will decorate their toilet door with barbie dolls? Anyways, here’s my experience.

 

Okay, let’s talk about space and capacity:

  • 4496m2 To put it into perspective, a football field is 7140 square meter
  • 1,000 seats
  • 5 kitchens
  • 3 bars

So yeah, upon entrance, it felt really impressive. The hosts greet and explained a bit about the working of the complex, or should I say, Italian food theme park? The place was quite a show stopper.

I went on a Saturday at around 12h30. The entrance was free and the place was busy. Not rubbing shoulders busy, but enough people to feel that the place was getting filled up. The lines were okay, but around 13h00, the queues started to look a bit monterous.

Each kitchen only sell one specific type of food. So if your party wants to have pizza, pasta and burger, you’ll have to queue up in 3 different stalls. Personally, I am not a fan of this system. They have an APP to help with this, but seriously, just walking around with your own tray of food from different stall isn’t that much fun. See why I call the place a bit of a theme park?

The place is an eye candy all the way from the entrance to the toilets. Honestly, EXTREMELY instagramable. They’re thoughtful to have some wooden tables and some white marble finish tables as well. SOOOOO good for bloggers, really. With the the glass / greenhouse sort of roof, the lighting was just AMAZING. So if anything, the look of the place is bloody fantastic. The plates and the trays that they have is clearly strategically curated – matte finished silver trays, decorated dishes and painted cups. Just think about it for one moment. Smart move, right? They definitely got IG’s attention.

Now with that being said, their food varies in hitting my taste notes. My favourite was BBQ Bango Ribs (beef), because it was succulent and flavourful. Something that I may return for. Brownie point to the olive oil that they used with their cheese dishes, very fragrant stuff! However, I cannot say the same pleasantries for the other dishes. The rest were okay and nothing to write home about. The price point was reasonable. 7 euro for a pint of beer. Mains were 8 – 16 euro. Only the t-bone steak was pricier at 48 euro; but this thing was 800g worth of beef action.

Their Caffeteria filled the air with sugar. Look at my pictures and tell me if you can smell the sugar through the screen? My friends demolished that, I had zero interest in these sugary goodies btw, so I can’t comment. Key complaint from me though, their ice tea was FILLED with sugar. It just taste gross and sticky on the tongue. The flavour that I got was Earl Grey (with mango, cardamon, pepper) ice tea. Maybe it’s my poor choice, but if I’ve known that it was mixed with that much sugar, I would have never bought it. Horrible, I only drank like 1/3 and gave up. Thank goodness that I had a better time at the La Birra (beer bar) and the Cocktail bar.

Compared with its sibling restaurant East Mama, the queuing part isn’t so bad. In La Felicità, they have a vibrating button thing; so it is not as lame as East Mama’s “please wait outside” when they have clearly got some empty seats. Not sure if I’ll write about East Mama yet, they’re over hyped and quite sub-par in my opinion. In short, they’re great for IG photos, highly forgettable dishes and worse service than Mc Donald (France).

 

Anyways, back to La Felicità. If you’re looking for a place to study / work, it is definitely a lot better than a Starbucks. They have lots of stations with plugs (8 seats = 8 plugs). I cannot comment on their wifi reliability because I’ve only been there once. From the looks of it, the place looked prepared for this sort of thing. Why else will investors spend money on so many plugs and work stations, right?

Fabulous place for hanging out with friends. I for one ended up spending 6 hours there hanging with friends suffering from multi-food coma and maybe drunkenness as well. So spacious and cosy at the some time. Literately just moving from one spot to another and it felt like a complete different restaurant.

I don’t why on line people are saying that is’t 18 euro per person. It is highly understated in my opinion. It all adds up. I will put it around 35 euro per person per anyone who will at least have 1 drink and 1 main + 1 starter or 1 main + 1 dessert

 

Will I revisit this place? Maybe for work / study, like grab a drink or something. Not sure if I’ll head back for their food though. It will be my top pick for casual hang out with a party of 8+ people though. In Paris, 8+ party is hard. Just out of sheer space sort of perspective? Also, less mess with paying the bill at the end of a traditional restaurant trip.

    Gestionar una prueba de orina puede ser estresante. Por eso, existe una formula avanzada con respaldo internacional.

    Su receta unica combina creatina, lo que ajusta tu organismo y neutraliza temporalmente los marcadores de THC. El resultado: una orina con parametros normales, lista para cumplir el objetivo.

    Lo mas valioso es su accion rapida en menos de 2 horas. A diferencia de detox irreales, no promete limpiezas magicas, sino una estrategia de emergencia que responde en el momento justo.

    Estos fórmulas están diseñados para colaborar a los consumidores a limpiar su cuerpo de residuos no deseadas, especialmente esas relacionadas con el ingesta de cannabis u otras sustancias.

    Uno buen detox para examen de fluido debe brindar resultados rápidos y visibles, en particular cuando el tiempo para desintoxicarse es limitado. En el mercado actual, hay muchas alternativas, pero no todas aseguran un proceso seguro o fiable.

    ¿Cómo funciona un producto detox? En términos claros, estos suplementos funcionan acelerando la expulsión de metabolitos y componentes a través de la orina, reduciendo su presencia hasta quedar por debajo del nivel de detección de los tests. Algunos funcionan en cuestión de horas y su efecto puede durar entre 4 a cinco horas.

    Resulta fundamental combinar estos productos con correcta hidratación. Beber al menos dos litros de agua por jornada antes y después del consumo del detox puede mejorar los beneficios. Además, se sugiere evitar alimentos grasos y bebidas ácidas durante el proceso de uso.

    Los mejores productos de detox para orina incluyen ingredientes como extractos de plantas, vitaminas del tipo B y minerales que apoyan el funcionamiento de los órganos y la función hepática. Entre las marcas más destacadas, se encuentran aquellas que presentan certificaciones sanitarias y estudios de prueba.

    Para usuarios frecuentes de cannabis, se recomienda usar detoxes con ventanas de acción largas o iniciar una preparación temprana. Mientras más prolongada sea la abstinencia, mayor será la potencia del producto. Por eso, combinar la disciplina con el uso correcto del detox es clave.

    Un error común es creer que todos los detox actúan igual. Existen diferencias en dosis, sabor, método de uso y duración del resultado. Algunos vienen en envase líquido, otros en cápsulas, y varios combinan ambos.

    Además, hay productos que incluyen fases de preparación o purga previa al día del examen. Estos programas suelen instruir abstinencia, buena alimentación y descanso adecuado.

    Por último, es importante recalcar que ningún detox garantiza 100% de éxito. Siempre hay variables personales como metabolismo, historial de consumo, y tipo de examen. Por ello, es vital seguir ciertas instrucciones del fabricante y no confiarse.

    Miles de profesionales ya han experimentado su seguridad. Testimonios reales mencionan paquetes 100% confidenciales.

    Si necesitas asegurar tu resultado, esta solucion te ofrece tranquilidad.

    Scientists discovered something alarming seeping out from beneath the ocean around Antarctica
    [url=https://forumpolitika.org/novosti/item/110513-gemcy-gem-cy-novaya-piramida-vasilenko]жесткий анальный секс[/url]
    Planet-heating methane is escaping from cracks in the Antarctic seabed as the region warms, with new seeps being discovered at an “astonishing rate,” scientists have found, raising fears that future global warming predictions may have been underestimated.

    Huge amounts of methane lie in reservoirs that have formed over millennia beneath the seafloor around the world. This invisible, climate-polluting gas can escape into the water through fissures in the sea floor, often revealing itself with a stream of bubbles weaving their way up to the ocean surface.

    Relatively little is known about these underwater seeps, how they work, how many there are, and how much methane reaches the atmosphere versus how much is eaten by methane-munching microbes living beneath the ocean.

    But scientists are keen to better understand them, as this super-polluting gas traps around 80 times more heat than carbon dioxide in its first 20 years in the atmosphere.

    Methane seeps in Antarctica are among the least understood on the planet, so a team of international scientists set out to find them. They used a combination of ship-based acoustic surveys, remotely operated vehicles and divers to sample a range of sites in the Ross Sea, a bay in Antarctica’s Southern Ocean, at depths between 16 and 790 feet.

    What they found surprised them. They identified more than 40 methane seeps in the shallow water of the Ross Sea, according to the study published this month in Nature Communications.

    Many of the seeps were found at sites that had been repeatedly studied before, suggesting they were new. This may indicate a “fundamental shift” in the methane released in the region, according to the report.

    Methane seeps are relatively common globally, but previously there was only one confirmed active seep in the Antarctic, said Sarah Seabrook, a report author and a marine scientist at Earth Sciences New Zealand, a research organization. “Something that was thought to be rare is now seemingly becoming widespread,” she told CNN.

    Every seep they discovered was accompanied by an “immediate excitement” that was “quickly replaced with anxiety and concern,” Seabrook said.

    The fear is these seeps could rapidly transfer methane into the atmosphere, making them a source of planet-heating pollution that is not currently factored into future climate change predictions.

    The scientists are also concerned the methane could have cascading impacts on marine life.
