Don't get jealous now.
I thought I'd share some pix of the food I ate while vacationing in Paris, Barcelona and London. All low carb/sugar and all so very tasty! Let's start with Paris...
![017 Here is what I avoided!](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/017-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=017-300x225.jpg)
Bunless burgers! Georgia was eating some sort of meat and cheese fondue thingy. This was in the Mouffetarde area.
![023 Our first day in Paris - Good eating! the kids tempered their fry intake but they were cooked in duck fat so it was hard!](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/023-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=023-300x225.jpg)
My favorite meal in Paris. there was so much duck fat I figured the taters glycemic load was pulverized. Still I didn't eat all of them.
![069 Duck leg confit and taters swimming in duck fat.](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/0691-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=0691-300x225.jpg)
![072 Here we are awaiting our meal at...jeepers I forget!](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/072-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=072-300x225.jpg)
We shared a nice pate plate:
![075 So good!](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/075-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=075-300x225.jpg)
![074 This wine was outstanding!](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/074-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=074-300x225.jpg)
![076 Bone marrow to die for!](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/0761-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=0761-300x225.jpg)
![082 Linda had a beef stew that was luscious - like beef cream soup.](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/082-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=082-300x225.jpg)
![078 My brother in law had some sort of sausage medley.](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/078-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=078-300x225.jpg)
And what did I choose as my main? You guessed it!
![080 Yeah, low carb gets so boring. Same old, same old. I miss my pasta. NOT!](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/080-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=080-300x225.jpg)
Georgia ate well too as you can see.
![079 Veal chop heaven! She went easy on the taters.](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/079-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=079-300x225.jpg)
![089 Creamy creme brulee for dessert. We all shared.](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/089-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=089-300x225.jpg)
Though I don't eat much dairy, this place sure had some seriously amazing stuff!
![086 Say cheese!](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/086-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=086-300x225.jpg)
We took two Fat Bike tours - one in Paris and one in Versailles. Great trips!
![037 Fat Bike tour in Paris. Amber was working off her carbs!](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/037-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=037-300x225.jpg)
Onto Barcelona...
![116 Our first meal in Barcelona. Mussels and chicken paella on the way.](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/116-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=116-300x225.jpg)
![117 As I ate my food, this was the image to my right. Talk about waiting for the ball to drop!](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/117-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=117-300x225.jpg)
We ate at a very nice seafood place by the sea and drank many a Tinto Verano. The drink is a light alcohol wine mixed with bubbly water and various citrus fruits inside. Very refreshing! Hat tip to Mike Eades my co-author for the heads up on this drink!
Here was my meal:
![127 The little tiny cockles were fantastic!](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/127-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=127-300x225.jpg)
Amber was hooked up with a hunk of sirloin:
![126 Amber's steak. It was like butta!](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/126-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=126-300x225.jpg)
![143 In front of 4Gats - Picasso frequented this eatery.](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/143-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=143-300x225.jpg)
Linda is about to feats on rabbit shoulder stew:
![148 Sorry bunny but...](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/148-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=148-300x225.jpg)
Steak with foie gras on top. Yes, eating low carb is so bland and limiting:
![150 The portion was too small!](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/150-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=150-300x225.jpg)
Amber's steak was so thick she got a helping hand from the kind waiter:
![151 Why thank you!](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/151-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=151-300x225.jpg)
Our last lunch in Barcelona. We were almost dragged in by the manager. He talked a good talk and when he said the restaurant was also gluten free certified we were in! Take a look:
![156 The label in the center certified them as a gluten free providing eatery.](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/156-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=156-300x225.jpg)
![160 Believe it or not, gluten free rolls and a pitcher of Tinto.](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/160-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=160-300x225.jpg)
A huge chunk of fatty meat:
![161 This meal was delicious. And the sauce was gluten free too!](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/161-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=161-300x225.jpg)
OK onto merry olde England!
The food was not as good on average in the U.K. compared to Paris and Barcelona. But we did find a few places that were as good like a little gastro-pub in South Kennsington called Bumpkin.
![036 We stumbled upon this fantastic gastro-pub called the Crown and Goose. A must visit eatery when in Camden.](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/036-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=036-300x225.jpg)
This dish was scrumptious:
![037 Wild pigeon! (I hope...)](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/0371-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=0371-300x225.jpg)
![Dinner at Trullo Dinner at Trullo. Fantastic. We read about this place an article by Gwyneth Paltrow.](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Dinner-at-Trullo-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=Dinner-at-Trullo-300x225.jpg)
![Georgia's hen at Trullo All that hen for me?](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Georgias-hen-at-Trullo-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=Georgias-hen-at-Trullo-300x225.jpg)
I neglected to take a pic of my dish or Linda's.
Saying goodbye:
![Last English breakfast at Heathrow airport Last breakfast in the U.K.](https://blog.slowburnpersonaltraining.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Last-English-breakfast-at-Heathrow-airport-300x225.jpg?width=300&height=225&name=Last-English-breakfast-at-Heathrow-airport-300x225.jpg)
I hope you enjoyed this gastro-post. We certainly enjoyed eating it all!
The moral of this story is, low carb never gets boring or tasteless no matter where you go.
