Are You Team Alfie or Team Gabriel? Let's decode the "Emily in Paris" Romance Dilemma Together!

Ah, Paris—a city of romance, high fashion, and, of course, love triangles.


In the chic universe of Emily in Paris many of us, who are fans of the french Netflix series, are caught in a sartorial spin as they weigh in on the ultimate question: Team Alfie or Team Gabriel? At City Trotter Guide, we're diving into this hot topic, so grab your café au lait, and let’s decode this delicious dilemma.


Gabriel: The Classic Charmer

Gabriel, oh-so-charming and ohhhh so cute french chef with a penchant for freshly baked croissants and spontaneous romance, he really is the epitome of classic Parisian allure. With his effortless style and a heart as warm as his oven, Gabriel represents a nostalgic fantasy of romance. He’s dreamy, dashing, and let’s be honest—his dimples should have their own fan club, IYKYK!

But Gabriel isn’t just a pretty face. His genuine, and somewhat complicated, affection for Emily adds layers to his character. He’s like that favorite, vintage Chanel jacket: undeniably stylish, but with a touch of unpredictability. Would he be your choice? Is he the one who makes your heart race? If you find yourself daydreaming about intimate dinners and sunset strolls along the Seine, Gabriel might just be your choice and maybe you are hoping he is Emily's choice too.

Alfie: The Modern Dandy

Enter Alfie, the perfectly suave Brit who’s more at home in a designer suit than a chef’s apron. Alfie brings that refreshing twist to Emily's Parisian experience. He was an unexpected entrance into the French lifestyle Emily is living, but he has that modern-day demure style with a dash of cheeky humor. Not to mention his knack for turning even the simplest moments into memorable escapades. His sleek, sophisticated style and witty banter offer a contemporary counterpoint to Gabriel’s classic charm.

Alfie is the one who’ll make you fall for the trendy new spots in town and keep you on your toes with his playful approach to love. If you’re leaning towards someone who complements your cosmopolitan lifestyle and adds a bit of British charm and bespoke upscale class to your Parisian dream, Alfie might be your ideal match.

So, Who’s It Going to Be?

Ultimately, whether you’re Team Gabriel or Team Alfie, one thing is clear: both these gorgeous and charming men add unique flavors to Emily’s Parisian adventure. Gabriel is the classic, romantic fantasy with a side of culinary delights, while Alfie is the modern, stylish companion who keeps things fresh and exciting.

At City Trotter Guide, we understand that choosing between these two can be as complex as finding the perfect Parisian croissant. So how do we choose? Can we not indulge in both? Until Emily makes her choice, together we can embrace Gabriel’s classic romance and Alfie’s demure style and energy. After all, in the city of lights and love, anything can happen in the name of romance!


In the end, one thing’s for sure: Paris is always a good idea.
