La Colombe d'Or is a legendary auberge located in a charming Saint-Paul de Vence village in Provence. The hotel/restaurant is especially famous for it's impressive art collection( Artists used to pay their bills with paintings or sculptures. ) After the second world war La Colombe d'Or turned into a jet set gathering spot.
Provencal products, especially vegetables and herbs are the main focus at Alain Ducasse restaurant Le Louis XV in Monaco. Maybe the restaurant's plates are gold plated and the sumptuous interior is anything but modern, the cooking is contemporary and light.
"Yankee burger" at Bar Boulud, Mandarin Oriental is the best burger i've had so far in London. (Juicy beef patty, tomato, lettuce, sweet onions ,pickles and home made sesame bun.)
Japanese tapas and sushi restaurant Dinings is a perfect example of when a student surpasses his master. Dining's chef used to work at Nobu, so you will find many Nobu inspired dishes, but there are plently of new creations such as various tapas or contemporary sushi.
"Nasu Miso" aubergine with sweet miso
During the daytime Roberta's is a pizzeria, at night - together with wood fired pizza more elaborate dishes are served. I was there for lunch, so i didn't have a chance to taste the evening dishes,but the thin crust pizzas were delicious. Great atmosphere, cool, artistic crowd- definitely worth a drive from Manhattan.
P.S. The home made lemonade is highly recommended.
Lunch at Eric Frechon's restaurant at Le Bristol hotel in Paris - French cooking tradition at it's best.
