I don’t know how about you, the perfect risotto for me is when the rice grains are separate and slightly al dente, it contains very little cheese and cream… And if the risotto is generously sprinkled over with fresh black Périgord truffles its a paradise! You can taste this perfection…

I saw these beauties yesterday in a shop in place de la Madeleine. The price of white Alba truffles this year is crazy!! Maison de la Truffe (19 Place de la Madeleine, 75008)

Without any question, these two Japanese restaurants serve the best sushi you can get in New York. Kurumazushi ( 7 E. 47th St) and Sushi Yasuda are similar in the way, that they are both very traditional (Kurumazushi even more) and the fish quality is outstanding. There are some aspects…

This is the most gastronomic hamburger you can eat on this Earth. And I had it today, 12.30 pm Eastern Time. The DB Burger, the signature dish at DB Bistro Moderne (one of the restaurants of the renowned chef Daniel Boulud ) contains only the best ingredients. Ground sirloin with…

As I expected the dinner in Le Pré Catelan was flawless like last time. The only problem was that the autumn menu didn’t differ that much from the spring menu. Also, the choices in the menu were quite small, so unless you want to eat the same dishes every time,…

Bistrot Paul Bert is already a legend – great food, Parisian spirit. And, even if there were some “food tourists”, I wouldn’t call it touristy… When looking at some people eating there you could feel that they were just enjoying their ordinary lunch in the bistrot next door…
