Bistrot Paul Bert

Bistrot Paul Bert

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…

The Roman feast continues

Thanks, Jupiter, to the Roman friends! Like this, we didn’t have to go to a place full of tourists and mediocre food. Instead, we had a lovely lunch in Rome’s Jewish quarter. A very lively trattoria called Giggetto al Portico D’Ottavia. Now, I must confess, I love trattoria Italian food…

We feasted like the Romans…

I don’t know how about you, but when I am Italy I don’t want to eat out in too gastronomic restaurants. For me, Italian cuisine is all about hearty, convivial food that I found in Matricianella, this simple and cosy restaurant in the heart of Rome. I did dine in…

Manresa – the temple of New American gastronomy

As expected, the dinner in Manresa (Los Gatos) was sensational. Everything was flawless – how can it not be? Manresa is on the top of the list of OAD’s “50 Most Recommended Restaurants” and the publicity it has been receiving is more than positive (Chuckeats posts ). A dinner in…

Coi, San Francisco

I have never felt so light after 11-course dinner. Organic gastronomy. This is how I would describe the cooking of Danniel Patterson at Coi restaurant in San Francisco. I really begin to like the New American cuisine – unconditional freshness and quality, respect to the ingredients and intelligence… In archaic…

Christophe Adam chez Fauchon – the new Pierre Herme

I guess that all the most genius French “chef pâtissiers” pass through the legendary Fauchon house before receiving their worldwide glory. Once there was Pierre Herme, now -its the turn of Christophe Adam. And even if he has been working in Fauchon only for few years, this young pastry chef…
