Nobu

Some of my favourite dishes in Nobu. The menus are similar in all the Nobu locations, but I like the one on 57th street (NY) because of its ambience.

Nello’s, New York

Nello’s, New York

Nello’s, New York

Nello’s (696 Madison avenue ,@62 street) – so chic, so Upper Eastside and so beloved by the celebrities and… “ageless” elderly… Without question,this pretentious Upper Eastside Italian is overrated, overpriced and overcrowded… In Nello’s simple pasta (very mediocre) can go for more than $40, the service is horrible and the…

Potato purée by Joel Robuchon

Potato purée by Joel Robuchon

Potato purée by Joel Robuchon

The Joel Robuchon potato purée with white truffles. (from the dinner in Four Seasons two days ago). You just can’t resist to this legendary yet simple dish. Because of a considerable amount of butter (250g for 1Kg of potatoes) and precise recipe execution ( I’ve seen how Joel Robuchon makes…

L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon at the Four Seasons

There is something different between L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon and the rest of the top restaurants in New York… L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon is the ultimate perfection, French precision that makes hard to compete for any restaurant in New York… It is the synergy of Joel Robuchon genius and the…

Black Cod with Miso

Black Cod with Miso

Black Cod with Miso

This is the dish I could eat every day. I have tried it in various Japanese fusion restaurants all around the world, but Nobu’s Matsuhisa version is the best. The fish is baked, so it is almost falling apart (you can easily eat with chopsticks) and it has sweet miso…

Pastis

There is nothing better than fresh and simple food and Pastis (9, Ninth avenue) knows that! I have already written about Pastis, but I thought it would be nice to make some pictures of this beautiful food 🙂 The images from the brunch yesterday.

Bar Masa

If you are not in the mood to spend $400 per person for the prix-fixed menu in Masa, try it’s “smaller sister” restaurant just next door. (Time Warner Center, 4th floor). The sushi and other Japanese dishes are as good as in its legendary sister (They have the same kitchen…

Cafe Gray

Cafe Gray

Cafe Gray

Update. Cafe Gray is closed. Yet another one overrated (1 Michelin star) and overpriced restaurant in NYC… While Cafe Gray ‘s cosy French Brasserie style interior is a nice surprise for the cold Time Warner building, the food was disappointing. It seems that the chef is trying to be original…

Michelin New York 2007

Michelin New York 2007

Michelin New York 2007

The Michelin New York 2007 has a few changes. Or, more, likely, it has fixed some “unreal ratings” it has done the last year trying to please the New Yorkers. As I have already written about the overrated restaurants by Michelin New York 2006, i think the 2007 edition is…

Guy Savoy, Paris

When you are in the Guy Savoy restaurant in Paris you feel like you are in his home. Guy Savoy is not only one of the best chefs in the world (3 Michelin stars) but is very nice and warm in person as well. Even during lunchtime, he is there…
