Kinugawa, Paris

Kinugawa, Paris

Let’s agree on the fact that Paris is not very “strong” for Japanese and sushi restaurants. There are little “real Japanese” places and if there are some, it seems that they are “frozen” in the 70s or 80s different from London or New York where there are many modern sushi…

What can be better to celebrate Bastille’s day than a dinner in the Paul Bocuse restaurant? He is the father of French gastronomy, the legend that has been around for decades. What I really didn’t expect was to meet Mr Bocuse in person as upon the arrival, he went to…
