Koi, New York- not worth a return

Koi (40 W 40 str.) is another copycat of Nobu. I call it “copycat” as the only dish worth a try was the famous Matsuhisa’s “black cod”. Otherwise, the choice on the menu is very small and i didn’t see any original dishes. Even if they try to create the…

Tetou during Cannes festival

After having an apéritif in Eden Roc, yesterday I had dinner in Tetou. (I did get a table the same day. But maybe it was luck as I guess during the Cannes festival even the loyal customers might not get a place! ). Actually, it was funny as there were…

If you want to have a more relaxed dinner rather than having a dinner “under stars” in the romantic La Petit Nice Passedat (2 stars…

Casa Tua, Miami Beach

“Casa Tua” – is an Italian restaurant in Miami Beach. The ambiance and the crowd is chic, and, the most important, the food is excellent. The food is very simple, but fresh. (What Italian restaurant needs more? :)) The tuna tartar or baby spinach salad are the must! What is…
