Robuchon still rocking

I know, I know I am a little biased – I speak a lot about Joel Robuchon. I do agree that the venture has become “ a luxurious chain”, but to be honest until now the concept is working perfectly well. One of the reasons for the restaurants’ success is…

Le Comptoir du Relais

Yves Camdeborde is called “the pope” of “bistronomie”. Years ago he quit his career of “chef étoilé” at Crillon and went for the democratization of gastronomy by opening La Régalade. Since 2005 Yves Camdeborde runs Le Comptoir du Relais ( 9 carrefour de l’Odéon, 75006, tel. 01 44 27 07…

Revisiting Le Temps au Temps

As I’ve posted almost two years ago Le Temps au Temps bistro quintessentially represents the “bistronomie” idea. No “brigade” in the kitchen, three waiters for one table or expensive tableware. The pocket-size bistro on Paul Bert street has only one waiter and two people cooking. One of them is basque…

Alain Ducasse at Plaza Athénée

Alain Ducasse is French haute cuisine, French haute cuisine is Alain Ducasse. Well, maybe not, but without doubt, he is one of the famous French chef in the world and his name has become a synonym of the French gastronomy. It was my third time at Alain Ducasse’s Parisian location…

Lobster at Tetou

Lobster at Tetou

Lobster from Tetou from my last night dinner. Usually, I don’t like lobsters because of their often chewy texture, but this one was not chewy at all and the sauce was to die for. It is made of the “lobster juice” (the water lobster was boiled), cognac, butter, lemon and…

Aida

Aida

Dining in Aida was like travelling to Japan. The sober and discrete exterior and interior, warm but reserved (in a good way) service and delicious cooking with ingredients of the highest quality. It is also the only Japanese (teppanyaki) restaurant in Paris to have a Michelin star which makes reserving…

Apicius- the most luxurious bistro in Paris?

The most luxurious bistro? I know, it is crazy to call this two Michelin stars restaurant located in the sumptuous hotel particulier in the centre of Paris, “a bistro”. But since the post by Food Snob, I couldn’t but be more and more convinced that many creations of Jean-Pierre Vigato…

The treasures and pleasures of rue Saint-Anne

Konnichiwa! I have been eating a lot in rue Saint Anne and its surroundings lately. Lunches, dinners, but main lunches as my Japanese courses are not far away. In fact, the main reason why I started learning Japanese is the Japanese food and in the little Japan of Paris, you…
