Sushi-B

Something unimaginable just few years ago, Paris has turned into one of the best destinations for authentic Edo-mae style sushi outside of Japan. ( in fact, for modern Japanese cuisine as well). Opened just one month ago, Sushi-B is the latest high-end sushi-ya opening and 4th proper, Tokyo style counter…

Neige D’Été

It’s nothing to be proud of, but Instagram has made me lazy. I really hope you have been following me anyway – https://instagram.com/luxeat/ :). Before I post all the backlog posts from Stockholm and Barcelona, I must share some photos from Neige D’Été, probably one of the hottest, yet also…

Ledoyen by Yannick Alléno revisited

One year after visiting Ledoyen for the first time since Yannick Alléno took it over, I must say it has evolved and improved a lot. (Ledoyen got back it’s 3 Michelin stars just few months after the reopening.) Alléno is one of the unique contemporary chefs who is capable to…

Below are the images from my lunch at the newly opened La Grande Maison by Joël Robuchon in Bordeaux. It is located in a stunning house turned boutique hotel, which is owned by French wine magnate Bernard Magrez. For years, I’ve been a big fan of “l’ateliers” by Joël Robuchon…

Passage 53

Two Michelin starred Passage 53 is still one of my favourite fine dining restaurants in Paris. In fact, with time it just got better and better. (My previous visits took place in 2009 and 2013) Japanese chefs are the champions when perfect ingredients are concerned. This meal was not an…

Alain Ducasse at Plaza Athénée

I am a little late with this post from my dinner at Alain Ducasse back in July, but I was so uninspired by the meal, that I couldn’t force myself writing anything about it. First of all, let’s start with the positive. Redesigned by Patrick Jouin et Sanjit Manku, the…

Private lunch at Alain Passard’s farm

Not so long along, vegetables played a secondary role on the world’s best tables, back up dancers to a star piece of red meat or fish. But thanks to the visionary work of French chef Alain Passard, vegetables now take centre stage at restaurants around the world, from Los Angeles…

Akrame

Photos from my lunch at Akrame, whose chef Akrame Benallal was one of the youngest chefs ever to receive 2 Michelin stars ( at the age of 32, in 2014). What I like about Akrame is how he marries fresh ideas with traditions. A wonderful, highly recommended place. P.S. Do…
