Update from New York

My trip to New York has been very exciting so far – I met wonderful people and ate/going to eat in some of my “dream” restaurants I’ve always wanted to go (I will post about them soon). One of the most mind blowing discovery is the toro tartare, osetra caviar,…

Morrocan tuna tartare (DB Bistro Moderne)

Speaking of something delicious, the “Morrocan tuna tartare, cucumber raita, chickpeas, harissa” I had for lunch in DB Bistro Moderne a few days ago was mouth-watering. A perfect combination of Morrocan and Indian flavours.

Jean Georges

The three Michelin stars Jean Georges was the most boring and “factory like” gastronomic restaurant I have ever dined. It doesn’t come any close to the three or even two Michelin stars” institutions” in France and in Europe while in New York I could name at least five gastronomic restaurants…

It is not a secret that some of the best chefs on the planet are “French-trained”. Their work in gastronomic restaurants in France brings valuable experience for their careers. That highly influences not only their techniques and style of cooking but also what cuisine they cook. Not surprising- usually French.…

L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon, NY

Still having my fresh memories of my recent dinner in La Table de Joel Robuchon in Paris (16th) I was very interested to see how his New York branch has evaluated. Especially, that the only time I dined in L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon in NY (Four Seasons hotel ) was…

Le Bernardin, NY

I thought I should give a second chance to this 3 Michelin stars seafood restaurant, even if my first time there was very disappointing. I told myself I would choose other dishes which would prove my initial judgements were wrong. Unfortunately, after my dinner in Le Bernardin last Friday, I…

The best burger in Manhattan

No, your eyes are not deceiving you, it is the best burger in NY I have ever eaten. Not that I don’t adore the decadent DB Burger with black truffles and foie gras, but the burger in Burger Joint in Le Parker Meridien hotel brings your taste senses to another…

Kurumazushi vs Sushi Yasuda

Without any question, these two Japanese restaurants serve the best sushi you can get in New York. Kurumazushi ( 7 E. 47th St) and Sushi Yasuda are similar in the way, that they are both very traditional (Kurumazushi even more) and the fish quality is outstanding. There are some aspects…

DB Burger, the burger of your dreams

This is the most gastronomic hamburger you can eat on this Earth. And I had it today, 12.30 pm Eastern Time. The DB Burger, the signature dish at DB Bistro Moderne (one of the restaurants of the renowned chef Daniel Boulud ) contains only the best ingredients. Ground sirloin with…

Since the vegetables master Alain Passard turned the betterave from a worthless vegetable to a luxury item, the other chefs also stopped snobing it. Up till now, I thought that the Alain Passard’s dish ” beetroot with 12 years balsamic vinegar” was without competition. But everything changed when yesterday I…
