L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon at the Four Seasons

There is something different between L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon and the rest of the top restaurants in New York… L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon is the ultimate perfection, French precision that makes hard to compete for any restaurant in New York… It is the synergy of Joel Robuchon genius and the…

Black Cod with Miso

Black Cod with Miso

This is the dish I could eat every day. I have tried it in various Japanese fusion restaurants all around the world, but Nobu’s Matsuhisa version is the best. The fish is baked, so it is almost falling apart (you can easily eat with chopsticks) and it has sweet miso…

Pastis

There is nothing better than fresh and simple food and Pastis (9, Ninth avenue) knows that! I have already written about Pastis, but I thought it would be nice to make some pictures of this beautiful food 🙂 The images from the brunch yesterday.

Bar Masa

If you are not in the mood to spend $400 per person for the prix-fixed menu in Masa, try it’s “smaller sister” restaurant just next door. (Time Warner Center, 4th floor). The sushi and other Japanese dishes are as good as in its legendary sister (They have the same kitchen…

Cafe Gray

Update. Cafe Gray is closed. Yet another one overrated (1 Michelin star) and overpriced restaurant in NYC… While Cafe Gray ‘s cosy French Brasserie style interior is a nice surprise for the cold Time Warner building, the food was disappointing. It seems that the chef is trying to be original…

Michelin New York 2007

The Michelin New York 2007 has a few changes. Or, more, likely, it has fixed some “unreal ratings” it has done the last year trying to please the New Yorkers. As I have already written about the overrated restaurants by Michelin New York 2006, i think the 2007 edition is…

Le Bernardin – incredibly ordinary experience

Le Bernardin – incredibly ordinary experience

Le Bernardin – incredibly ordinary experience

The highly anticipated dinner in the so-called “the best restaurant in NY ” Le Bernardin (3 Michelin macarons) was a big disappointment. Honestly, for me its incomprehensible how Michelin inspectors can put Eric Ripert’s cooking on the same level as the talent of such chefs like Guy Savoy, Michel Troisgros…

Downtown Cipriani

Downtown Cipriani is one of my favourite Italian restaurants in NY. It is especially nice to sit in the terrace when it’s sunny. I thought I should share this image of “orecchiette with green peas”. I just love the colours!

The Best Pizza in New York

Who could tell that the best pizza in New York just steps away from my door? Cafe Fiorello is a great and not pretentious place to have lunch. I didn’t try the other food there, but the pizza is extraordinary. The crust is crispy and thin as paper. And as…

Craft – back to basics

Craft – back to basics

Craft – back to basics

I always thought that creativity is a must to be rewarded with Michelin stars, but Craft (1 star) proves different. Here simplicity is the key. The menu is deliberately divided in such basics as “fish and shellfish”, “charcuterie”, “meat”, “salads”,”vegetables”, “mushrooms”, “grain”, etc as well as according to different ways…
