Sushi Yoshitake (3*)

If you don’t read at least a little bit of hiragana, you might look for the Suzuryu building for a long time. Like many high-end restaurants in Tokyo’s Ginza, Sushi Yoshitake (3F, Suzuryu Building, 8-7-19 Ginza Chuo-ku Tokyo, tel. 03-6253-7331) is located in an ordinary office building, on an ordinary…

Soelleroed Kro – the best meal in Denmark

For somebody who tends to daydream, Copenhagen can be a dangerous place. I was almost hit by a woman riding a bicycle while walking with my dear Danish friend from the train station to Soelleroed Kro.* But how can you not daydream in Holte, acharming little town located in the…

El Celler de Can Roca

Two green olives hanging from a branch of a well-manicured olive tree… Beautiful, poetic and unexpected as the naturally bitter olives are covered in a thin layer of sweet crunchy caramel and filled with salted anchovies. When I travel alone I usually dine quite early, but as we all know…

One of the dishes at El Celler de Can Roca… Definitely worth the trip even from another part of the world! (Have been quite busy recently, will post about it soon!)

Viajante

If there is one restaurant in London “worth a trip” from another city or even another country it is Viajante. The restaurant is located in East London, in Bethnal Green Town Hall which has been partly transformed into a hotel. The Edwardian and Neo- Classical building is grand and beautiful…

Epicure (Le Bristol)

I’ve already posted about this restaurant a few times, so I won’t review it again, but for me, Epicure (formely Le Bristol) represents a 3 Michelin stars restaurant how it should be. Everything, from the palatial surroundings, delicious food to the impeccable and smart service was perfection.

Red Medicine

Vietnamese inspired Red Medicine in Los Angeles rose to yellow press fame when one of its owners Noah Ellis took a picture of The Los Angeles Times food critic S. Irene Virbila before telling her to leave the restaurant. Personally, I don’t think if it’s the best way to treat your…

3 Michelin stars pot-au-feu

This is the traditional French beef stew pot-au-feu, imagined by the very talented Eric Frechon (Le Bristol, Paris). It was the ultimate decadence of tastes and textures. The rich and luxurious dish was served in three services: bone marrow with celery purée, croutons and black truffle; oxtail, foie gras, truffles…

D.O.M. – back to the Amazon

If you walk around São Paulo’s Jardins area you could be also strolling around an upmarket neighbourhood in Los Angeles or any other megapolis. This is the drawback of modern travelling. You fly to another part of the world, but when you go out from your hotel (I was staying…

Oxtail hachis parmentier with black truffles, oysters in sour cream sauce and oysters in watersea jelly are the dishes that make me come back to Apicius Paris every winter. These classic Jean- Pierre Vigato’s dishes are not on the menu anymore, but if you ask, the restaurant’s kitchen will happily prepare…
