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…

Maison Troisgros – The Genius of Troisgros

Maison Troisgros – The Genius of Troisgros

Maison Troisgros – The Genius of Troisgros

This French culinary temple is located in a remote city with little interest, so only true Michel Troisgros (3 stars Michelin of course!) cooking worshipers will find the restaurant. Michel Troisgros, the third generation of the legendary Troisgros chefs’ family, is a real artist who creates and invents the third-millennium…

Restaurant Le Mas des Herbes Blanches

The restaurant of the hotel Le Mas des Herbes Blanches was a great surprise as the cooking was very daring and delicious. The chef, who succeeds to marry such different products as oysters and cold beef is worth the second Michelin star! The images of the starters which were very…

Berthillon Ice Cream

The Berthillon Ice Cream is probably as mythical as La Duree macaroons. And you don’t need to go far to make sure of that – any nice day or late evening there will be always people queuing outside one of the Berthillon resellers on the Île Saint-Louis. (The list of…

L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon, Paris

I will repeat myself, but L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon (5 Rue de Montalembert ,75007) is my favourite restaurant in Paris. It is not only about the excellent food (tapas – small tasting plates) and chic ambience, but also the great people working there (like Mr Hernandez). L’Atelier doesn’t take reservations…

Back to Tetou!

Back to Tetou!

The dinner in Tetou (one-star Michelin) for me means that the summer is back! I already included this restaurant in my favourites of South Of France last year and I still love it the same as before… Tetou is as famous for its bouillabaisse (which IS the best in the…

Casa Tua, Miami Beach

Casa Tua, Miami Beach

“Casa Tua” – is an Italian restaurant in Miami Beach. The ambiance and the crowd is chic, and, the most important, the food is excellent. The food is very simple, but fresh. (What Italian restaurant needs more? :)) The tuna tartar or baby spinach salad are the must! What is…
