The Joel Robuchon potato purée with white truffles. (from the dinner in Four Seasons two days ago). You just can’t resist to this legendary yet simple dish. Because of a considerable amount of butter (250g for 1Kg of potatoes) and precise recipe execution ( I’ve seen how Joel Robuchon makes…

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…

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…

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.

When you are in the Guy Savoy restaurant in Paris you feel like you are in his home. Guy Savoy is not only one of the best chefs in the world (3 Michelin stars) but is very nice and warm in person as well. Even during lunchtime, he is there…

Thai or Japanese fusion restaurants are quite in fashion these days- one could name dozens of them on both coasts of the Atlantic. Unless you are in Thailand though, really authentic Thai restaurants are not that common. Le Banyan (24, place Etienne Pernet, 75015, tel 01 40 60 09 31)…

I already spoke in my previous post how I love Indian cuisine. And the discovery of Ratn (9 Rue de la Tremoille, 75008, tel. O1 40 70 10 09 ), an ” haute gastronomie” Indian just steps from Champs-Elysees was a nice discovery. It’s a brand new Indian restaurant opened…

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…
