Amaya

Amaya

I was sceptical before my dinner in Amaya – almost sure that it’s just another fashionable Indian calling itself modern (I’ve been to so many of them), but all that is modern is the fancy interior and crazy martinis, or, worse, European cuisine mixed with Indian spices. In fact, it…

New Tayyabs, London

New Tayyabs, London

New Tayyabs, London

I’ve read many positive things about New Tayyabs (Zagat 28/30!!) “authentic” Pakistani in Whitechapel, where you have to “queue to get a table”, the prices are “negligible” and the food is to “die for”, simply “the best South Eastern Asian in London”. We didn’t have to wait for a table,…

Kyo Ya, New York

Kyo Ya, New York

I wish I went to Kyo Ya (94 East 7th str. tel. 212 982 4140) before diving into the mysterious kaiseki experience in Kikunoi, Kyoto last spring. Maybe I would have enjoyed Kikunoi more. Degustating kaiseki dinner without certain preparation and knowledge is the same as going to a 3…

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.

Hanawa, Paris

Hanawa, Paris

Hanawa, Paris

For those who love sushis, Paris is not the best place to be. It’s not that there are no Japanese restaurants – there are, but most of them are so way behind their counterparts in NY or London that you can’t but notice the inferior quality of fish or the…

The cantine of Dave

The cantine of Dave

Dave ( 12 Rue de Richelieu, 75001,tel.: 01 42 61 49 48 ) is the PLACE to be during the Paris fashion week. Old fashioned boudoir style interior, red walls hidden by polaroids of top models, actors and fashion people. And, of course, Dave, the main reason why all these…

From Lithuania with love

From Lithuania with love

Those who’ve been reading my blog probably know that I come from Lithuania. I’ve been living in Paris and New York for almost ten years now, but I have always a big pleasure to come back to my home country and eat some of the Lithuanian specialities. Yes, they are…

News from Tetou

Tetou is one of the principal reasons why I love to go to the South of France. And it is not because this simple place on a beach is frequented by celebrities. When you try the renown Tetou bouillabaisse for the first time you immediately understand that the celebrity in…

La Régalade

La Régalade

When I opened the menu of La Régalde ( 49 av. Jean Moulin, 75014, tel. 01 45 45 68 58 ), I became “greedy” instantly. I wanted to try everything there! Yes, I was very hungry, but also the dishes listed looked so good that only reading their names, I…

Hummus on the beach in Tel Aviv

I love good hummus and who could have thought that I would have it on a beach? The place is called “Honey Beach” and it’s relaxed environment reminds me of the beach restaurants in St Tropez. P.S. Still haven’t forgotten to post about Milan, but the sun is making me…
