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.

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…

The grand disappointment by In-N-Out

I don’t have enough words to express my disappointment with the In-N-Out burger in Los Angeles. Everybody raves about how fantastic it is and how it’s” the best burger in LA”, but unfortunately even McDonalds burger tastes better as far as I remember. The meat was especially bad- tasteless, dry…

Reflections on eating out in Moscow

Reflections on eating out in Moscow

1. You can eat very well in the Russian capital. There is a good choice of all world cuisines, starting from Uzbek and Armenian, finishing with fine French or rustic Italian. (Not to mention countless Japanese fusion restaurants like Nobu, Megu or, my favourite, Nedalny Vostok) 2. Going to Moscow…

Dinner by H. Blumenthal revisited

When I blogged about Dinner one year ago, my post received quite mixed comments. Obviously, some people are big fans of Dinner and the fact that the restaurant is always full just confirms it’s an incredible success. Sometimes you can’t judge a restaurant having visited it just once, so I…

Agapé Substance

Agapé Substance is like a breath of fresh air so needed in the Parisian gastronomic world. The neo bistrot on rue Mazarine ( in the 6th ) is tiny, has walls and ceilings made of mirrors and the chairs are not at all comfortable, but what you get on your…

The swimming pool on the roof of Fasano Rio de Janeiro, the view of Ipanema beach, hot fried cod balls and cold caipirinhas. Isn’t it a paradise? 😉

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…
