I have never felt so light after 11-course dinner. Organic gastronomy. This is how I would describe the cooking of Danniel Patterson at Coi restaurant in San Francisco. I really begin to like the New American cuisine – unconditional freshness and quality, respect to the ingredients and intelligence… In archaic…

I guess that all the most genius French “chef pâtissiers” pass through the legendary Fauchon house before receiving their worldwide glory. Once there was Pierre Herme, now -its the turn of Christophe Adam. And even if he has been working in Fauchon only for few years, this young pastry chef…

What a nice place to dine on a hot summer night. L’Oustau de Baumanière has two Michelin stars and an exceptional location – the medieval Le Baux de Provence village is named as “one the most beautiful villages in the world”. And those contrasting Provençal landscapes that can take your…

Today’s breakfast at Oustau de Beaumanière… Very simple, yet extraordinary…

Restaurant de Bacon located in the old Antibes is another Tetou style fish restaurant that should be “a must” if one happens to be in that area. Like Tetou, Restaurant de Bacon is all about the long history of seafood preparation and remarkable quality products. In fact, it’s all about…

More I eat in Tetou, more I am convinced that they serve the best bouillabaisse in the world. No other bouillabaisse restaurants on Cote D’Azur can compare to the bouillabaisse in this legendary restaurant on the beach of Golfe Juan. (owned by the same family since 1920s) Why you might…
