Lunch at Mirazur few months ago. One of the most interesting restaurants in South of France nowadays.

Lunch omakase at Sushi Kanesaka in Tokyo. It costs 5000 Yen (around 50€) and is one of the best deals for lunch at a top sushi shop.

Calling a restaurant “the best in the world” or awarding it with one, two or three stars is a very Western notion. If you ask any well-travelled foodie ( including me ) what is the best sushi shop in Tokyo, she would mention Sushi Saito, Sukiyabashi Jiro or other sushiyas…

If you don’t read at least a little bit of hiragana, you might look for the Suzuryu building for a long time. Like many high-end restaurants in Tokyo’s Ginza, Sushi Yoshitake (3F, Suzuryu Building, 8-7-19 Ginza Chuo-ku Tokyo, tel. 03-6253-7331) is located in an ordinary office building, on an ordinary…

For somebody who tends to daydream, Copenhagen can be a dangerous place. I was almost hit by a woman riding a bicycle while walking with my dear Danish friend from the train station to Soelleroed Kro.* But how can you not daydream in Holte, acharming little town located in the…

Two green olives hanging from a branch of a well-manicured olive tree… Beautiful, poetic and unexpected as the naturally bitter olives are covered in a thin layer of sweet crunchy caramel and filled with salted anchovies. When I travel alone I usually dine quite early, but as we all know…

Many of the Michel Bras restaurant reviews start how it’s complicated to get there. Aubrac region is one of the most difficult to access regions in France. Once you get to Rodez, by train (a journey by train from Paris can take up to ten hours) or by plane, you…

From my experience, the higher you go up North, the less spectacular are Alain Ducasse 3 Michelin restaurants. I am joking of course, but so were probably the Michelin inspectors who awarded Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester 3 Michelin stars. I honestly doubt that the chef himself ever cooks in…

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…
