Maison Troisgros – The Genius of Troisgros

Maison Troisgros – The Genius of Troisgros

This French culinary temple is located in a remote city with little interest, so only true Michel Troisgros (3 stars Michelin of course!) cooking worshipers will find the restaurant. Michel Troisgros, the third generation of the legendary Troisgros chefs’ family, is a real artist who creates and invents the third-millennium…

Restaurant Le Mas des Herbes Blanches

The restaurant of the hotel Le Mas des Herbes Blanches was a great surprise as the cooking was very daring and delicious. The chef, who succeeds to marry such different products as oysters and cold beef is worth the second Michelin star! The images of the starters which were very…

Paul Bocuse

What can be better to celebrate Bastille’s day than a dinner in the Paul Bocuse restaurant? He is the father of French gastronomy, the legend that has been around for decades. What I really didn’t expect was to meet Mr Bocuse in person as upon the arrival, he went to…

Les Crayeres, Reims. One star less.

Les Crayeres, Reims. One star less.

Château les Crayeres is probably as famous as the place it is located – the Champagne region. For decades it’s chef Gerard Boyer maintained it’s class and, of course, the three Michelin stars quality. But what happens when the chef, the father of the legend retires? The restaurant loses its…

L’Ostéria, Paris

Its long time ago I wanted to try this Italian restaurant in Marais (10 rue de Sevigne) as many guides claim that its the best Italian food in Paris. And.. one more time I learned that the great marketing and PR (especially the celebrities word of mouth) can make miracles.…

Berthillon Ice Cream

The Berthillon Ice Cream is probably as mythical as La Duree macaroons. And you don’t need to go far to make sure of that – any nice day or late evening there will be always people queuing outside one of the Berthillon resellers on the Île Saint-Louis. (The list of…

L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon, Paris

I will repeat myself, but L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon (5 Rue de Montalembert ,75007) is my favourite restaurant in Paris. It is not only about the excellent food (tapas – small tasting plates) and chic ambience, but also the great people working there (like Mr Hernandez). L’Atelier doesn’t take reservations…

Mon Vieil Ami, Paris

Mon Vieil Ami ( 69 Rue St-Louis-en-L’lle, 75004) is the Parisian “spin-off” of the starred Alsace chef Antoine Westermann. We went there on last night as we wanted to change and try some new restaurant in Paris (we always go to the same restaurants finally!) and since long time ago…

Good addresses in Paris

There are two great places in Paris that ARE NOT closed on Sundays which is quite an exception :). They are both in St Germain, just steps from each other, and they are both world-famous. The first is Gérard Mulot (76 Rue de Seine, 75006), a boulangerie and “trateur” where…

Tetou during Cannes festival

After having an apéritif in Eden Roc, yesterday I had dinner in Tetou. (I did get a table the same day. But maybe it was luck as I guess during the Cannes festival even the loyal customers might not get a place! ). Actually, it was funny as there were…
