I guess this is what defines a three Michelin stars restaurant(at least in France)- every single dish in Yannick Alleno’s “palace” restaurant was perfection. Dining in a top restaurant is being a little bit lazy. Usually, there is no place for errors, all you have to do is to sit…

As I expected the dinner in Le Pré Catelan was flawless like last time. The only problem was that the autumn menu didn’t differ that much from the spring menu. Also, the choices in the menu were quite small, so unless you want to eat the same dishes every time,…

Bistrot Paul Bert is already a legend – great food, Parisian spirit. And, even if there were some “food tourists”, I wouldn’t call it touristy… When looking at some people eating there you could feel that they were just enjoying their ordinary lunch in the bistrot next door…

Yesterday I had lunch in the most gastronomic street in Paris. Rue Paul Bert is the home of three famous and highly praised Parisian restaurants. The number 13 – Le Temps au Temps (01 43 79 63 40), number 15 – Unico and number 18 – Le Bistro Paul Bert.…

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…

I have a new favourite chef in Paris and his name is Frédéric Anton. It’s not that I didn’t know him- he used to be a frequent Joel Robuchon’s guest in Gourmet TV (I was a big fan!), which is unfortunately not airing anymore. Frédéric Anton definitely stood out from…

Berthillon ice cream is simply the best in Paris, and, maybe even in the world. Once you try it, you don’t want any other kind of ice cream. Trust me. The image of three Berthillon ice cream scoops- strawberry sorbet, caramel and coconut ice cream. There are multiple spots in…

Just back from the Pierre Herme shop in rue Bonaparte and I could not help but notice (and to buy of course) these seasons macarons novelties. Finally, the French dessert genius created a macaron inspired by his most popular dessert – Ispahan. As you can see in the image below,…

Alain Senderens- one more French chef that has transformed his three Michelin stars restaurant Lucas Carton to a cheaper and more relaxed place that carries his name. Of course, since its reopening Senderens has been on my wish list, but considering that it is always full and that I rarely…

I have been in Le Violon d’Ingres before its “price-cutting revolution” and I remember I was really enjoying my dinner. I don’t recall what I ate (it was few years ago), but at that time Le Violon d’Ingres was a very classic and bourgeois, “Rive Gauche” style place. Christian Constant, the…
