From my experience, 2 Michelin stars in London often translate to one Michelin star in Paris. The Ledbury is an exception though. Brett Graham is an incredibly talented chef and has succeeded to maintain quality and consistency year after year. My last week’s meal below. The Ledbury 127 Ledbury Rd,…

What is beautiful about Israeli cuisine is that it is so diverse because of the different cultures brought by the Jewish diaspora. So at The Palomar in London, which revisits and reinvents Jerusalem cooking, you might have kubaneh, Yemeni pot baked bread to start, then continue with Morrocan style oysters…

For me, one of the most promising restaurants in London at the moment is Bonhams, located inside Bonhams auction house. “Promising”, because despite chef’s Tom Kemble international experience (he has worked at Hedone in London and Faviken in Sweden), I think he still has a big potential to grow.

Because of the big backlog of all the posts I have to make and little time, will keep the few upcoming posts short but useful I hope 😉 So this was my recent dim sum lunch at A Wong in London. Still very tasty, masterful modern Cantonese cooking and good…

The legend of “Tetou” or Ernest Cirio began when during the First World War he enlisted in the Navy and got wounded. There he became a private cook of the admiral and had an opportunity to open a restaurant in New York, but homesickness was stronger than the prospect of…

Cinco Jotas bodega has been raising Ibérico pigs and producing some of the world’s finest and most expensive cured hams for the last 130 years. On a recent trip to Spain, they gave me a tour of the pastures and introduced me to the very special pigs that give us…

I’ve been following Mikael Jonsson’s work ever since he opened Hedone and ,I must say, his cooking just gets better and better. Still my favourite “fine dining” restaurant in London. Pictures below from my recent meal there. ( Search on the right-hand corner for the, full, previous reviews.) Hedone 301-303…

Former entrepreneur and food blogger, Bruno Verjus is not a typical French chef. Without any formal training he now runs Table, a restaurant in the 12th arrondissement focusing on exceptional produce. Starting with this season’s last scallops and oysters from Bretagne, finishing with first green and white asparagus and morels,…

I’ve been lucky enough to have met many exceptional people thanks to my blog, and today’s post is about one of those experiences. While I was staying at Maria Cristina hotel in San Sebastian last year, I had the great pleasure of talking with Andreas and Dr Shokat Cohen, organizers…
