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 ( 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…

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…

It’s funny because the first time I ever ate in Austrian restaurant was in New York. I have already posted about the “Danube” restaurant in Tribeca (on April 28th). Now its the time of Wallse, a busy one-starred place in the West Village. I don’t know if we chose the…

Pastis is a French brasserie in the trendy Meat Packing district in New York. It is THE place to have brunch if you want “to see and to be seen”. There is ALWAYS many people on weekends, so it is impossible to get a reservation by phone. But what you…

JoJo( 1 star Michelin) is the first and the oldest restaurant of the famous chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten in NY. And, it is not typical for the sleek Upper Eastside. The boudoir style interior and the crystal chandeliers create particularly mysterious mood. I had dinner there last night and I have…

I knew Lupa (Italian-roman) restaurant quite long time ago (i discovered it just passing by), but only now I found out that it’s the restaurant of Mario Batali, “one of the most recognizable chefs in America”. Despite the celebrity chef, the restaurant is very homey and trattoria like. The menu…

Koi (40 W 40 str.) is another copycat of Nobu. I call it “copycat” as the only dish worth a try was the famous Matsuhisa’s “black cod”. Otherwise, the choice on the menu is very small and i didn’t see any original dishes. Even if they try to create the…

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…

The dinner in Tetou (one-star Michelin) for me means that the summer is back! I already included this restaurant in my favourites of South Of France last year and I still love it the same as before… Tetou is as famous for its bouillabaisse (which IS the best in the…
