Acme

If I had to pick only one restaurant from my trip to New York it would be Acme. Mads Refslund (the chef) is one of the original founders of Noma and his cooking is creative in a delicious way.

Hedone revisited

Hedone revisited

Hedone revisited

Images from my second time at Hedone which was even more memorable than the first time almost one year ago. Hedone is not only about quality ingredients, it is about treating those ingredients with greeting respect and creating simple yet powerful dishes. Definitely one of my favourite (if not favourite) restaurants in…

3 Michelin stars bouillabaisse

Bouillabaisse menu at Le Petit Nice Passédat in Marseille – rich, flavorful soup and perfect local fish caught the same morning. What a beautiful interpretation of this classic provençal dish!

Frantzén/Lindeberg

Frantzén/Lindeberg

Frantzén/ Lindeberg is about what many new wave gastronomy restaurants are not. Delicious, great-tasting food. The 2 Michelin stars place is run by two brilliant Swedish chefs Björn Frantzén and Daniel Lindeberg who are obsessed with perfect ingredients ( 95 % of which come from Sweden and neighbouring countries). Because…

It would be an understatement to call Frantzén/Lindeberg in Stockholm a great restaurant. It’s an extraordinary restaurant definitely worth a 2.5-hour flight from another part of Europe. Post with all the images coming very soon…

Miyako sushi – 3 Michelin quality minus Michelin stars

Miyako sushi – 3 Michelin quality minus Michelin stars

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…

Sushi Yoshitake (3*)

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…
