When Albert Adrià closed his legendary El Bulli ( where I had a chance to dine in 2010 ) everyone was guessing what he and his brother Ferran were going to do next. Their answer – a tapas bar called Tickets (Avinguda Parallel, 164 08015 Barcelona, Spain; tel.+34 932 92 42…

Paella at La Rosa

La Rosa (Av de Neptuno 70, Valencia, Spain,tel. +34 963 712 076 ) is an old, traditional restaurant located on the seaside promenade of Valencia. At first glance, it might look like just another touristy place on a Spanish beach, but once you try their paellas you understand that La…

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.

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…

Melons for 18 900 Yen (around 180€) a piece, sensational seafood such as sashimi quality sea urchin, fatty tuna or live crabs, never-ending aisles filled with freshly prepared sushi, yakitori or traditional Japanese sweets… Osakans are known for their love for food and even have a saying, “kuidaore”, which literally…

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…
