No, your eyes are not deceiving you, it is the best burger in NY I have ever eaten. Not that I don’t adore the decadent DB Burger with black truffles and foie gras, but the burger in Burger Joint in Le Parker Meridien hotel brings your taste senses to another…

Hachis parmentier is as a rustic dish. Mashed potatoes with minced beef baked in the oven (sometimes topped with cheese) make perfect comfort food for cold winter nights. But the hachis parmentier created by Jean Pierre Vigato from Apicius in Paris is not rustic at all. Jean Pierre Vigato redefines…

Since the fall of the Soviet Union, Moscow has become a paradise market for luxury goods producers. You just have to walk in the centre near the Red Square and Bolshoi Theater and you will see luxury shops on almost every corner. And it’s not only because the Russian (…

I don’t know how about you, the perfect risotto for me is when the rice grains are separate and slightly al dente, it contains very little cheese and cream… And if the risotto is generously sprinkled over with fresh black Périgord truffles its a paradise! You can taste this perfection…

This is the most gastronomic hamburger you can eat on this Earth. And I had it today, 12.30 pm Eastern Time. The DB Burger, the signature dish at DB Bistro Moderne (one of the restaurants of the renowned chef Daniel Boulud ) contains only the best ingredients. Ground sirloin with…

Christophe Adam of Fauchon continues his “club cake” tradition and this autumn he proposes the classical “forêt noir” cake in a not so classical form. I love this cake so much that last week, despite all the strikes, I went to Fauchon (place de la Madeleine) three times just for…

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,…

Thanks, Jupiter, to the Roman friends! Like this, we didn’t have to go to a place full of tourists and mediocre food. Instead, we had a lovely lunch in Rome’s Jewish quarter. A very lively trattoria called Giggetto al Portico D’Ottavia. Now, I must confess, I love trattoria Italian food…
