Finally you can find a burger in Paris as good as in the US. A gourmet food truck called Le Camion Qui Fume has been driving around Paris since one month only, but has already created a serious buzz around the concept and the fantastic burgers you will find nowhere…

The food at The Ledbury was not only beautiful but also delicious. Contemporary French, British products, 2 Michelin stars, 29/30 in Zagat, probably one of the most sought after reservations in London. I will definitely return! The images of the menu (December 2011).

Soba – traditional Japanese buckwheat noodles that can be eaten cold or hot, alone or in a broth. The soba at Tajima (1*) was delicious, but sometimes I wonder if Michelin guide makes any sense in Japan. If to be fair, all the decent restaurants in France, serving fresh, cheap…

Eating the freshest fish possible is part of the fun when visiting the biggest fish and seafood market in the world. Daiwa Sushi (Tsukiji Market Part6 Bldg. 5-2-1 Tsukiji, Chuo-ku, Tokyo,tel. 03-3547-6807) hides in one of the busy alleys of Tsukiji and is definitely worth the over an hour wait- the…

If there is one sushi den in Manhattan that could be easily compared to top sushi restaurants in Tokyo, it would be Sushi Azabu. The location of the restaurant couldn’t be more unassuming and is typically Japanese. It is hidden in a basement of Greenwich Grill ( probably owned by…

I think that the appreciation of Japanese kaiseki art grows with experience. First time I had a kaiseki meal in Kyoto, I found it too unusual to enjoy. The flavours of most of the dishes were very mild, kind of “muted” and some of the ingredients were quite bizarre. Then…

No matter what people might have to say about Peter Luger Steakhouse, the best American steak I’ve had in my life was there. The place is not only historical, legendary and has a Michelin star. What really shines there is the food. The quality of the beef is extraordinary, tender,…

Shang Palace at Shangri-la is the newest hotel restaurant opening in Paris. (opened on the 8th of September). You don’t really have great Cantonese restaurants in the city and Shang Palace is by far the best of all the Chinese I’ve been in Paris. However, if you’ve had Cantonese specialities…
