Le Gargouillou

Le Gargouillou

Le Gargouillou

In the image – “Le Gargouillou”, the most famous dish created by Michel Bras. I didn’t expect that such simplicity can be that mind-blowing. Each and every vegetable and herb had it’s distinctive flavour and texture. A beautiful voyage in the fields and the gardens of Aubrac… More to come…

Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester

From my experience, the higher you go up North, the less spectacular are Alain Ducasse 3 Michelin restaurants. I am joking of course, but so were probably the Michelin inspectors who awarded Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester 3 Michelin stars. I honestly doubt that the chef himself ever cooks in…

Saturne

Saturne

Saturne

It seems that the Saturne (17 Rue Notre-Dame des Victoires 75002 Paris,tel. +33142603190 ) chef focuses more on how beautiful his dishes look rather than how they taste. Raw mackerel, sea urchin and cauliflower starter sounded great but tasted bland and boring, same as the monkfish with leeks and mâche salad.…

Viajante

If there is one restaurant in London “worth a trip” from another city or even another country it is Viajante. The restaurant is located in East London, in Bethnal Green Town Hall which has been partly transformed into a hotel. The Edwardian and Neo- Classical building is grand and beautiful…

Epicure (Le Bristol)

Epicure (Le Bristol)

I’ve already posted about this restaurant a few times, so I won’t review it again, but for me, Epicure (formely Le Bristol) represents a 3 Michelin stars restaurant how it should be. Everything, from the palatial surroundings, delicious food to the impeccable and smart service was perfection.

Red Medicine

Vietnamese inspired Red Medicine in Los Angeles rose to yellow press fame when one of its owners Noah Ellis took a picture of The Los Angeles Times food critic S. Irene Virbila before telling her to leave the restaurant. Personally, I don’t think if it’s the best way to treat your…

3 Michelin stars pot-au-feu

3 Michelin stars pot-au-feu

3 Michelin stars pot-au-feu

This is the traditional French beef stew pot-au-feu, imagined by the very talented Eric Frechon (Le Bristol, Paris). It was the ultimate decadence of tastes and textures. The rich and luxurious dish was served in three services: bone marrow with celery purée, croutons and black truffle; oxtail, foie gras, truffles…

The grand disappointment by In-N-Out

I don’t have enough words to express my disappointment with the In-N-Out burger in Los Angeles. Everybody raves about how fantastic it is and how it’s” the best burger in LA”, but unfortunately even McDonalds burger tastes better as far as I remember. The meat was especially bad- tasteless, dry…

Hedonism at Hedone

If you happen to stumble upon this post, you probably like eating. Eating is one of the biggest pleasures in life for me too and since I went to my first gastronomic restaurant more than 12 years ago(2* Apicius in Paris), gastronomy has become a big part of my life.…

Dinner by H. Blumenthal revisited

When I blogged about Dinner one year ago, my post received quite mixed comments. Obviously, some people are big fans of Dinner and the fact that the restaurant is always full just confirms it’s an incredible success. Sometimes you can’t judge a restaurant having visited it just once, so I…
