Black Cod with Miso

Black Cod with Miso

This is the dish I could eat every day. I have tried it in various Japanese fusion restaurants all around the world, but Nobu’s Matsuhisa version is the best. The fish is baked, so it is almost falling apart (you can easily eat with chopsticks) and it has sweet miso…

Cafe Gray

Update. Cafe Gray is closed. Yet another one overrated (1 Michelin star) and overpriced restaurant in NYC… While Cafe Gray ‘s cosy French Brasserie style interior is a nice surprise for the cold Time Warner building, the food was disappointing. It seems that the chef is trying to be original…

Le Bernardin – incredibly ordinary experience

The highly anticipated dinner in the so-called “the best restaurant in NY ” Le Bernardin (3 Michelin macarons) was a big disappointment.

The romance of Blue Hill

Even if there are so many highly rated restaurants in New York, there is not a lot that is really worth a return (in fact, the same as everywhere in the world 🙂 ) Very often there is a disappointment before even starting your first dish. Like this Northern Italian…
