Per Se is by far the best restaurant I have ever been to the USA. It is worth every high rating it has – whether it is 3 Michelin stars or 28/30 in Zagat. The view of the Columbus Circle was stunning, the people working there knowledgeable and extremely professional,…

My trip to New York has been very exciting so far – I met wonderful people and ate/going to eat in some of my “dream” restaurants I’ve always wanted to go (I will post about them soon). One of the most mind blowing discovery is the toro tartare, osetra caviar,…

Speaking of something delicious, the “Morrocan tuna tartare, cucumber raita, chickpeas, harissa” I had for lunch in DB Bistro Moderne a few days ago was mouth-watering. A perfect combination of Morrocan and Indian flavours.

Those who’ve been reading my blog probably know that I come from Lithuania. I’ve been living in Paris and New York for almost ten years now, but I have always a big pleasure to come back to my home country and eat some of the Lithuanian specialities. Yes, they are…

Update 24/02/2009 As Le Figaro announced today, Marc Veyrat is giving back his 3 Michelin stars. My dinner in La Maison de Marc Veyrat last week was like a breath of fresh air – so different from what most of other 3 Michelin stars in France can offer. You just…
