I’ll go straight to my point… I am not a big fan of vegetables. I know… When you do modelling and you are so skinny, everybody thinks that all that you do is stay on diet all your life and eat salad leaves… But not me… I have never been…

The “treats” from the sea as seen in Chesery (Lauenenstrasse) restaurant in Gstaad. The cooking of Robert Speth is welcoming and sincere, with emphasis on seafood and dishes with truffles. Robert Speth was “The Gault Millau Switzerland Chef of the Year” in 2005 as well as he has one Michelin…

The dinner at one-star Auberge du Raisin was a very pleasant surprise. In fact, it was the second choice of dining while staying in Lausanne, but the first choice – the three stars restaurant of Philippe Rochat is closed on Mondays… The dinner in Auberge du Raisin though was much…

The name of Jacques Le Divellec, the owner of one-star Le Divellec, is a synonym for superb and high-quality seafood. Besides of extremely fresh oysters, Le Divellec is one of those few Parisian fish restaurants which bake turbot filets how they have to be – thick and juicy. This time…
