In a time when love letters have been substituted by emails and quick text messages (effective though), without the romance and symbolism of the “old” letters, nowadays the post office is just for bills, publicity and certificates, fortunately there are still some love stories passing through the post! One of them is the story of a […]
During our last stay in London, and taking advantage of the time before a Musical, we went to Yauatcha (with a Michelin star), for a “light” meal of Dim Sum. The restaurant, opened in 2004, by Alan Yau, also responsible for the Hakkasan – the first British Chinese restaurant to get a Michelin star – sets its […]
The kitchen of Taberna do Mercado Taberna do Mercado is, probably, the “foreign” restaurant most spoken off, in Portugal, during the last year. Firstly, for being a restaurant of Portuguese cuisine in London, with the signature of Nuno Mendes and secondly, thanks to Giles Coren’s article, a food critic in decline, who decided to use Portugal, Nuno […]
Taking advantage of a transfer in Madrid, after a trip around Central Europe, we decided to explore (as usual) the gastronomical side of the city. Which included a reinforced breakfast at the San Miguel Market, where there was jamón, croquetas and pintxos, a digestive walk around town and a lunch at the restaurant El Club Allard. […]
In March of 2015 the Michelin Guide surprised everybody by giving a star to a restaurant open for little more than half a year, located outside the center of town and without the formality of the majority of the starred restaurants. Tanti is located in a residential neighborhood of Buda, outside the spotlight of tourism and […]
A partnership between the luxurious hotel Kempinski Corvinus and Roy Zsiday, an important restaurateur from Budapest, gave origin, in April 2013, to the És Bisztró. “És” meaning “and” in Hungarian, an expression that recreates quite well the desired concept implemented to the space, creating an environment that mixes the relaxation of a French Bistrô with an American Steakhouse, a Deli and […]
Another year, another edition of Vinum’s gastronomic “festival”, the restaurant of Graham’s Port Lodge, a partnership with the Basque group Sagardi that brings to its guests the Festival of Trás-os-Montes Ox. An event consisting on the celebration (forgive me the vegans and vegetarians, but I think celebration is the proper word) and the presentation of a […]
In 2013, in a little known area of Vienna’s 1st District, Alexander Konstantin Filippou and his wife decided to open a restaurant with its own identity that would reveal another side of fine dining nonexistent till then in the city. The name of the Austrian chef, son of Greek father and Austrian mother, served as name […]
As I said in some previous articles, the Czech cuisine doesn’t have a huge international fame. Whether for its traditional cooking techniques or the use of some heavier ingredients in the composition of its dishes. The combat against this paradigm has been the challenge of the new generations of Chefs and Restauranteurs in Prague. One […]
Just after arriving in Prague, after a long trip, with taxis, scales, Ubers and check-ins, we left the hotel (see) to get to know a bit of the historical center of town, while making time to our reservation at La Degustation – Bohême Bourgeoise. The restaurant, open since 2006, is part of the Ambiente group – […]
