A nice, but not entirely convincing lunch experience at No. 28 of The World’s 50 Best Asia: Restaurant Mingles (15. December 2023)

Mingles is listed on The World’s 50 Best Asia restaurants, so I figured to try this as well. The “Signature Lunch” (280’000 KRW) comes in a bit cheaper than at the Mosu, but I suppose this is due to the fact that the Mingles has ‘just’ two stars instead of three. The lunch started with […]

A delicious experience at No. 15 of The World’s 50 Best Asia 2023: Restaurant Mosu (14. December 2023)

A delicious experience at No. 15 of The World’s 50 Best Asia 2023: Restaurant Mosu (14. December 2023)

Given the Mosu is on the 50 Best of the World Asia list, I had to give it a try. Frankly, the prices are definitely on the more expensive side of things with the “Tasting Menu” accounting for 370’000 KRW and the full “Wine Pairing” for 250’000 KRW. Hence, I was a bit skeptical if […]

An outstanding lunch experience at No. 75 of The World’s 50 Best: Restaurant Fyn (2. December 2023)

An outstanding lunch experience at No. 75 of The World’s 50 Best: Restaurant Fyn (2. December 2023)

Fyn is the second South African restaurant on The World’s 50 Best and currently ranked No. 75. Personally, I must be honest, I found the experience at the La Colombe better than the Fyn, but the Fyn is definitely also up there in terms of overall quality and experience. Funny enough, somehow I ended up […]

An absolutely mind-blowing experience in No. 94 of The World’s 50 Best: Restaurant La Colombe Constantia (30. November 2023)

An absolutely mind-blowing experience in No. 94 of The World’s 50 Best: Restaurant La Colombe Constantia (30. November 2023)

The La Colombe is one of the two restaurants in South Africa, which is among top 100 of The World’s 50 Best, currently rated at No. 94. The drive through Constantia is already quite nice and once you find the entry off the main road to the La Colombe, you realise why this place is […]

A truly amazing culinary journey through the Indian cuisine at The World’s 50 Best No. 11: Restaurant Trèsind Studio (4. May 2023)

A truly amazing culinary journey through the Indian cuisine at The World’s 50 Best No. 11: Restaurant Trèsind Studio (4. May 2023)

When I visited the Trèsind Studio back in May 2023, the restaurant was No. 2 on The World’s 50 Best MENA list – and since this visit, it has further increased its ranking, now being No. 11 of The World’s 50 Best – and I must say, it’s a well-deserved promotion. It’s a bit uncommon […]

Definitely a place worth returning to, and a place deserving to be in The World’s 50 Best MENA: Restaurant Jun’s (28. April 2023)

Definitely a place worth returning to, and a place deserving to be in The World’s 50 Best MENA: Restaurant Jun’s (28. April 2023)

It’s about one month ago since I’ve last been to the Jun’s, and I was actually looking forward to trying it again, as the last time it was rather stressful to be there (as I had to rush for the airport). This time, I went for the “rainbow heirloom carrots (smoked labneh, soy honey butter, […]

A well-deserved place on The World’s 50 Best Mena (No. 44): Restaurant Jun’s (26. March 2023)

A well-deserved place on The World’s 50 Best Mena (No. 44): Restaurant Jun’s (26. March 2023)

I have tried visiting the Jun’s a few times already since it was nominated No. 44 of The World’s 50 Best MENA, but somehow something got in between. So, before flying out at 8.30pm, I decided to visit it at 6pm. Hence, I had, obviously, not too much time to eat, but they made sure […]

Amazing dishes, but non-satisfactory service performance: Restaurant 11 Woodfire (18. March 2023)

Amazing dishes, but non-satisfactory service performance: Restaurant 11 Woodfire (18. March 2023)

Since there are not too many restaurants of The World’s 50 Best MENA in Dubai, my ambition is to try basically all of them. Tonight, it was time for No. 35. Again, I had asked to have the starters timed, so I wouldn’t end up with all the dishes at the same time. Guess what. […]
