The World’s 50 Best Restaurants
When you just feel like doing a little ‘food dance’ @ No. 18 of the World: Ristorante Piazza Duomo (30. October 2021)
It’s approximately one year ago since I’ve been to the Piazza Duomo (back then, No. 29 of the world) and I was very much look forward to another amazing dining experience at the Piazza Duomo, now that it was No. 18 of the world. You have to pick the menu you’re having well in advance […]
Delicious dining experience at No. 40 of The World’s 50 Best: Restaurant Tim Raue (2. July 2021)
What is great about Corona is that things are relatively flexible when it comes to booking since nobody seems to plan a long time ahead. So, getting a table at Tim Raue with only ~6 weeks heads-up turned out to be actually quite easy – since in the past I have tried to get a […]
Worth the travel – No. 29 in the world: Ristorante Piazza Duomo (24. October 2020)
Talking about being lucky. Just the last Saturday before Italy went into lock down of restaurants at 6pm again, I was able to spend an evening at Ristorante Piazza Duomo in Alba, No. 29 of the world according to The World’s 50 Best. And I must say that it is a truly unique experience – […]
A visit to No. 17 of The World’s 50 Best: Restaurant Steirereck (29. August 2020)
Coming back to the Restaurant Steirereck is always an emotional moment. I remember when I was there for the first time in December 2012 when it was No. 11 of the world and it was definitely a memorable experience. And it was great again in June 2018 when it was No. 14 of the world. […]
Lovely dinner at No. 33 of the World’s 50 Best: Restaurant Lyle’s (31. January 2020)
The Restaurant Lyle’s is No. 33 on the List of the World’s 50 Best – and while I get that it’s a good place, I’m not sure I’d sign the No. 33. First of all, given my flight was slightly delayed, I tried to reach the restaurant over the phone which turned out to be […]
A truly overwhelming experience at No. 7 of the world: Restaurant Mugaritz (16. November 2019)
I was looking very much forward to dining at No. 7 of the world according to the Acquapanna / San Pellegrino List of the 50 best restaurants of the world and I must say, I was not disappointed. I was overwhelmed. We went for the “tasting menu” (EUR 200.00) – not that we really had […]
A couple of oral explosions but too heavy on the seafood side: Restaurant Martín Berasategui (15. November 2019)
I was looking forward to this weekend for quite a while – when do you have the chance to try 8 Michelin stars in less than 72 hours? When you go to San Sebastián, this is possible. The weekend started with 3 Michelin stars at Martín Berasategui where we went for the “tasting menu” (EUR […]
Asian restaurant standards aren’t the same – dining at No. 17 of Asia: Restaurant Indian Accent (2. November 2019)
I was looking forward at dining at number 17 of the world and ended up wondering how the “Indian Accent” is better than “The Clove Club” (which is no. 27 and I had just had lunch at two days earlier in London) until I figured that the “Indian Accent” was number 17 of Asia and […]
