The World’s 50 Best Restaurants
A true Michelin star experience with amazing service: Restaurant Les Amis (2. January 2019)
You might wonder why I decided to have dinner at a French restaurant when in Singapore – the answer is simple, there was only one Two Michelin Starred restaurant left in Singapore which wasn’t fully booked yet. And that was ‘Les Amis’. Once you’re seated, you are served some fluffy bread and butter. What I […]
Lunch at the No. 1 of the world – worth the travel: Osteria Francescana (21. December 2018)
I always wanted to eat at the best restaurant in the world and finally today was the day! The Osteria Francescana has been elected No. 1 restaurant in the world for the second time after 2016. And it is accordingly difficult to score a reservation although not as impossible as for other restaurants like the […]
Great experience in the outskirts of Mexico City: Restaurant Sud 777 (25. August 2018)
The Restaurant Sud 777 was on my list for quite a while and last time when I’ve been to Mexico I had a booking but somehow didn’t manage to pay it a visit. This time, it worked. It is, admittedly, located in a quite remote part of Mexico City and a good 45 minutes car […]
Good but not on my list of the 50 Best restaurants: Restaurant Nicos (21. August 2018)
The Restaurant Nicos is No. 29 of the 50 Best Restaurants in Latin America – given I’ve tried a couple, my expectations were quite high. Frankly speaking, they haven’t really been fulfilled though. The “bread wagon” where you get to pick which breads you want, is nice. However, the waitress did not manage to serve […]
Another visit to No. 14 of the world: Restaurant Steirereck (22. June 2018)
I visited the Steirereck back in 2012 and haven’t been back since (read 2012 review here). But somehow, I decided it was time to give it another shot. Coincidentally, it was also just three days before that the Steirereck has been ranked #14 of the world’s 50 best restaurants. What I was a bit surprised […]
Lunch at No. 16 of the world: Restaurant D.O.M. (16. March 2018)
When I booked a table, I was somehow not aware that the D.O.M. is number 16 of the world. Luckily, I managed to get a table for lunch and went to for “Tasting Menu Optimus – A travel through the Brazilian flavour” (485 BRL). It started with a “cachaça and lime bonbon”. Which was quite […]
No. 41 of the 50 Best Restaurants of Latin America – really??? – Restaurant Tegui (26. October 2017)
I was really looking forward to pay the Restaurant Tegui a visit – currently ranked No. 41 on the list of the 50 Best Restaurants of Latin America. Unlike in the Don Julio, the No. 21 on the same list, the reservation process wasn’t an issue at all. I even had to move the reservation […]
The most refined food experience in Argentina: Restaurant 1884 by Francis Mallmann (20. October 2017)
I had booked the Restaurant 1884 a couple of months before actually going here – and it has turned out as a great idea to pay a visit to 1884 by Francis Mallmann. And that for various reasons – not only because the food is the most refined I’ve tried in Argentina so far but […]
