Already it has been almost 1 year ago, since I last visited this “must-visit” restaurant when in Paris. While I do love all new fusion style restaurants and can even appreciate the molecular side of all famous restaurants, you also need to have understanding and appreciation of any classic French restaurant! And what better place…
Bar Canete Barcelona
One of the hottest places in Barcelona! There is a waiting list, or you can simply wait outside in a cue of locals mixed with tourists. It is worth the wait for sure… Just try to avoid the busy times and the typical tourist eating hours 😉 It is a big place, and we were…
Nusr-et Dubai (not a fan)
2023, a new year, another new beginning…. Good intentions, so….. guess who’s back, back again… Kevin’s back, tell a friend…. guess who’s back, guess who’s back, guess who’s back…. you get the idea 😉 Last year I was in the fake country or area of Dubai… As you know me, not a big fan at…
12/10 Izakaya, Manila Philippines
Reminiscing on my travels of the past year(s), thinking on all the fun places I have visited. Understanding I am one of the lucky ones in this world. Looking outside now, at the grey weather and the +1 year celebration of lock downs and closed restaurants… Boy am I counting down the days! Also, the…
La Cabana 10/10(so far the best in the world for me !!!) Murcia, Spain.
Simply the best restaurant in the world for me.
Le Grottelle, Capri, Italy
Hey Hey, guess who’s back…??!! After almost 6 months of Corona pause, some time for reflection and rethinking where to go with my blog, I came to the conclusion I could not miss you guys 😉 I have had many requests about why I was this quiet, still having hundreds of restaurants I visited before…
Liburnia, Pristina Kosovo
Any of you ever been to Kosovo?! Why not? Because I think it is beautiful, as most countries are in that area. Much more modern than you can imagine, way better developed than some Western European countries. And with very nice traditional food, still at honest pricing. You can eat and drink like a king…
Jakarta food tour by restaurant Sulawesi-Bali-Sumatra
For me Indonesia is one of the best food countries in the world, so much diversity, spices, heritage and authentic foods. Each island and province with their own background and food culture. The last 3 days I was there my customer took me to taste the difference between traditional Sulawesi (Manado), Balinese and Sumatran food….
Funicular, Tbilisi, Georgia (winner of the best view award 2019)
Yep, Georgia, not the US state but the beautiful country. Everybody knows for many years I just love this country, a hidden gem still for many people. Friendly people, nice land, great weather and than there is the food… and the wine…. and the Chacha…. Just a quick article as the restaurant was not that…
Kuala Lumpur street food tour by bicycle (amazing!)
I love a good street food tour and this one was extra special taking a vintage bike around the city. Thank you “Elena” for this amazing tour, you can book it by: http://www.bikewithelena.com/?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIqeOuxtnp5QIVS8jeCh2h_wQFEAAYASAAEgKTZfD_BwE I got the private tour and after all delays at the airport they even waited 2 extra hours just for me, what…
Guo Ji Kao Ya Dian (Peking duck restaurant) in Beijing, where else?
Woohoo, 20 hours in fucking Beijing (Peking) to eat one of my bucket list dishes: Peking duck..!! In an official restaurant, one of the best they say, filled with Chinese people and no tourists. As you know I hate other people and I hate tourists even more. So a match made in heaven 🙂 After…
Dinner ** (by Heston) London city
Where to start? So many new experiences, even new countries, new food tours and new Michelin stars. Did so much again last months that I forget to let you guys know about all of this, so coming months dedicated again in writing about these experiences. This time, a belayed birthday present, a restaurant and more…
Food Fest 2019 Cadzand Netherlands
Summer holidays are over! Time to start posting my delicious blogs again, and boy did I have fun during this summer. The best food fests, food tours, Michelin starred restaurants and much more. So first this great food fest at the Dutch coast 2 miles form the Belgian border, hosted by 3*** chef Sergio Herman….
Evaristo Albufeira Portugal
By far the best food/view combination in years! Maybe even in 40 years… 😉 https://evaristo.pt/index.php/en/home-en/ For me, this was more or less a “barn find”. As most of my food trips are well prepared or specifically chosen…. This one was recommended by the staff during one of our boat trips. I normally never listen to…
El balcon del Mundo, Topola Bulgaria
Fooled you! With that name you’d expect some Spanish or South-American location…. but it is in Topola, 45km north of Varna, Bulgaria! https://kaliakria.com/restaurants/ The name is correct, as the views are astonishing. The food is good as well, especially for this region. It is part of the Kaliakria resort but open to all visitors. It…
Amaru Melbourne * 9.7 out of 10
THE BEST OF 2018…!!! If you have the time, the love for good food and the money…. go there! What an amazing restaurant, such amazing wine pairing and simply the best for me of 2018… Amaru, of chef Clinton Mc.Iver, who was sous chef at “Vue du Monde” for many years, made this the place…
‘t Zilte Antwerp City ** 8,8 out of 10
It has been some months since my last visit, but still one to remember… for the good, but also for the bad unfortunately. Some happy moments, great company and nice looking dishes! But absolutely no WOW effect and even overpriced at some levels. And please do understand me, this is one of Antwerps, or even…
Skybar, Bratislava 8.8 out of 10
Great news for all of you! The first 10 people to read and share this full post, will be invited by me to join me on my next Michelin starred visit. All paid by me, trip and food !!! But please read this article to the end and give me your feedback. So I was…
Seafood Bar Amsterdam 3.5/5
Sometimes in life you just go somewhere without expectations. To enjoy just a simple meal…. of seafood 🙂 Was in Amsterdam for a last-minute trip…. and since I am still behind in the number of posts I have done so far this year…. (but who is counting?) I just give you all a quick blogpost…
Buddakan New York 3/5
Just a quick and short one, however, it is just as remarkable as most of my visits. Post nr.4 of 2019 for who ever is keeping track… 😉 So the famous and very hot and trendy, cool, kick-ass unique and special location in New York: One of the locations of Stephen Starr’ franchise, I believe…
Mumbai (Bombay) Food tour (shocking photo’s ahead)
Review nr.3/2019, I am getting closer to 52…. only 48 to go after this one! So this young (19yr) motherfucker called Raj, was so nice to show me all the treats the streets of Mumbai have to offer. If only he would have told me from the start his religion was “Jain” so that means…
Bangkok 2 day food tour, a “must read” (pt.2 – Bizarre foods)
This is the “shit” part of my 2 day food tour….. Yesterday was fun, today was tough, very tough! A lot of rotten things, blood, intestines and much much more! Also thank you to some readers, as I now need to write 51 more reviews this year, not to lose €5500,- or even more…. me…
Chez René Paris France $$$
Happy new year dear friends and followers! This is a test on who actually reads my blogs….; My plan is to write 1 review weekly, so 52 minimum this year (!). Leave your name and details in the comments or with a PM. For every post less than 52, I will pay each and every…
Bangkok 2 day food tour, a “must read” (pt.1)
As I had just a 24 hour stop-over on my way to New-Zealand, I had to make a food tour, or maybe 2…. Limited time, so 1 at night and 1 early morning as a breakfast…. Big mistake as I should have switched the 2…. eating pigs blood at 8 am is not always best…
The View, Minsk, Belarus $$$
Wow, second post in 2 days? I’m on a roll 🙂 and this one you want to read about for sure! Have a look now: This time, is what could be, the best restaurant in Minsk, or maybe even the whole country?! I hate to admit, but since there is not much local info available,…
Michelino Fish, Ostia, Italy $$$
Hello all of you dear readers! After an amazing summer holiday in Bulgaria, it is time to show you my latest adventures. The Bulgarian ones will follow as well within a few weeks, maybe even days. Today a post of one of our many Italian findings of last year. As we were in Rome for…
No Durians allowed…. 9+ out of 10
Singapore food tour, including the cheapest 1(*) Michelin restaurant of the world, definitely one of my favourite countries in Asia! The Switzerland of Asia in my opinion, so clean and sterile, i love it for a few days! And the perfect melting pot of the Chinese, Malay and Indian people make it something special. As…
Le Cor de Chasse, Durbuy, Belgium (*) 9.7 out of 10
Best in Belgium in 2017 for me! By far the best food I had in Belgium all year, and I had a lot 😉 Too bad they missed a few points on other aspects of the restaurant game…. they could have had a perfect 10 if it was just the food. For all my Belgian…
Yerevan restaurant Moscow $$$
And yet another lovely day, going for dinner with one of my lovely new customers. But what did they do…??!! They scared me from the start, because they drove to a Shopping mall… can you believe that? Eating dinner in a shopping mall, that can only be fast-food, or some other shitty cheap food 😦…
1st Dutch Lobster 2018 + menu Zierikzee, the Netherlands
Thank you dear readers all over the world for making this happen!
