Review - Restaurant Bartholomeus by Georgie

Restaurant Bartholomeus – Knokke-Heist – Belgium

September 4, 2016 – Belgium, Europe, Gault Millau 4 Toques, Mediterranean Glimpse, Michelin 2-stars, Review, Top Restaurants

Heist-aan-Zee, or Heist, is a town in Knokke-Heist, West Flanders, one of Belgium’s better-known and more affluent seaside resorts, equivalent to France’s Deauville, the perfect setting for Michelin Star Restaurant Bartholomeus. Restaurant Bartholomeus is creatively led by Head Chef and owner Bart Dismidt. Two Michelin stars, Gault Millau 18/20, 168 OAD Top 100+ European Restaurants 2017, Foodtaster 90/100 and great reviews from those who dine at this tranquil beach-front pearl make the trip to Restaurant Bartholomeus a very worthwhile and memorable one.

TEMPO-BY-MARTIN-BERASATEGUI-Cancun-Mexico

Tempo – Cancun – Mexico

April 23, 2016 – LA to Cancun, Mexico, Review, Top Restaurants

My love as usual, seventeen steps ahead, found that chef Martin Berasategui, a spanish chef of many hats and several restaurants has opened a restaurant Tempo right here in this resort. Now the most amazing thing is the price of things in Mexico. Despite having all you can eat and drink tickets to this resort, with a three michelin star restaurant offering alacarte options at around $22 a main and a tasting menu for around $45 or $70 with a […]

Providence – LA – USA

April 21, 2016 – L.A, LA to Cancun, Michelin 2-stars, Review, Top Restaurants, USA

Providence is LA’s two Michelin star restaurant that has been a success for the last decade. Chef Michael Cimarusti focussing principally on his passion for seafood. I’m really looking forward to this. We decided it was close enough to walk and wanted to see a bit of LA so we headed off with what we thought was loads of time. We wandered down sunset boulevard, past the house of Blues, a rusty old building that had been a classic […]

Le Grand Restaurant - Jean-Francois Piège | Georgie

Le Grand Restaurant – Paris

January 12, 2016 – Europe, Gault Millau 4 Toques, Michelin 2-stars, Paris, Top Restaurants

We began this trip to Paris with our first dining experience in St Honore and today we find ourselves back for our final luncheon at Le Grand Restaurant – Jean-Francois Piège. The Michelin Star chef has transformed what was a pizzeria, tucked away in nondescript little side street off Rue Du Faubourg, into a most spectacular and stylish venue. We find ourselves crossing the Champs Elysees near the Arc de Triomphe to the 8th Arrondissement and explore a […]

Restaurant A.T – One of the most creative tables in Paris

January 7, 2016 – Europe, Gault Millau 3 Toques, Paris, Top Restaurants

Restaurant A.T is our destination today. We walked past it after Alliance yesterday, the window causing us to stop and peer in, modern and fresh, a departure from the classic Parisian. The space here is simple and contemporary, a soft white space, splashed with small details of colour and texture. Wall art of timber strips splashed with streaks of pastel colours and a modern mural on one wall; black textured sweeps of paint that flash across the wall and ceiling. […]

Restaurant Alliance – Paris

January 6, 2016 – Europe, Gault Millau 3 Toques, Michelin 1-star, Paris, Review, Top Restaurants

Our wonderful waiter at David Toutain recommends that we must try Restaurant Alliance , a new place across the other side of town that good friends are just getting going. So of course that’s where we are off to today. After a lovely walk along the Seine we head into the 5th to find it. It’s clear from the smell of fresh carpet and a super pristine interior that it is indeed very new. The fit out at Alliance is gorgeous, […]

Restaurant David Toutain – Paris

January 5, 2016 – Europe, Gault Millau 4 Toques, Michelin 1-star, Paris, Review, Top Restaurants

Well today was supposed to be a simple little bistro day, we had planned for a later lunch and were indulging in a slow morning enjoying our gorgeous apartment and watching the soft morning light change over Paris. But then everything changed, the phone rang, Restaurant David Toutain where the wait for a table is known to be very long, miraculously has a place for us if we can arrive by twelve……in half an hour! Five minutes later we were […]

L’Atelier de Joël Robuchon Etoile – Paris

January 1, 2016 – Europe, Gault Millau 3 Toques, Michelin 1-star, Paris, Review, Top Restaurants

A change in style today, forget the historical Paris of days gone by, we are dining in the Paris of today. Everything about L’Atelier de Joel Robuchon Etoile is very modern, for a start it is located inside a drugstore. The Publicis Drugstore is on the Champs Élysées, at the Arc de Triomphe end. This is no pharmaceutical store, my eyes are wide with wonder as my love leads me into a fascinating eclectic mix of bookstore, gift shop, […]

Restaurant in the Eiffel Tower, Paris, France

Le Jules Verne – Tour Eiffel – Paris

December 31, 2015 – Europe, Gault Millau 3 Toques, Michelin 1-star, Paris, Review, Top Restaurants

I’m a little frightened of heights, not heights so much as falling. I’m ok looking out as long as I don’t look down. Jules Verne is 123 m up on the second floor of the Eiffel Tower so before I can start to get excited about the food I have to get past the trip up in the lift…the lift with the view! Strategically placed in the middle of the lift so I can peek at the skyline over my […]

Le Grand Vefour – Paris

December 29, 2015 – Europe, Gault Millau 4 Toques, Michelin 2-stars, Paris, Review, Top Restaurants

Today is a very special day. Beyond our wildest hopes we managed to secure a reservation at the grand Le Grand Vefour, Paris’ finest gastronomic meeting place for more than 200 years. Paris’ political, artistic and literary legends including Napoleon and Josephine, have been dining here since 1784. Today chef Guy (pronounced Gee) Martin, inspired by art and artists creates a spectacular 3 Michelin star menu. We walk through the inner courtyard of the Palais Royale, past exquisite boutiques […]
