Paris
As usual, when I travel I do my homework in advance and prepare a list of restaurants I wish to try and hopefully share on my blog. Le Cornichon was the first I tried during my last trip to Paris. It was a great kick-off to my sojourn!
Only chef Hideki Nishi and his refined cuisine could come up with this poetic name for a restaurant: Neige d’été or “Summer Snow”. With a minimalist decor in shades of white and grey, the neutral decor allows you to focus on what is the most important: the food.
The first time I saw chef Thibault Sombardier, it was on television and I fell in love, not with him – he’s too young, but with his work and his passion for what he is doing. He didn’t win the finals at Top Chef 2014 but nevertheless, he left as a winner!
A traditional bistro in the heart of Paris! Yes maybe… but in reality, it’s much more than that. With its joyful manager along with exquisite cuisine, this is what makes Le Bon Saint Pourçain a successful restaurant!
The first time I had a taste of Yoshiaki-san’s cuisine was on Rue de Longchamp in the 16th arrondissement at one Michelin-starred restaurant called Hiramatsu.

Just a little recap for my gourmet followers, some of my favorite restaurants around the world!
One of my last discoveries during my latest trip to Paris was Aux Plumes – a neighborhood little (literally little) restaurant in the 14th arrondissement, where you can taste the touch of the Japanese chef and sous-chef.
Woah! A three Michelin-starred restaurant is going vegetarian? This decision in 2001 by Alain Passard, owner of Arpège, sure must have raised some eyebrows – no more meat! Chef Alain Passard is not afraid to risk his stars to impose his views: he wants only seasonal organically grown vegetables to be the center of his menu – no more leeks in summer, no more tomatoes in winter!
