Les Cocottes by Christian Constant, Paris - a favorite. I was hoping to try Violon d'Ingres the other week but it's closed for renovations.
Cantinetta Antinori in Zürich - another one of my favorites and currently the frontrunner for 2013. Terrific risotto with black truffles, venison medallions with green pepper sauce and spätzli paried with Tignanello and topped off with seriously decadent panna cotta.
Luini, Milan - not really a meal, but on the list simply because the panzerotti are delicious and a best snack.
Ciocolatti Italiani, Milan & Gallipoli - also not really a meal, on the list as best gelato this year. (However, not as good as Vivoli in Florence.)
Looking forward to Eleven Madison Park, NYC later this month.
Disappointments of the Year:
Morimoto, NYC
Nice to see Cantinetta Antinori on your list from a few years ago - have a reservation there for Sat, Dec 16th. Hope it is still just as good!
