Alot of my favorites have been mentioned. I do like Michael Mina alot, but still prefer Dankos. The Square in London is one of my favorites. I also agree with Daniel, Enoteca Pinchiorri and Tailievent . Also like to add Vincents in Riga, Latvia. There are way too many for me to list. I wont go on the ones I dont like, as this isnt the thread for it.

Fat Duck? Gordon Ramsay?
I was going to make sure I hit the Fat Duck and Gordon Ramsay when I went to Londo this summer. Anybody agree that these are great places in London? They certainly are famous.

Dunno yet about the Fat Duck, plan to try to get reservations for when I pass through London in March, will let you know!

Fat Duck - great front of house, good wine list, remarkable experience that was well worth the cash. Would I rush back - probably not as it was a bit too otherwordly for me.
Looking forward to trying Marcus Wearing next month. :) |

The Beach House, Kauai

Agree with Coi. Food that is both terrific and inventive.
Also Cyrus (Healdsburg about 75 minutes north of San Francisco in Sonoma County). For me, the food is as good as the French Laundry without so much hype or price. And I say that as someone who loves the French Laundry. |

Another side note to this one ...I was recently fascinated to learn that one of my son's fellow students at MIT (a chemistry major) was asked by El Bulli to develop beverages that would change colors. I thought it interesting that they are working with science folks to help develop their menu offerings, but then I suppose cooking is also a science.

Anybody know how much the price is for Marcus WAreing? I looked on the website, but there are no prices listed.
The reviewer said he paid 216 GBP per two. Based on the review, I would beware: http://www.ft.com/cms/s/2/b14e5692-0...nclick_check=1 |
Totoraku
Totoraku is Japanese Beef restaurant in Los Angeles. It is by invitation only, but if one is able to it is absolutely worth the trip. One of the top meals of my life.
Beef throat sashimi. Yum. |

Combal.Zero in Torino China Blue at Conrad in Tokyo Made in China in Beijing (way back in the day) Spice Market in Bangkok the main Chinese restaurant in the Grand Stanford in Hong Kong Xu in Ho Chi Minh On a less happy note Gordon Ramsay in Tokyo is perhaps the most disappointing meal I've had anywhere in world (although I don't think it ever got rated high enough that I should have been surprised.) The whatever it is in the Grand Hyatt in Shinjuku is a close second for that "award?" And that was long before Bill Murray supposedly got lost there. best adg |
