We have stopped our choice on either Old Sluis, Guy Savoy (Paris) or L'Osier (Tokyo). I wont bother you with GS and L'Osier but if you can advise for Old Sluis, we would highly appreciate: (1)What is the closest airport to Old Sluis? I do not drive. Only my wife drives, and frankly for a romantic travel I do not want her to bother with driving. I am planning to just take a plane and fly over to Amsterdam and from there, flying to a nearest local airport to Old Sluis. (2)We speak only French and English: do you think that this will be an issue? Many thanks, Trine. S Lloyd Trine,

In month of October I would prefer to be closer to the restaurant and Sluis centre. Laurent from Gastros on Tour http://gastrosontour.wordpress.com/2009/01/21/got-a-oud-sluis/ quite liked this hotel Dikke van Dale Sluis http://www.dikkevandalesluis.nl/english/index.html so I think I would try and book there.

Not many people has fine dining as their hobby. I know very few in Copenhagen. Most foodie friends have I found abroad. In Germany there is Ingo on <a href="http://highendfood.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow">High-End Food</a> - Ingo has been to most of the ones on your list and to Sergio Herman as well. There are also a couple of forums: Opinionated About Dining http://forums.opinionatedabout.com/index.php?showforum=87 Egullet http://forums.egullet.org/index.php?showforum=48 Please do send me the photo to verygoodfood @ gmail dot com -- I would be delighted to see it! :-D Olaf,

Their recipes are so genious. If you would like to go there in the future, give me a call. In El Bulli I was very lucky in 2007 to get a table. I will keep my fingers crossed for you!! It is not that easy to find people, who are that enthusiastic for high end food. I only knew one friend here in Germany. Do you know many people, who share this hobby?? BR Olaf Hello Trine,

I have just sent off my request for a reservation for 2009 and keep blogging with my fingers crossed the whole time ;-) Yes, noma is special. I just hope I don't give people too high expectations...

We had the pere et fils menu in Oud Sluis last Thursday (October 23th) and it was quite impressing. I really like the restaurant, very creative courses ( Sergio Hermann plays with products, textures, tastes in such a perfect way) that I put him in a row with Heston Blumenthal and Ferran Adria). I visited the Fat Duck and El Bulli in 2007 and really liked the restaurants. This year my nicest restaurant visits were Philippe Rochat and Sergio Hermann. If you want some tips for Germany, this is my list: 1) Essigbrätlein in Nürnberg (absolut genious cooking and for me one of the best restaurants in the world) ** I went there 20 times and it is the restaurant I liked most in Germany (I think it is the same as you like the Noma ;-)))) I like to go there, what you write about the Noma, sounds very good 2) Christian Bau *** and Dieter Müller (Nils Henkel)*** 3) Moisonnier ** 4) Amador *** 5) Sonora *** Please contact me for more details. Best regards from Munich Olaf and Dunja Hi Trine,

This is probably one of the best you've done, and the pictures are fantastic ! This give me now more regrets because i had to cancel the booking i made there for end of this month as i'll be at Alinea the same day :) - didn't pay attention when booking my US flights. My booking at Oud Sluis is now on January 11, far, too far, but i had no choice and maybe this could be a good start for the new year ! I've been recently to Ledoyen and Troisgros, very interesting, Ledoyen will probably be my meal of the year (except if Alinea or WD50... ), i'll post them soon. Cheers ! Laurent Geez, Trine, what a post…. speachless.

I really liked this paragraph: "Where Fat Duck was a show of what’s creatively possible, Oud Sluis is the aesthetic sense of beauty in perfectly balanced look and taste. Perfection, and even beyond perfection." While the fish in Japan has left indelible memories, Noma and Oud Suis are top priorities next year.

Everything looks amazing! And that last dessert sounds like one of those things that look so bizarre on paper, you just can't help but try it (especially because I love aloe).
