WD~50 – Works for Me

WD~50 stands for Wylie Dufresne in 50 Clinton Street, NYC. Wylie is the head chef and owner. He holds one Michelin star. I knew WD-50 was a bit of a gamble, the reviews are mixed and opinions are many. The style of WD-50 is experimental, using modern and to some extend molecular techniques. Comparing my… Continue reading WD~50 – Works for Me

Le Meurice ***

When I attended the Flemish food event in early February (sorry this post has been waiting for months) I connected through Paris and had a nice opportunity of lunching at Le Meurice on 9th February 2010. Appetizer 1 Appetizer 2 Pierre Gagnaire was my first 3-star experience in Paris and I felt I needed to… Continue reading Le Meurice ***

The CPH Crawl – Conclusion

To wrap up our restaurant crawl of Copenhagen here’s some thoughts I had during and after the evening of what worked well and not so well. First of all, if we had arranged with the restaurants what exactly to eat each place, then the whole menu would have been more balanced and better structured with… Continue reading The CPH Crawl – Conclusion

CPH Crawl 5/6: MR

NOTE: This restaurant has close down! The fifth restaurant for us to visit was MR. We arrived quite late, not sure what the time was at that point. All the guests had left and we were therefore the only party in the restaurant, which was great as it gave a private and more relaxed feeling… Continue reading CPH Crawl 5/6: MR

AOC – Makes Me Happy

I must tell you about my AOC visit. Last week a friend of mine and I were talking about AOC and the fact that none of us had visited the restaurant since it opened September last year.

CPH Crawl 4/6: noma

So, we arrived to the fourth restaurant visit this evening. Not that I was really hungry anymore, but I was still very excited and curious about what the second half of the crawl would bring us. The agreement with Lau, restaurant manager, was that we would be sitting in he lounge. This explains the quality… Continue reading CPH Crawl 4/6: noma

CPH Crawl 2/6: Herman

Second stop on our tour around the best restaurants in Copenhagen was Herman at the Tivoli Gardens run by head chef Thomas Herman. Steve Plotnicki was  already waiting for us when we got there. I very much like the dining room at Herman. It’s classy and stylish and the professional, yet human and warm atmosphere… Continue reading CPH Crawl 2/6: Herman
