While I am sure that the setting is more beautiful during the day, darkness did nothing to diminish this fantastic experience. It certainly should be much higher on the World’s 50 Best list. And for anybody who loves a cart, the bread, cheese and tea carts are not to be missed.
Dinner at Onyx is a perfect 2 michelin star experience. Service was very welcoming and friendly despite the fairly formal space and all dishes quite good. The bread basket is perhaps the best one I’ve had and its truly a shame that I couldn’t put more of a dent in it. Definitely a do not miss when in Budapest.
water buffalo tartare, shallot, mushroom
goose liver, coffee, almond

I highly recommend this great spot in Budapest which is the sister restaurant to the original Costes.

Clown Bar
Clown Bar is easily one of my favorite places in Paris and lately has been my first stop for lunch after arriving.
mackerel tempura/piquillos
radicchio/beets/black olive
milk-fed veal tartare/paris mushroom
Chez la Vieille
Another of my absolute favorites. I would be quite happy eating here at least once a week. Always at the bar.
blanquette de veau
herring and potato salad
Somehow I unfortunately misplaced the menu. However Smyth gets better and better with each visit. A definite must do in Chicago.
