alt="Noodies New York"

Noodies – Hell’s Kitchen, NYC

Noodies is yet another Thai food joint added in the mix of Hell’s Kitchen. The menu is simple with just enough variation from your standard Thai restaurant to make it interesting. The staff was very nice with us, a bit pressing but let’s face it, it was 10pm and people were still waiting outside for a [...]

CROM’EXQUIS | Paris 08

When your last name is Meneau and you want to open a restaurant in France, it’s a bit like being called Kennedy and  entering politics in the United States: a lot of pressure and huge expectations.

MESA COYOACAN | Williamsburg, Brooklyn

We were fed up of eating Mexican food on the go, eating only burritos out of food trucks can be somewhat depressing after a while. So we went to Mesa Coyoacan, after passing by this place for months, we finally made it. From the outside, you can’t miss this strange builing which looks if it has [...]

BRASSERIE THOUMIEUX | Paris 07

When he switched from the Crillon, a luxurious Parisian Palace, to Thoumieux, a traditonal brasserie, Jean-Francois Piege changed of style but the Chef also unveiled his creativity to the Parisian foodies without losing obvious skills. There’s no greater heritage than opening a restaurant on the premises of Bouillon Chartier, which used to be the most traditional [...]

WE LIKE | Lula Bean – Williamsburg, Brooklyn

Located in East Williamsburg, Lula Bean is this kind of coffee shop you can only find in Brooklyn. We really enjoy our cup of coffee here when we want to escape the usual Williamsburg hipster crowd.

ABANTAL | Sevilla

Sevilla. Tapas and Gazpachos were more than recommended since the temperature reached 140° Fahrenheit. But the Michelin guide advised us to go to Abantal, a creative mundane restaurant. At the time, we thought we had nailed a pseudo El Bulli in Sevilla, without the waitlist and the skyrocketing prices. It turned out a bit differently. The [...]

WE LIKE | La Petite Rose – Paris 08

Going to La Petite Rose is a bit like going to Japan except you don’t need to leave Paris as the cute pastry shop owned and founded by Miyuki Watanabe is located right next to the Parc Monceau. But don’t expect any typical pastries from Japan here: no red beans and no mochis, unlike fellow Japanese [...]
