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. Marc Meneau, a super-chef of Burgundy, helped his young son Pierre opening a promising restaurant named Crom’Exquis, where we had [...]
CHANGA | Beyoglu, Istanbul
If you need to remember only one restaurant in Istanbul, it must be Changa. The restaurant is nested in the heart of Beyoglu, a charming neighborhood of Istanbul located off the beaten tracks. The staff was warm and helpful, don’t take it for granted in Istanbul as we’ve had a few bad experiences. Bread and mysterious appetizer. [...]
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. The space is small but the baristas are not those depressive ones you meet in Starbucks and they make [...]
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 [...]

After spending a few years behind the scene, supplying coffee shops and restaurants with savory-sweet goodies, they’ve now enjoyed some well-deserved success since they opened their own location and had a few successful partnerships with [...]
