This is one of Asia’s best restaurants 🇯🇵⭐️⭐️⭐️

Welcome to @sezannetokyo , where chef Daniel Calvert @chezcalvert has gone from rising star to culinary mindblower in just four years.

A @michelinguide star six months after opening. A second the year after. And in 2025, his third.
Add to that Asia’s Best Restaurant 2024 @theworlds50best
This is a rocketship powered by craft, discipline, and quiet obsession.

At Sézanne, Calvert blends global technique with 95% Japanese ingredients, filtered through a French lens, and brightened with the soul of Hong Kong.
It’s food that’s personal, stripped back, and stunning.

Take the kindmedai with white asparagus and twin sauces, or the ika vol-au-vent; a French puff pastry filled with Japanese squid and lifted by Spanish ajo blanco.
Each dish is a postcard from a different chapter of his life.

And then… the knockout
Japanese Peking-style duck with Hokkaido potatoes and a sauce meurette so rich and resonant, it’s the best duck I have ever had.

This isn’t just fine dining, it’s storytelling
And Daniel Calvert is writing his name into Asia’s culinary history.

This might be Munich’s best restaurant and of the best in Germany 🇩🇪⭐️⭐️

Welcome to @atelier_munich , where chef @anton.gschwendtner_official Anton Gschwendtner is quietly carving his way into the top tier of German fine dining, with sharp flavors, bold compositions, and total control.

Tucked inside Munich’s iconic @bayerischerhof_munich Atelier holds two Michelin stars, but feels like it’s cooking for a third.

This is fine dining rooted in French technique, elevated with Japanese nuance, and grounded in the best Bavarian produce. A culinary triad with zero dogma, only precision.

Take the white asparagus with char caviar and miso hollandaise. Or the pikeperch with paper-thin kohlrabi, crab beurre blanc, and herb oil. These are textbook 3-star dishes, executed with artistry and intent.

Even the signature sweetbreads with lentils and sherry sauce feel unshakably personal, paired with a crisp, expertly chosen rosé by the charismatic sommelier.

Desserts rarely match the savoury in dynamism, but here, they were equals.
From a cheese course and pre-dessert of yellow beet and passionfruit to a strawberry and lemon gratin finale, the meal ended on the same high it began. A lost art, rediscovered.

This might be Tokyo’s worst omakase and the most expensive one I’ve had anywhere 🫣😵‍💫🍣

Welcome to Sushi Sugaya, a $950 disaster dressed up in fine wood and premium fish.
In a city where great sushi is practically a given, this meal stood out for all the wrong reasons.

A clam so tough it could double as a dog toy. Ankimo paired with truffle cheese for reasons known only to the chef. And tea? Served in a plastic bottle.

Thirteen total servings. Five pieces of tuna, one nauseating clam, a lone uni, and a mega-roll no one asked for.

Sushi Sugaya doesn’t feel like omakase, it feels like expensive ingredient roulette.

This wasn’t just disappointing. It was careless.
Send this to someone so they never make the same mistake.

This might be one of Tokyo’s most unique omakases 🍣🇯🇵

Welcome to @ebisu_endo , located in a hidden alley, where Chef Norihito Endo redefines Edomae sushi with a fresh narrative, blending tradition, technique, and playful innovation.

Raised with sushi in his blood and trained under legends, Endo crafts a dynamic journey mixing otsumami and nigiri, surprising the palate with fried fugu, baby squid, and signature eel.

Every detail matters, from knives sourced in Kyoto, to centuries-old tableware, and sake handpicked from trusted producers.

This is more than sushi. It’s a conversation between heritage and creativity, served with humor and heart and is on my visits for Tokyo.

Welcome back to Chasing Stars, the series where I visit the world’s best restaurants.

Today we’re about 20km outside Munich at the stunning Starnberger See, dining at the one Michelin-starred @aubergine.starnberg by Chef @max__moser a place I would’ve never found if it weren’t for the @hiddentable.de app.

Led by Chef Maximilian Moser, Aubergine serves a seasonal menu that changes every 6–8 weeks and focuses on local ingredients.

This is one of Germany’s best and newest 3 Michelin starred restaurants 🇩🇪⭐️⭐️⭐️

Welcome to @essenz_edipsigl , where Chef @edip_sigl_official has taken Bavarian fine dining to new heights, earning three Michelin stars just three years after opening in 2021.

Es:senz is a celebration of the essentials, the pure essence of local Chiemgau ingredients, elevated with precision, elegance, and international flair.

From the Chiemgau Pur menu rooted in the region to the worldly Chiemgau Goes Around the World, every dish is a masterclass in simplicity, balance and flavor.

Take the Norwegian scallop, cut into perfect squares and brightened with ponzu and finger lime, or the unforgettable foie gras, wagyu, truffle, and caviar cylinder; a luxe bite that somehow feels effortless.

And the pigeon dish, with its truffle jus and stuffed morel cream sauce, finishes like the closing line of a Hemingway novel, lingering, soulful, and complete.

It’s a choreography of tradition and innovation, with front-of-house dressed in Tracht and a team that never misses a beat.

A gastronomic journey at the highest level at @essenz_edipsigl by chef @edip_sigl_official

Drawing on a menu with strong ties to the local Chiemgau region, Chef Edip Sigl balances creativity with explosive flavors in a balanced symphony of pleasure.

The @michelinguide says 3 stars are worth a special journey, and for Es:senz I couldn’t find a better way of describing it.

Welcome to @aponiente_angel_leon , the home of Cocina del Mar and the mind of Ángel León, El Chef del Mar. @angel_leon_aponiente ⭐️⭐️⭐️🌊🇪🇸

Three Michelin stars. The first green star in @michelinguide A legacy of marine discovery. And a mission bigger than cooking: to turn the ocean into the pantry of the future.

At Aponiente, the sea is everything. Sea beans, plankton butters, bioluminescent algae, eel-skin pâté ingredients that sound like science fiction, plated like art.

The experience flows in three acts: salty snacks, salty sea, sweet sea. Each course drifts further from what you know and deeper into León’s vision of an ocean without limits.

We start with the salty snacks.

This might be Copenhagen’s best casual restaurant !

@levi_cph is my perfect casual restaurant, serving Italian-Japanese perfection with killer cocktails, an insane wine list, and small plates that taste like they should have stars.

Think toast with lardo & caviar, kingfish collar grilled on a yakiniku with XO sauce, wagyu arancini wrapped in A5 beef.

Behind it all: Chef @gabrieleri1212 , who sharpened his knives at 3-star Jordnær and brought that level of finesse to a laid-back dining room that looks like an Architectural Digest ad

My Levi game plan? Sashimi of the day, oysters, a few wagyu arancini, a pasta, and the best pistachio gelato with olive oil you’ll ever eat. Trust me, this place works better than Viagra.

Even Copenhagen’s star chefs like Eric Vildgaard and Rasmus Munk come here when they’re off duty…
