At 𝗕𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗷𝗮𝗸, inspired by the hole-in-the-wall kababis of Iran, every dish feels both familiar and reimagined - smoky, vibrant, and full of heart❤️‍🔥

We started with 𝘁𝗮𝗳𝘁𝗼𝗼𝗻, a clay tanoor-baked sourdough, which paired perfectly with dips like the refreshing yogurt-based 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘁 𝗼 𝗸𝗵𝗶𝗮𝗿 and the smokey 𝗸𝗮𝘀𝗵𝗸 𝗲 𝗯𝗮𝗱𝗲𝗺𝗷𝗼𝗼𝗻 with coal-cooked aubergine🥒

From the grill, the 𝗸𝗼𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗵 𝗸𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗯 stood out - minced lamb shoulder seasoned with onions and black pepper🍖 The 𝗷𝘂𝗷𝗲𝗵 𝗸𝗮𝗯𝗮𝗯, marinated in saffron, lemon, and yoghurt, was equally bright and flavourful🍋

The original Soho outpost is intimate - walk-ins are limited and queues often form before opening, but it is worth the wait⏳ For a little more breathing room, the Borough location offers the same soulful Persian cooking in a slightly larger space🪑

　　　shoulder, onions, black pepper

There’s something irresistibly comforting about a perfect 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗾𝘂𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗸𝗲 - creamy, caramelised, and just a little nostalgic🥰

We first stumbled upon @lamaritxulondon at the Fine Food Market in @dukeofyorksquare (curated by @partridgesfoods) and have been obsessed ever since🍰

Founded by three Basque sisters - Maria, Almudena, and Lucia - 𝗟𝗮 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘅𝘂 is a heartfelt tribute to their roots in San Sebastián, where this iconic cheesecake was born🇪🇸 The name itself combines “Maria” with the affectionate Basque suffix “-txu”, symbolising warmth and familiarity (pronounced like “chew” - though you’ll never need to with their silky-smooth cheesecake)💛

Each cake is baked in-store with the finest ingredients and, most importantly, love🫶🏼 Whether you pick up a slice or take home a whole cake, every bite feels like a little trip to the Basque Country☀️

We tried both the original 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲 and the limited-edition 𝘁𝗶𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘂 𝘀𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗲 - each beautifully balanced and absolutely divine💯 The perfect treat for a cosy afternoon in London🫖

You can find them at Connaught Village or Kingly Court, or catch them at weekend markets - but be warned: once you’ve tried it, there’s no going back🙈

Sala de Despiece - Madrid (Spain)

@saladedespiece is a bit tricky to describe. I think the best classification for it is a modern tapas bar. The vibe is young and lively, with communal tables in an ambiance that reminds you of a mix between a food market and a butcher shop.

The experimental food served here, with many dishes being finished tableside, puts ingredients at the center stage.

The deep fried artichoke with caviar and avocado cream combines sweet and brinny notes into one memorable bite. Other standouts were the pancetta filled with a cured egg yolk and foie and the chuleton, thin slices of beef rolled with a tomato and a truffled paste.

But besides the food in itself, the whole concept behind it is what truly makes a meal at Sala de Despiece so special. The interactive dining, with clients engaged in the presentation of many courses, the sharable aspect of most items and the high level of creativity surrounding it all made me rejoice and truly appreciate my time inside those industrial-like walls.

La Casa de Abuelo - Madrid (Spain)

When travelling abroad, there are some clear signs on where not to stop for lunch. Avoiding places in touristy areas and with neighboring restaurants with hosts inviting guests inside with big menus on display is a good rule of thumb, for example.

But there are exceptions to every rule, and @lacasadelabuelo is certainly one of them. Located near Puerta del Sol, the historic tavern is well deserving of its fame for the signature and viral Gambas al Ajillo.

The sizzling shrimps are served in a ceramic pan that resembles an olive oil bath tub, with tons of garlic and a few chillies. It is addictive and very tasty, being a perfect place to step away from the crowds and the heat when touristing through the city center.

Really enjoyed this meal at @coppie.kyoto, a great find in a residential corner of Kyoto’s Shinmachi neighborhood. The food is creative yet unfussy (try the stracciatella with olive oil and 酒盗), served with a nice selection of natural wines and well-crafted mocktails. I dug the laid-back vibes and the cozy but cool interior, made all the better by the warm service.

Matsutake season has arrived, and I celebrated at @hyakuyaku_by_tokuyamazushi, a sleek new counter in Ginza helmed by young chef Hitoshi Sato.

Sato spends his days off visiting producers, and it shows in the pristine seasonal seafood prepared with precision. Especially loved the succulent grilled kinki brushed with sweetened soy and wrapped around julienned matsutake. But one of the highlights was brown bear shabu-shabu, a nod to consulting chef Hiroaki Tokuyama’s legendary Tokuyama Sushi on Lake Biwa. Naturally, funazushi appeared, but as just a whisper of umami funk beneath venison gelée and shiso flowers.

Thoughtful pairings, exceptional execution, and a well-deserved first Michelin 🌟 . Congratulations to Chef Sato and the team!

I’d been wanting to visit 🌟 @resonance.bkk for ages, so when I had the chance to try chef @shun.shimomura’s cuisine at a recent Tokyo pop-up at @kenta_miyawaki, I didn’t hesitate.

The menu was surprising, elegant, and eclectic – a reflection of Shun’s Japanese roots and nomadic career across Europe and Asia. Stuffed kisu wrapped with egoma leaf and deep-fried, served with umeboshi and som bang mot (Thai mandarin). Sweet hokkigai with Swiss chard and capers in a velvety sauce made from grouper bones. Venison with black garlic and yuzukosho. The hybrid Japanese curry was the perfect way to close it all out.

Pairings included some serious wines – Vouette & Sorbée Champagne, Huber Alte Setzen Grüner Veltliner, Jacques Prieur Bourgogne, Benjamin Leroux Gevrey-Chambertin, Château Guiraud Sauternes.

A truly wonderful evening - only missing @francescaferreyros!
