Another completely useless 3 star restaurant.
Set in the French mountains in a really nice old building it serves food which can only be described as a joke. The food sort of matches the monstrosities only the French can put up in their mountains with no respect for the environment.

Another completely useless 3 star restaurant.
Set in the French mountains in a really nice old building it serves food which can only be described as a joke. The food sort of matches the monstrosities only the French can put up in their mountains with no respect for the environment.
The “masterpiece” being a peasant dish which probably will be served in the local restaurant for €6 much better. The menu started and ended with an ice concoction which had no taste but left you with a brain freeze.
To be fair the riz de veau (lower left) and the trout (upper right) was excellent.
Don’t waste your time hiking up into the French Alps. Less

A chateau in the middle of strip malls! Tucked away into a small forest lies the slightly faded Chateau which houses the restaurant.
The cuisine is modern French with some twists. The ingredients are sourced from all over the country and Spain and are of high quality. The flavour profile is Mediterranean.

- Gerhard Huber added a new meal Dinner at Fujiya 1935 at Fujiya 1935
Interesting innovative restaurant trying to emphasis the ingredients with very restraint flavors.
Some might say it is boring, but it is an interesting concept which brings out the best (or worst ) in the main ingredients.
4th generation in the same family which each patron bringing a completely new concept to the restaurant.

Something happens when you dine in Rome for the first time. There's a moment of disbelief that just a handful of simple ingredients — tomatoes, pasta, Pecorino Romano, guanciale — can add up to such a memorable meal. It's true for anywhere in Italy, really, where the tendency is to rely on fresh, seasonal ingredients and stick to time-tested recipes. In the Eternal City those recipes include fried artichokes, trippa alla Romana (tripe stewed in tomato sauce), and four legendary pasta dishes: cacio pepe, carbonara, gricia, and amatriciana. While you can find these classics in countless trattorie in every corner of the city, some do them better than others. Read on for these must-visit restaurants in Rome.
