Lunch at ⭐️⭐️ Tempura Kondo in Tokyo a while back. There is a story relating to this extremely highly regarded tempura restaurant on the 9th floor of an unassuming block in the Ginza district that I find very pleasing, and in my view it very neatly surmises an element of Japanese culture that I have always looked upon with awe and envy in equal measure.
When then President Barack Obama was in Japan some years ago, it was reported that the Japanese Prime Minister wanted to take him here for a meal. Unfortunately they were fully booked so they had to go elsewhere (Sushi Jiro I believe). In an age where it is relatively straight forward to gain reservations with a nod and a wink it is very pleasing to me that in Japan it is still unthinkable to let your already booked customers down and cancel or move or in anyway inconvenience them and their reservations, even if the most powerful man on the planet wants to drop in.

My first stop on a recent trip to Alba was another visit to ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Piazza Duomo. This really is one of my favourite three star restaurants in the world. It totally lived up to my expectations. With the Korean style parade of dishes that swamps your table before the menu even starts I can’t think of another restaurant anywhere that has a better introduction to the meal. Highly recommended.

After an amazing dinner last night in Ghent at Chambre Séparée, this morning I drove about an hour West to the coast to visit Restaurant Willem Hiele Fine Dining in the town of Koksijde.
I am amazed this place does not have more recognition from the Michelin guide. It really was a spectacular meal. Willem cooks using herbs and vegetables from his own garden, locally sourced meat and seafood only from the North Sea which is only a few hundred yards away. The food is inventive and delicious.
Even though Willem and his wife have been running this restaurant for 6 years now, he still spends his spare time flying off to do stages in other restaurants in order to gain even more experience. Recently he has done stages under Mikael Jonsson at Hedone in London and Bittor Arguinzoniz at Etxebarri in the Basque Country.
This goes some way to explaining why I enjoyed Willem’s cooking so much as he chose to stage under two of my favourite chefs on the planet.
Anyway, as you may be able to deduce, I liked this meal a lot and I highly recommend you visit if you are in the area, or like me, even if you are not in the area.
Thanks to Lou for the rec.
