Another visit to the incredibly talented @jikaseibarcelona @shokunin_sushi_ and his secret sushi counter…. Somewhere in Barcelona 🤫

Dinner last year at one of my favourite restaurants anywhere, ⭐️⭐️ L’Atelier D’Edmond near Val D’Isere. I love coming here partly because in a former life I worked 7 ski seasons in this resort, terrorising monied chalet guests with my terrible cooking. Terrible because I would be brutally hung over most days. Lively ski resorts and a more youthful me were a dangerous combination and I’m still not entirely sure how I managed to complete around 12 seasons without getting fired once 🤷🏼
Anyway, I love the cooking here. It’s what I would describe as delicious food. I can go to three star restaurants and have perfectly executed dishes, but that don’t have that deliciousness that actually puts a warm feeling inside you and a smile on your face. So if you want delicious food then go and eat at Atelier d’Edmond.

The next stop on last year’s alpine tour was dinner and a room at ⭐️⭐️⭐️ La Bouitte in Saint Martin de Belleville. Perfectly nice food, in beautiful surroundings.

The next stop on last year’s alpine tour was dinner and a room at ⭐️⭐️⭐️ La Bouitte in Saint Martin de Belleville. Perfectly nice food, in beautiful surroundings. The room they gave me was apparently the chef René Meilleur’s bedroom as a boy, but I suspect they tell that to every guest in every room.
The food was nice, although I thought that maybe the more traditional style of René’s was perhaps fighting a little with the more modern desires of son Maxime. That’s just my opinion though. I also felt that the service was lacking a little both in warmth (compared with some of our recent meals at this level) and in actual competence, with the sommelier falling behind twice and needing prompting also. Wines were introduced with the briefest of descriptions so that he could go to spend more time with tables of locals. At least that is how it appeared from my perspective. Not somewhere that I would rush back to which is a shame as I very much enjoyed my first visit here a few years ago. Although that was for a Vega Sicilia wine event so wasn’t a typical experience.

Lunch, dinner and a room at ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Clos des Sens in Annecy.
On this tour that I completed last Spring, the plan was to visit approximately 100 restaurants over the couple of months that I was fortunate enough to be able to take off work. The first stage of the tour started around Lyon and the plan was to then drive to Lech in Austria over 10 days or so, stopping at some of my favourite restaurants along the way.
On this first, lakes and alpine stage, I learnt two things. The first is that there is no such thing as too many enormous cheese chariots. Indeed, one can never have enough as far as I’m concerned, and in this region, I definitely reached peak cheese.
The second lesson I learnt was that there is absolutely such a thing as too much low temperature cooked lake fish. If I see another fera fish or pike perch, presented as a luke warm mush, I will not be held responsible for my actions.
That said, I really enjoyed my meals at Clos Des Sens. They were kind enough to present two different menus for me to enjoy as I was returning solo for dinner. They probably won best cheese chariot of the many (as you will see) that were rolled towards me over that week, and also I think me and Ildiko were agreed that the sommelier (I wish I could remember his name) was one of the best we had both ever had serve us. Hugely knowledgeable as you’d expect about the wine, but also engaging and knew the menu back to front. It seemed like he could have probably cooked it.
Definitely worth splashing for one of the stunning rooms if you dine here.

If you are in Lyon and want to try some of the classic lyonnaise dishes like pike mousse, sausages or snails then La Meunière is a good place to visit.

My first meal on the French leg of a tour I organised last year was at ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Troisgros. The plan was to drive from here to Lech over a couple of weeks, pinballing between amazing restaurants and amazing people along the way. Troisgros has been on my bucket list for ages, so I was glad to be able to slot it into the schedule. From humble beginnings in 1930 in Roanne, this restaurant has had generations of the Troisgros family behind the stoves and now the restaurant exists in a beautiful farm house just 8km from it’s original location. I believe that they have held three Michelin stars since 1968 which is an incredible achievement.
The dining room is magnificent, and designed in such a way as to give the impression that you are sitting in the surrounding gardens and woods. The food was good, starting very strong and also ending with a truly fantastic dessert, and you can definitely see the influences from the younger generation of the Troisgros family’s travels around the world before settling here. I’m glad I went, and also glad I stayed in their beautiful rooms.

One of the highlights of last year for me was stumbling across @rileysfishshack just a short drive East from Newcastle. We got incredibly lucky with the weather for this time of year. It’s basically a shipping container, on a beach, which has a small kitchen with a wood fired oven and grill. The various catches of the day are cooked and served simply either inside by a log burner on a high table or outside over looking the beach. You can even grab one of the deckchairs and enjoy your meal sat on the sand in the sun. I can’t wait to go back.

Lunch earlier last year at ⭐️ @pollen_street_social in London. @_jasonatherton , @dale_bainbridge_ and the team certainly seem to have upped their game since my first visit a few years ago (which was also great). The cooking is at a two star level in my opinion and I wouldn’t be surprised if they gained that second star in the next guide Michelin. Well worth visiting while in London.
