Oddono's gelati- london



For the Italian gelato, go to Oddono's gelati. Coconut and mango sorbet are the best. This is the only place where you can get a great coconut gelato all year round. I think they are the best.


My Italian friend thinks Gelato Mio is the London's best gelato place. If you are a pistachio lover, go there. But for coconut gelato, you need Oddono's gelati!!

Miremont - Biarritz


You can´t visit Biarritz without going to Miremont.
Although the ambient is quite oldy you would love its food and the desserts.


 Incredible Foie with black pepper.


 Bogavante y tartar de atún.


And ... it´s time for desserts! You should definetely not go only for one but try and share differents with all your friends. You will no be dissappointed at all.



Desde hace tiempo me he convertido en una loca de los pistachos, así que como os imaginareis, este hojaldre es lo que más me gustó de toda la comida!



 Todo un clásico que no puede faltar en tu visita a Biarritz!

Le Boudin Blanc- london

In Shepherds Market in London, you can find probably the best French restaurant in town. Inside (well, there is outside terrace seatings too which is lovely) is small and cozy, there is an upstairs, but make sure to be seated on the ground floor. It is everything you want from a French restaurant- real French food and French service... escargots, risotto, steak tartare, and oh their bread!!- were all lovely. mmm... what else, seafood dish is recommended. Couldn't try onion soup and desserts, but I am pretty sure they are up to standard, if not beyond. Here is the link, please enjoy the French night out. 

メイフェアのShepherds Marketにはレストラン、カフェ、パブが集まっていて通り抜けるだけでも楽しいエリアですが、ロンドンで一番のフランス料理店があるのもここなのです。ユーロスターに乗ってパリに行かずとも、このレストランに入れば十分フランスが味わえます。良くも悪くも雰囲気・味・サービスもフレンチ式です。エスカルゴ、ステーキタルタル、リゾット。メインはシーフードを食べましたがどれも満足。定番のオニオンスープとデザートまでは試せませんでしたが、まず間違いなし!と思います。外のテラス席も良いですがレストラン内なら一階を。こちらがリンクです。

KOSUSHI- sao paulo

Founded by a Japanese chef and a Brasilian partner, KOSUSHI has been there in Itaim on the same location for more than 20 years. From outside, it is very hidden and discreet, but once you are inside, it is usually full of people and creates a great social space. 




Sushi menu has a Brasilian twist, do try deep-friend sushi to be different. It is pretty good. And also try fresh fruits sakerinha (caipirinha made with sake, and it is very common in Brasil) Kiwi and passion-fruits ones are always nice.



Overall, one of the trendiest restaurants I have been in Sao Paulo, and I would go back for its space. Very nicely done. Great presentation. Can be good for any occasion, you won't fail!


Although my recommendation only goes to KOSUSHI in Itaim, they have just opened its second restaurant in the new- and the most expensive- shopping mall, CIDADE JARDIM. The owner told me that one is very nice. 
Perhaps it is for you to discover!



サンパウロ内でトレンディーな日本食レストランはItaimにあるKOSUSHIが一番だと思います。日本人シェフとブラジル人の共同パートナーが20年以上前にオープンさせた老舗なのですが、ひっそりとした外観からは想像がつかない程、一歩中に入るとモダンで洗練された空間が待ち受けます。ビジネスにはランチを、プライベートではディナーがお勧めです。

揚げ巻き寿司や、ブラジルならではの*サケリーニャを楽しんでみてください。
*カイピリーニャーをカシャサの代わりに日本酒で作ったもの。ブラジルではとても一般的で、レストランやバーで必ずメニューにあります。キウイとパッションフルーツがお勧め。

Pateo do Collegio- sao paulo

This one, I had to share it with you. Because it is truly the best of best. You would never find it by being a tourist. It is almost like a local diner, usually full of near-by office workers for lunch. It is not fancy at all, you would only go there for the food! Meat dish was amazing, also I heard good things about their pasta. Do TRY!!

サンパウロのダウンタウンにある、とてもローカルなレストランです。質素な内装でレストランというよりも、いかにもダイナーといった趣きですが、味は素晴らしいです。お肉のプレート(ライスとポテト付き)が本当に美味しい!!パスタの評判も良いので、試す価値はあると思います。とにかく、今までサンパウロで食べたなかで一番のお勧めレストランです!リンクはこちら

Le vin bistro- sao paulo

 If you are looking for a French style bistro for lunch in Sao Paulo, it is worth trying Le vin near by Oscar Freire. We were there on Friday, and the daily lunch menu on that day was the perfect example of French and Brasilian fusion.. Brilliantly done and we were amazed by their work: Brasilian meat "Picadinho" served with French style.



We also enjoyed choosing our deserts brought by the nearby patisserie- THIS was a true French style by taste. 


Upstairs outside terrace is a nice place to be seated. 





サンパウロでランチの美味しいフレンチビストロならOscar Freire近くのLe vinに行ってみてください。日替わりのランチメニューで、金曜日のPicadinhoがとても美味しかったです。ブラジル料理がフレンチ式に上手にアレンジされています。


デザートは近くのパティスリーから運ばれてくるケーキから好きなものを選べます。
そこまで甘過ぎないフレンチテイストです。

天気が良ければ二階のテラス席がお勧めです。

Megan´s - london

Megan´s Deli is one of my favourite café in London. Once you are there you will know why.




Home made cakes, nice quiches & salads, best cooked breaksfast ever! They bake all their own cakes (brownie is the best) and have a huge selection of fresh fruit juices made to order. We tried some and they were delicious.
They also use ingredients seasonnally and the space is so nice you will add this place into your must-go list.
No te vayas de Londres sin pasar por Megan! En Kings Road 571. Podrás tomar brunch, aperitivo, merienda o una original cena. Ingredientes de calidad, muchos postres que hoornean ellos mismos, ensaladas... Me encanta: tiene varios pisos, distintos espacios, dentro y al aire libre...
Un sitio obligado.

HAFEZ 1- london


Very cozy Persian restaurant just off Westbourne Grove. *there is another Persian restaurant on Westbourne Grove which is quite good, and there you have to queue for 30 minutes. However this place is much more recommended in terms of the food and space! 


So typical Persian dinner goes like this... 

as for starters, you can have a salad, yogurt dip- try spinach one to be different- and the best is aubergine mix called mirzaghasemi. all eat together with the freshly baked bread...!!

as for the main, order lamb. and stew with beans, aubergines and some pieces of meat is very authentic called Khoreshte gheyme bademjin. everything is eaten with rice, also try with crushed tomato and red Persian spice- all together is the key!

to finish the dinner, try a jag of yogurt with mint. it is very salty.. but well, tradition!!

The prettiest drink you can ever seen can be found here: Rose Petal Water!!! Super sweet, but worth having it on your table. You will see...!! 
(Sometimes you get unlucky to get one without the rose petals on top... but usually really pretty)




Westbourne Groveを少し入ったところにあるペルシャレストランです。Westbourne Grove沿いにも毎晩行列ができているペルシャレストランがありますが、こちらの方がこじんまりとした雰囲気で、料理のクオリティーもお勧めです。
(イラン人の友人の間でも色々な意見があるので、どちらが好きかはもう個人の好みです)



典型的なペルシャ料理のディナーはこのような感じです。。。
スターターにはトマト、キュウリ、タマネギを細かく刻んだ典型的なサラダと、ヨーグルトディプ。(ほうれん草味を選んで変化を!)一番のお勧めは茄子の和え物のmirzaghasemiです。全て焼きたての薄いパンと一緒に楽しみます。
メインコースには、ラムを注文すれば間違いありません。(ラムが苦手な方はチキンを)
また、典型的なKhoreshte gheyme bademjinという豆と茄子、肉の入ったシチューも試してみてください。ペルシャ料理の嬉しいところは、いつもご飯が付いてくるところです。ご飯はバターで和えて、潰した焼きトマト、赤色のペルシャスパイスとメインのお肉やシチューと一緒に食べるのがポイントです。
食事の最後には、ミント味のヨーグルトドリンクを。塩辛いのですが、更に塩を加えて飲むこともあるようです。慣れないと少し変な気がしますが、これも冒険です!

ソフトドリンクにはとても甘いのですがRose Petal Waterを。
今まで見た中で一番可愛いドリンクです。
(忘れずに薔薇の花びらがのって出てくればですが)

CAFE RIVAL- stockholm



Lovely cafe in Stockholm, good for a light lunch or coffee+ cakes. In front of Mariatorget square, which is pretty with sunshine, and not at all touristic. You can enjoy their cinnamon rolls if you want a bit of Swedish taste...


ストックホルム、Mariatorgetにあるカフェ。軽いランチ(サンドイッチ)や、コーヒー、ケーキがお勧め。スウェーデンらしいシナモンロールも。友達や仕事のミーティング場所にぴったりです。
