MITSUBA- Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

The best sushi place found in Brazil!!!

It is the smallest simplest corner place in Rio which serves the best fresh fish/ sushi ever. Worth a taxi ride from those famous beach areas to this restaurant in a rather remote area. Ask for fish of the day!

BADEJO- Sao Paulo, Brazil

Try this mouqueca specialised restaurant, just amazing... One of my favourite "Brazilian" dishes- pure seafood only no meat! They serve mouquecas not from Bahia which use lots of coconuts milk+oil and very heavy but from the ones of Espirito Santo State. I couldn't forget about this restaurant from 3 years ago's 1 time visit, and finally today made it back there. Happiest smile and the fullest tummy all the way...!!

Botafumeiro- Barcelona, Spain

The most authentic seafood restaurant found in Barcelona... A real top kind. When we were going around the city just to find a place which serves "percebes", this was the only and the last place, as soon as we enter, I knew this was it, and forgot the entire afternoon spent in heat in search of the place with percebes. Amazing cava, percebes, lovely counter, service and the best chocolate & petit deserts... They gave us a tour of the back of the restaurant which is beautiful with so many seats. Dinner there must also be amazing, but I was just so content sitting by the counter with our amazing percebes and drink, almost missed flight back to Paris. www.botafumeiro.es

Icho Restaurant- dubai, UAE


If you miss a traditional Japanese food in Dubai, Icho restaurant is the place to go. We were there for lunch, and they have a typical Japanese lunch set menu. Udon is great there, do not go for soba! The picture is the one we all tasted, Kamo Nanban Udon. Amazing. The volume is twice the normal Japanese size though. The salad is nice with Japanese goma dressing. Plus the deseart sorbet is also not disappointing at all!

 


Make sure to ask Sushi Chef Mr. Kitade to make a few rolls or nigiris of your preference. His sushi is fantastic. Probably as best as it gets in Dubai.

The view from the restaurant is nice. Reminded me of Roppongi Hills in Tokyo. You will feel closer to home...! mmm!!
