Two Fridays ago, Gourmet Chick and I went on a double date to Tinello, a newish Italian that’s gotten lots of publicity thanks to its association with Locanda Locatelli, where Tinello’s owners used to work as sous chef and sommelier. As Gourmet Chick has already noted in her excellent blog post about that evening, our [...]

Alain Ducasse at the Dorchester, Mayfair

Last Wednesday evening, I finally gave in to the temptation of accepting a restaurant’s “invitation to review.” I figured that if I accept only one freebie in my life, it might as well be a 3-Michelin-star one. Four other bloggers (A Rather Unusual Chinaman, Cheese & Biscuits, Hollow Legs, Greedy Diva) and I were invited [...]
48 Hours in Montreal, Canada

The weekend following the one we spent in Wicklow, Ireland, Jon and I arrived in Montreal to attend another friend’s wedding. At Montreal-Trudeau airport, a bit of karmic payback for all the Canada digs I’ve inflicted on my Canadian friends: a 90-minute queue at immigration. Who knew so many people wanted [...]

Two weeks ago, Jon and I celebrated the wedding of good friends in the rolling countryside just south of Dublin. Luck was with us and the weather that weekend was sunny and mild, and while most of the weekend was spent at wedding festivities (such that I didn’t get a chance to eat [...]
Restaurants in Burgundy, France
Posted in France, Travel, tagged Beaune, Beaune restaurants, bib gourmand restaurants in Burgundy, BlogSherpa, Burgundy, Burgundy and the Rhone, Chez Guy restaurant, Cote de Beaune, Cote de Nuits, cycling in Burgundy, France, La Ciboulette restaurant, restaurants on October 11, 2010 | 6 Comments »
Although Jon and I were in Burgundy for a week, our dining options were constrained by the fact that (1) someone else chose our hotels for us; and (2) we were traveling by bicycle. Dinner options were therefore confined to restaurants within the town where our hotel was located, and lunch options couldn’t [...]

Gevrey-Chambertin After three days of cycling in the Cote Chalonnaise and Cote de Beaune, Jon and I headed north from Beaune to sip the (mostly) reds of the Cote de Nuits for another three days. First, the low point of the trip: we stayed two nights at the Castel de Tres Girard in Morey-Saint-Denis, which [...]
