Tresind Studio- The only Indian with a Michelin Star in Dubai

November 1, 2022 No Comments

Tresind Studio is the culinary project by chef Himanashu Saini awarded with a Michelin Star by Michelin guide, number 4 by MENAS50best and number 57 in the ranking made by theworlds50best.

What do you eat at Tresind Studio?

Tresind Studio is an Immersive Modern Indian Dining. They’ve transformed the concept of indian food and elevating it. Your perception of what indian food is will totally transform once you set foot in this amazing restaurant.

Ambiance

When I went to this restaurant it was still located inside Radisson Blue Hotel, where the other Tresind is. In fact, the restaurant was inside Tresind and a backdoor would take you to the little Tresind Studio. Now they’ve changed locations and are set in The Palm. The OG Tresind Studio was a small restaurant and very modest, it felt very intimate and casual, nothing fancy. But the greatest joy wasn’t the ambiance or the decor, it was the amazing food we were served. I can’t wait to visit the new restaurant.

The Food

The night consisted of a 13 course menu. You better go with enough hunger because portions were big and dense, towards the end it was difficult to finish all the dishes. I know they’ve changed their menu, they’ve preserved some old dishes and they’ve done a pairing menu. Love that they’ve improved themselves, even when they were absolutely perfect before.

Whenever a dish came I was mindblown, left in awe. Extremely beautiful and elegant dishes arrived to the table non-stop during the night. So much effort and detail went into creating all those dishes that truly felt like watching an edible piece of art. They were visually an authentic show but it didn’t stop there. A burst of flavours in your mouth, rich, strong and thick dishes that left you mouthwatering.

Tresind Studio

I really loved Tresind Studio Michelin Star restaurant. It’s nice seeing a variety of cuisines other than french or more western cuisines being recognized by Michelin. This proves that any cuisine can be elevated and creatively presented, and I’m here for that.

Sühring- 2 Michelin Star German Restaurant in the Middle of Bangkok

October 31, 2022 No Comments

Sühring (@restaurant_suhring) is a two Michelin Star restaurant in Bangkok by german twins Thomas and Mathias

The restaurant is located in a traditional but renovated Thai home with a minimalist, cosy and elegant vibe. They have different dinning rooms distributed accross the two floors of the building. The main dining room, the glass house located in the garden and a private dinning room upstairs.

There is not a la carte menu available, only set menu that changes seasonally with high-quility ingredients and a strong presence of meats. On this occasion, the signature dish was the seven day cured and hay-smoked duck. Duck meat was on point: crispy skin and the meat was tender and juicy. A-MA-ZING! The fish was the only dish I didn’t like as much.

There is a good selection of wines, cocktails, mocktails and juices. As I don’t usually drink alcohol I asked them for a cocktail without alcohol. Desserts and Petit Fours were really good, very refreshing to end the night.

Service was excellent and times between dishes were great.

Sühring Michelin Star restaurant is a must if you are in Bangkok!

Only during weekends you’ll be able to indulge here. A small but complete breakfast menu. I warn you, you’ll leave the restaurant rolling like a stone as I found breakfast to be VERY fullfilling.

Avocado on toast was phenomenal. That freshly-baked bread and crispy veal beacon was a dream. Beef cheeks benedict was pure delight for your mouth, very juicy and tender. Pain au chocolat freshly from the oven minutes before eating eat was perfect, crunchy and with the right sweetness. Smoothie was delicious.

Service was fantastic, super quick and mindful. Shout out to the girl in the front desk who was pure happiness, her good mood is very contagious.

Totally recommended! Don’t miss 11 Woodfire for a unique breakfast at a Michelin Star.

Hoseki- Omakase Michelin Star restaurant at the luxurious Bvlgari Resort Dubai

October 31, 2022 1 Comment

Hoseki is one of the most famous omakase restaurant in the city and it is located at the luxurious Bvlgari resort. Masahiro Sugiyama offers an unbeatable culinary experience. With only 9 seats, making a reservation can be difficult but not impossible. Recently, Hoseki Dubai was awarded with a well-deserved Michelin Star, I’m so happy about it.

In case you don’t know, omakase is the Japanese term that means leaving all the meal choices to the chef, in other words, entrust. That means that you won’t be able to choose which dishes to eat or not. If you’ve never been to an Omakase, I would suggest going with an opend mind and only if you are willing to try everything. Otherwise, you won’t like the experiece. Omakase restaurants are mostly in a seated bar where you watch the chef prepare your meal— a pleasant eye experience as it is very soothing and enigmatic watching how the chef make your food.

DiverXo- the temple of creativity, innivation and passion

October 31, 2022 No Comments

Diverxo by Dabiz Muñoz in Madrid is undoubtly one place you shouldn’t miss if you are in the capital city.

Dabiz Muñoz is probably one of the most renowned chefs from Spain and the best chef in the world. Diverxo is his 3 michelin starred restaurant, one of the 50’s best restaurants in the world and one of the best culinary experiences in my life.

This is not your typical michelin restaurant as there is no place for stiffness or formalities here. A very casual and fun restaurant, with vivid colours surroundings and extremely comfortable chairs to enjoy the journey. It won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but I really liked how different the ambience is from the same calibre restaurants.

Diverxo is the temple of creativity, innovation and passion, a place where high-quality products and complex, tasteful and beautiful dishes are delivered with success. Each dish was truly a piece of art.

There is only a set menu that changes every couple month. My menu was: XO rollercoaster- inspirations from Southeast Asia.

My favourites were: the frosty salad with ocean side dishes (an unexpected, mind-blowing and exquisite dish), and the Galician lobster waking up in the beaches of Goa (mouth-watering and beautifully displayed). Desserts were delightful, I loved them both.

Timing between the dishes were simply PERFECTION. Not too quick and not to slow, they all arrived on time. And without even realising it, you’ve been sitting in the restaurant for hours enjoying all the good food.

Service at Diverxo by Dabiz Muñoz in Madrid was exceptional, very caring and friendly.

The experience in this restaurant is one that I will cherish forever. A rollercoaster of emotions and flavours.

Saddle- A Michelin star restaurant in Madrid

October 30, 2022 No Comments

Saddle is a one michelin star restaurant by spanish chef Adolfo Santos García located where the famous restaurant Jockey once was.

A very sophisticated and glamorous place that has a big dining area with a panoramic view of the kitchen, a bar focused on a more relaxed setting and reserved rooms located upstairs.

Saddle is inspired by classic and contemporary cuisine, a place to taste dishes with traditional flavours, seasonal and high quality ingredients. We chose the set menu to try many dishes. Each dish was elegantly displayed and most of the times they were finished on the table.

Saddle can proudly boast of having a complete and extensive wine menu. I highlight the champagne menu and the outstanding recommendation by sumellier Israel Ramírez.
