Roscioli

  • Roscioli Via dei Guibbonari, 21-22, Roma. Tel +34 066875287. We have been having lunch 2 or 3 times. It is expensive but the quality is high. Although pasta is correct I recommend to go and try the delicatessen they offer. The cellar is just incredible. They have a nice section of beers. To make a reservation is more than necessary. They close on Sunday.

Miramar

  • Miramar. Carretera Miramar 40. Barcelona 08038. Spain. Tel +34934418397. I was invited for the inaguration cocktail and the night view over Barcelona is just splendid. I returned with Helena Martínez, last friday, for lunch. We had the executive menú 21€ wine not included. The food is more than correct. The view is incredible (if you have a table by the window). The cellar is a bite expensive. All in all a place to enjoy company, food and view.

Le Sud

  • Le Sud, 11, place A. Poncet. Lyon. Tel + 33 0472778000. This is another of those magnificent ideas of Paul Bocusse. At Le Sud you can try the most sophisticated Mediterranean cuisine. Tajin and Couscous are just unforgetable. I was there for dinner during last ICT event 2008. Helena Martínez paid a visit in 2006

Le 3 zucche

  • Le 3 zucche. Via Mengarini, 43 Rome, Italy . Tel +39 39 065 560758. This is cossy restaurant is located in non-touristic neighbor of Rome. The cuisine is exquisite, the prices are very reasonable and the truffles there are a must.
    Good and equilibrated wine list. A nice contribution by Roberta Annicchiarico & Fabio Campana.

Pompi

  • Pompi. Via Albalonga, 7b/9/11 00183 Roma (Near Piazza Re di Roma). This is on of those places that only natives with a taste know. I came there few years ago invited by Roberta Annicchiarico. They have a superb tiramisù and also have a great aperitif hour in the afternoon. It is always crowed but it deserves the try. It is closed on Monday and the open from 06:30 to 01:30 AM.

Balthazar

This is a great contribution by Gianna Tsakou. Located in a nice house. This magnificent house has a garden and there they have a bar and restaurant for this season. Music is chill-out.

  • Balthazar, 27 Tshoha str & Bournazou, 115 21 Athens. Greece. Tel +30 2106412300. A nice ambiance, good food in the right middle between tradition and innovation. I tried ceviche and, as second, saumon with a rissoto. They have a good expresso machine, a must. Very good cocktails. Wine cellar is interesting but overpriced. Try greek red wines. We tried Nema 2005 a very interesing local wine. Reservations are required
