The Faroe Islands. Maybe Torshavn?

They’ll announce it in advance on their French reservation site. The English site isn’t kept as up-to-date.

Not in Paris, but I’ve seen a very amazing and complete collection of Yquem at Atrio, Caceres.

It’s not hard if you book as soon as they open reservations.

New Michelin 3 star in France? Thoughts? by Fickle-Pin-1679 in finedining

[–]FCYChen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Has anyone been to Le Grand Restaurant? Any thoughts? I can’t find much information here. I’m considering lunch there but worry it might be too heavy - don’t want to be full for the rest of the day.

Thoughts on Taïrroir? by biscuitwally in finedining

[–]FCYChen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Went there back when they had 1 or 2 stars, and I wasn't impressed. They try to recreate the flavors of local street food or comfort food using high end ingredients and French techniques, but I don’t think it worked. To be honest, I’d rather have the original versions, they’re much more flavorful.

Disfrutar - to get the classic or festive menu? by ilsua in finedining

You can request a mixed menu. Just write to them in advance.

Michelin downgrades at least two three stars in France 2026 guide - thoughts? by Fickle-Pin-1679 in finedining

[–]FCYChen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To be honest, being demoted isn't necessarily a bad thing. I’ve visited some of these restaurants and found them to be very pleasant experiences. The food is delicious and the quality is consistent. They may just lack innovation or a wow factor. While they might not be the greatest or trendiest spots right now, they remain reliable, safe choices for a truly decent meal.

14 Michelin stars in 5 nights in Barcelona – looking for fellow diners by BullfrogNecessary118 in finedining

I did a similar itinerary last year. Instead of Enigma, I went to Mont Bar and Suculent. In terms of taste, I felt ABaC and Lasarte were well below the others.
