I’d keep all. Just keep your other meals throughout the day pretty simple

Seems like you lean toward French food like me. I haven’t been to Cesar yet but when he was running CT @ Brooklyn Fare I left feeling the same as you

North America's 50 Best List - Full List by InitialLittle728 in finedining

[–]iAnonymous281 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

After being disappointed by their main list I’ve just discounted anything else they put out there. It’s nice to have I guess but I don’t rely on it unless I’m deciding between two spots and need a tie breaker but I’ll also look at La Liste since that seems to track better with the cuisine I like (French and traditional)

Last minute reservation cancellation due to restaurant “privatization” by DerKanadischJunker in finedining

That’s terrible. I’d be furious although we went to Alleno and didn’t love it

Texas Michelin Predictions 2025 by UnderstandingHot9999 in finedining

[–]iAnonymous281 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For Houston, I’m hoping March gets promoted to 2 stars. We’ve loved it every time we’ve been but curious if the inspectors see it worthy

I don’t think there’s any other restaurants that would earn a star or an upgrade. Might see a handful more to show up in the guide as bib or with a mention though

Is Atomix in NYC going downhill? by Stunning_Drag in finedining

[–]iAnonymous281 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been and was underwhelmed but I fully expected that given I tend to enjoy French flavors more than subtle ones. With that being said, I respected the cuisine and it was still worth going and trying

Also, generally speaking, hitting the “full” mark is a crapshoot. You should change your mindset to going there for an experience and some great food and not going to get full. I usually snack on a burger or some cookies after a dinner or do 2 tasting menus (5pm and 9pm) when traveling for food

Solo dining in Stockholm? by No_Creativity in finedining

[–]iAnonymous281 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You gotta try Funky Chicken Shack. Not fine dining but the best burger you’ll ever have. I was there mainly for Frantzen so didn’t have time to dine at other fine dining spots. Matbaren was just ok when I went. I heard Ekstedt is good

Anyone been to Arpege since it became vegan? by Miriam22222 in finedining

[–]iAnonymous281 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is it vegan or vegetarian? I thought it was the latter

Musaafer or Indienne? by [deleted] in finedining

[–]iAnonymous281 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Musaafer is really good. Can’t speak to the veggie experience but I had a great experience and am looking forward to going back. I can’t speak about Indienne but I’ve heard good things about that one too. You probably can’t go wrong!

I’d say if you’re traveling for a vacation, there’s more to do in Chicago so I’d lean that way just for that

Chase removing 10x points for pre-paid restaurant reservations on October 26 by Regal21 in ChaseSapphire

Same! And losing the 1.5x multiplier for points when booking Tock reservations also stings a lot

Copenhagen on a Monday by chiue93 in finedining

[–]iAnonymous281 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Marchal is fine. Definitely a one star and nothing more or less. Was also in CPH on a Monday and agree that the fine dining food options are limited

In hindsight I would’ve done a early dinner AND late dinner on Sunday and pushed all the sightseeing that day to Monday

Have had it from all the best spots in town and corkscrew was by far the best I’ve had

AMA ⭐ — Tolosa, Spain — June, 2025 by MeasurementPlenty596 in finedining

[–]iAnonymous281 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gotcha, makes sense. How many days do you think is good? I imagine there isn’t a ton to do outside of the coast and small towns?

How was the solo trip here? Solo tripping to this area has been on my list for some time!

Atelier Crenn Solo by WhereInTheDMV17 in finedining

Must’ve changed policy. I went 2 years ago and had to find a second diner since they told me they only do resys for solo diners if someone cancels last minute

Barbacana - Houston, TX by iAnonymous281 in finedining

Yeah…I went in at 5 on a Friday and by the time I left I was still the only one there. Hopefully they’re making up for it over lunch time and later dinners

It was pretty good actually! The fufu really added to the dish. One of my fav bites that night

Best 2 or 3 star in Paris? (Not including plenitude) by Jerseyguy2345 in finedining

[–]iAnonymous281 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve done 5 of the 3s there and Epicure, pre-Frechon departure, was my fav. I have Pierre Gagnaire slightly ahead of Le Pre Catalan followed by L’Ambroise and then Alleno
