It is a village with luxury homes as well as several luxury restaurants, including Heston Blumenthal’s “The Fat Duck” and “The Hinds Head”.

Art Priori – Where some things are more important than guests
Some time ago, I visited Tallinn. In this lovely little town, you will find some lots of restaurants, including Art Priori. As is the case in other cities, some restaurants are located in a hotel where others are….. well, not. The restaurant we will tell you about in this post is not located in a…
Ekstedt – A Michelin-starred ‘BBQ’
For fine dining, you may not think of a BBQ. However, in the centre of Stockholm, this is exactly what you can do: Fine dining whereby the meat and fish are cooked over a charcoal fire. Where this is? Ekstedt. After being greeted by a host(ess) at the door, your coat is taken and you…
Will 180degrees become the 1st three star restaurant in Eastern Europe?
About 30 minutes outside the old city of Tallinn in Estonia is where you will find 180degrees. This two Michelin star awarded restaurant is ran by Austrian chef Mathias Diether.

SENNS Restaurant – A restaurant with all the bells (and whistles)
On a recent trip to Salzburg, I had a chance to visit SENNS Restaurant. This restaurant holds two Michelin stars. Located outside the city centre, it isn’t an obvious choice for an evening out. A taxi is needed to get here, costing an additional EUR 50-75. The building is gorgeous though and is well worth…
Nathan’s in Antwerp – revisisted…
It was (quite) some time ago that we visited Nathan’s in Antwerp. Where at the time, in some ways it was great, in other ways it wasn’t. Well, there have been a couple of changes (for the better!) Having gone through corona lockdowns as we all have, the restaurant has taken this horrible period of…

Olivijn – A restaurant worth two stars
Visiting restaurants over the last years, means we have quite some material to compare one place to another. How and why the ratings, reviews and stars are awarded to a restaurant do (sometimes) puzzle us, as is the case with Restaurant Olivijn. Not intending to spoil the ‘fun’ in the first paragraph, we do wonder…
