VINOTINTO – Valencia
We had a very short stay in Valencia but were determined to get some good food. We found Vino Tinto by passing by, at 3pm (yes in Valencia lunch is between 2 and 4 pm) it was packed even on a tuesday. The restaurant has very high ceilings with and a wonderful old wooden floor….
Takamaru, during the day fish trader, in the night great restaurant, Shinjuku, Tokyo
This is a new discovery of my last trip. Looking for a new restaurant to go with friends, I found out about Takamaru. The quality of the food is exceptional and prices are really good! The only small problem is that there is now english menu available (only 1 page translated by google…). How to…
Asou – My favourite Isakaya, Kabukicho, Tokyo
Asou (あそう) is a nice Isakaya located at the beginning of Kabukicho. About 150 m from the Prince hotel at the Shinjuku train station. We have been visiting this restaurant since may 2012 and it is a must at every trip to Tokyo. It is a typical japanese isakaya on three floors and different areas….

Lavinia – Madrid
Lavinia is actually a very good wine shop in calle Ortega y Gasset, but they have a restaurant inside the shop on the first floor. Very refined cuisine, the best is that you can choose any wine from the shop and you will pay only the tag price. This is a paradise for wine lovers…
Asador Donostiarra – Madrid
This is for me a fix stop at every Madrid stop. It is a restaurant specialised in Chuleton de Buey Basque style. It is not far from the Football Stadium Santiago Bernabeu. For this reason you will find a lot of pictures on the wall with Real Madrid soccer players and some other famous people….
Yakiniku
I love Yakiniku. Yakiniku means grilled meet in Japanese and originally Korean Barbecue was intended. Nowadays a “japanese ” version exists. Blackhole is my favourite place for Yakiniku in Tokyo ( http://www.iloveyakiniku.com ). As a starter you normally get cabbage salad with a nice dressing. Mostly beef is served, where you can have different cuts…
