This post is dedicated to my good friends Leigh, Walt and Heather. They always appreciate a great meal and are willing to go back again and again when we find somewhere we love! 13 of the places listed below we ate at together. And I am sure there will be a part 2 to this blog post as we continue to travel and eat around the world!
It is one thing to write a review after leaving a restaurant and to say how good it was. It is another to dream about it and talk about it years later. Here are my favorites from around the world. These are not in any particular order.
Ha Noi & Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam: Duongs for lamb and chocolate soufflé
Honolulu, Hawaii: Salad bar at Duke’s Canoe Club & Bravo’s
Sofia, Bulgaria: Pizza Palace
Washington DC: Old Ebbitt Grill, my favorites are their blue cheese bacon burger and their strawberry shortcake (seasonal)
Anchorage, Alaska: Anything at Moose’s Tooth, Humpy’s, or Snow Goose
Washington DC: Butternut risotto at Lavagna
Bucharest, Romania: Caru’ cu bere (everything we ate was great but we still talk about the traditional pastry like a donut with sour cream and jam)
Montevideo, Uruguay: Grilled lamb and peppers at Brasilo Café
Puerto Madryn, Patagonia Argentina: Lamb at La Estel
Sarajevo, Bosnia: Dveri (especially the bread)
Ljubljana, Slovenia: Breakfast at the Sloan Hotel
Krakow, Poland: Amazing potato pancakes from a street vendor (on the left side from the main square as you head toward the castle of the street of either Rynek Glowny or Stolarsky)
Siem Riep, Cambodia: Ribs at Marum
Maokong (Taipei), Taiwan: Yao Yue Tea Restaurant
Montreal, Canada: Waffles at Cora (it’s a chain)
Tokyo Japan: Ninnikuya (Garlic restaurant)
Hong Kong: Weekend Buffet at Bombay Dreams
Las Vegas, Nevada: China Tang
Buenos Aries, Argentina: Pizzeria Guerin
The following places are also on the list, but less helpful because I can’t provide enough details. But I would have to include them if we were chatting over a cup of coffee and I will definitely hunt for them next time I am there…
Lake Ohrid, Macedonia: Wonderful place down by the lake
Rome, Italy: An amazing small place that only sat less than a dozen somewhere near the Jewish Synagogue
Boca Chica, Dominican Republic: Amazing cheese risotto
Marrakesh, Morocco: Amazing veal piccata at Le Jardin or Table de la Medina (I can’t be sure which but I don’t eat veal or much red meat anymore, but I will make an exception and hunt this place down next time I am back in Marrakesh)
Sorry I don’t have more photos. I don’t really take pictures of my food. But I do dream about it!
