Any small houses along the champagner route that you recommend? I am there on a saturday, so they would have to be open on a weekend

Does anybody have any recommendations? Also looking for a lunch spot in or around reims (countryside might be nice)

Is it worth it?

Any recommendations with regards to a nice dinner spot for my wife and I? We are open to everything.

wine and roses? small wine bar that is quite good

I will be VERY nice. Je regarde pour une table pour quatre personne la Dimanche le 25 de Octobre... :)

what does a cocktail at the hemmingway bar cost?

perfect, sounds like Les Papilles is the way to go. Is it the kind of place that i should make a reservation at?

what is the process for reservations at L'Ami Louis? I have about 5 weeks notice.
Cheers!

a food temple! I am not as fussy about the room, but i would like great food

Looking for a good wine bar (with some food) I had three recommmended, but can only go to one....the big question is which one?

La Cremerie
Verre Vole
Les papilles

I am looking for lunch on a sunday in October. I would like the best experience possible and am not that concerned about price, more about quality.

Any suggestions?

WSET, to answer your question. but no matter, not interested in people's "witty" remarks. I was just trying to be clear so that people can answer my question of which "Jock" , "Delucacheesemonger", and "Souphie" have done a great job. Thank you for your help.

I am pretty versed in wine and have a sommelier designation. To be more specific, I was wondering if there were any places that pride themselves in a low or fixed mark-up on wine so that one can enjoy a nice bottle without doubling or tripling the price. There are quite a few places in NY that do cost plus $20 for instance.

Are there any must go to places for wine in Paris? Any restaurants with low mark ups and great wine lists? Any can't miss wine stores?

I am willing to travel and am not interested in anything near the center that would be mobbed with tourists. I am a good french speaker.

Has anybody heard any details on his new New York restaurant...his Toronto namesake was one of the best meals i have ever had...

Is there such a thing as fresh truffles at new years, or is the season well over?

Anybody been to Gordon Ramsay in New York Yet? If so, how is it?

I got my "yes" last week

how about...terrible and over priced. go for drinks--that is the only thing worth it

could be kuchen

I live in NY and used to live in toronto...i would say that you will find nothing that is Daniel/ducasse/perse Bernadin-like in toronto...what you can find is some extremely creative (SUSUR) and localy influenced more classic cuisine (Splendido)

I have not been to Perigee, but have heard good things. Having been to most of the "Zagat top 20" I would say that Susur and Splendido hold their own with Susur being the most artistic/creative place i have been to (not WD-50 creative, more Jean-Georges creative) It is art on a plate.

that said, from what i have heard Susur is getting a little less consistant as his star rises....but, 3 of my 4 meals there have been off the charts. with 2 of them being better than anything i have had over the last 3.5 years in manhattan.

FYI...if you are a wine geek, you might want to add OPUS to that list....food holds its own, but the wine list is off the charts.

where are "the best" cheesesteaks in Philly?

Are there any good offshoots of the Adria movement in Madrid? We are going to be there in a week and would like a great food experience for the saturday night.

are there any adria offshoots in madrid...looking for something a little different

thanks

overrated...too big and too corporate.

Stupendous...an off night is a great night anywhere else. Just make sure Susur is there and you are in for a treat. I think the off nights are heavily related to his being there

Any recommendations for Fes?
