ZEPHYR COVE RESTAURANT
Read moreA stone's throw from a beautiful but often crowded beach in the summer, the establishment offers all-day dining in a rustic, mountainous atmosphere with logs and wooden floors (if you'd forgotten that Lake Tahoe is a - very large - mountain lake at almost 2,000 meters above sea level, the reminder is ever-present). The service is quick and attentive, however. The food is hearty and of good quality, with mostly American specialties on the menu. A good place to take a long break.

Sitting in the pretty courtyard for the evening session, you'll enjoy fine food while sneaking glimpses of auteur films (Fellini, for example) projected on the large raw concrete wall. If you choose to stop by before dark, you'll enjoy the room's concrete and fireplace decor, very post-industrial chic.

From a simple street stand, Tacolicious has become one of the most respected names in the Bay Area, with three restaurants in SF and one in Palo Alto. Its success is guaranteed by a simple but original menu, and a brunch that is always besieged by lovers of huevos divorciados.

Read moreThis building, saved in extremis in 1979, houses a pub that serves a rustic and delicious cuisine. On the ground floor, the pub, which seems to be straight out of a Charles Dickens novel, with its glossy bar and old stone fireplace. Upstairs is a more classic and chic dining room for evening meals. The barman has an excellent reputation, just look at the crowd that crowds the counter. Reservation recommended.
DOVE'S LUNCHEONETTE
Read moreWe love the atmosphere of a small restaurant with a retro look, with its long counter and metal stools. The jukebox at the bottom runs continuous 1960s hits unless the bartender chooses to play a vinyl on the turntable behind the bar. Dove's Luncheonette's cuisine, opened in 2014, is inspired by soul food from the southern United States but with Mexican accents. Every day of the week, until 5pm, dishes are offered at attractive prices. Tuesday, for example, is burrito while Thursday is burger!
BROKEN ENGLISH TACO PUB
Read moreIt's hard to miss the fluorescent graffiti that covers the front of this Mexican taco restaurant. Once inside, the decor does not disappoint and goes hand in hand with the exterior.

They are all delicious and at affordable prices. There is a cocktail bar upstairs and an outdoor patio, perfect for the nice days.

The wine list is very complete, with Italian, French and American terroirs.

Read moreHere is one of the best tables d'hôtes in Massachusetts where you come to enjoy a unique gastronomic interlude. Chef Jason Bond has won numerous awards from various culinary critics. Growing up in a family of ranchers and foresters, Jason is close to nature and the seasons, and this is reflected in his cuisine. We love the warm atmosphere of the place, set up like a cottage. The chef prepares every dish from A to Z and, in order not to get bogged down in routine, the menu changes every day. The staff is smiling and friendly.

ROY’S
Read moreNew Hawaiian cuisine by celebrity chef Roy Yamaguchi, who has some 30 locations around the world! The one in Waikiki is his very first, and it's worth a visit for that reason alone. Roy's secret is the successful fusion of all the culinary influences of Hawaii's mixed population, from Asia to Polynesia. It's expensive, but it's top-notch Hawaiian cuisine. We recommend the Al fresco menu with starter, main course and dessert, even if it means adding a few side dishes to taste everything.
HELL’S KITCHEN
Read moreThis place is a real institution in Minneapolis, so it is best to book. We come here mostly for brunch, with music on the weekends. The menu is varied and the prices are affordable; we highly recommend the "caramel rolls", a fondant caramel pastry with pecans and cinnamon. Wild rice porridge is a must, a local specialty. On Sundays, we serve you brunch in your pajamas! The name Hell's Kitchen evokes the warmth of the stoves and the pressing atmosphere of the morning.

Here, classic Italian dishes are served, prepared to perfection. The tortellini in brodo, for example, is a resounding success: neither too salty nor too lightly salted, the meat broth is of rare finesse, highlighting the impeccable al dente cooking of the pasta. Also worth mentioning are the famous tagliatelle cacio e pepe, brilliantly executed.
STATION 66 ITALIAN BISTRO
Read moreThis Italian restaurant located in the center of Williams offers pizzas, bruschettas and pastas, very good by the way, but also a whole range of salads and sandwiches. The setting is pleasant and is in the atmosphere of Route 66. A success, with a false air of gas station for the outside terrace and an undeniable retro perfume for the dining room, in a modern and warm setting. Rooftop and patio in season... A delight!
BARCELONA WINE BAR
Read moreIn a setting halfway between the traditional and the industrial, Barcelona Wine offers a refined menu. A trendy restaurant, mainly frequented by locals because it is a little far from the tourist centre, it is worth the detour and is easy to get to. If they are à la carte, we recommend the squid cooked in their ink with cream of garlic, braised ribs with spiced butternut, or swordfish a la plancha. And for drinks, you will find your happiness in the wide selection of wines from all over the world and cocktails on offer.
PROXI
Read moreLocated right next to the Sepia, the Proxi is in fact the second opus of the Sepia's bosses. Frenchman Emmanuel Nony and his boss Andrew Zimmerman have struck again brilliantly. Since its opening at the end of 2017, it has not stopped filling up. The secret? An original cuisine that offers a world tour of street food but based on very good local produce with a nice touch of creativity, all in an elegant and cosy setting, with a rather pleasant industrial touch, good music and a trendy clientele. We ask for more!
RED’S EATS
Read moreThis small shack that sells lobster sandwiches, crab cakes and scallops is incredibly popular in the region. There is an interminable line to taste the lobster, which is excellent, it must be said, and very cheap. The owners even claim to serve the best lobster roll in the country. It is certainly delicious and above all very generous with a generous portion of lobster in each sandwich. So don't hesitate to make a stop on the road between Portland and Boothbay Harbor.

Scoma's serves generous portions of seafood and fish. One of the specialties is the Lazy Man's Cioppino, a kind of Italian-style bouillabaisse that has made the restaurant famous and will delight your taste buds.
NIGHT + MARKET SONG
Read moreThe general opinion of the Angelenos (and ours as well) is that Thai Town's Thai restaurants are frankly mediocre. That's probably why Night + Market Song, this small ultra trendy restaurant located on Sunset Boulevard run by Kris Yenbamroong, is a real hit. This young film graduate chef has no culinary training other than growing up in a family of Thai restaurateurs in L.A. The whimsical, colourful and trendy decoration is the ideal setting to uncork a Thai beer before an evening in the neighbourhood's bars! Surprisingly cheap, Night + Market Song offers an authentic cuisine, with sharp and fresh flavours. Try coconut rice, a sticky rice cooked in coconut milk, and, at lunch, Thai Boxing Chicken, a barbecue chicken traditionally served around Bangkok's boxing rings by street vendors.
TRIPLE GEORGE GRILL
Read moreTriple George is the casual grill for the chic residents of Las Vegas, and has been for decades; the black and white photos on the walls attest to this. In a nice authentic setting, you sit in a wooden booth or at the big circular bar to eat good pieces of meat. One of the best restaurants in Downtown, we recommend you come at lunchtime rather than in the evening: the prices are much more affordable and the menu offers more choices, among which is a large selection of appetizing burgers.

SONORATOWN
Read moreA more Mexican restaurant? Do you misunderstand! In this small shop there is a kitchen in northern Mexico, different from the rest of the country. The tortilla is made from flour (not maize) and is very fine, and there is also a certain resemblance to the French pancakes. The leaders of the Sonora region are also known to cook the country's best asada meat. It can be said that reputation is respected with meat cooked with a delicious wood fire. For a first one we recommend the very tempting Bean & Cheese Burrito. A superb address for a quick lunch in a family atmosphere.
TRATTORIA CONTADINA
