Plénitude by Chef Arnaud Donckele at the Cheval Blanc Paris
“Firstly, I have to mention that the bread programme at Plénitude is outstanding. Aside from this, the best plate I had was the Langoustine. I was amazed by the complexity of the sauce making and the impeccable quality of everything!”
Hôtel Plaza Athénée
“I find that the bar at Hôtel Plaza Athénée always a great ambiance and perfect for people watching. It has a great cocktail programme and the Dom Perignon Champagne cabinet is impressive.”
London
Jamavar
“Javamar is a true high-quality, fine-dining experience in London. If you like Indian food, Jamavar is a must. Every dish is unique and tasty and leaves you craving for more.”
The Connaught Bar
“The Connaught Bar is a classic – the room is grand and tastefully decorated, and the cocktails are sensational. You feel like you are at a boutique hotel where servers pay attention to your every move and make you feel right at home.”

Gigi’s
“An elegant modern French Bistro. Even though Gigi’s is ‘California inspired’, they manage to have plenty of essential classics and a great dessert programme.”
Chateau Marmont Bar
“A true iconic Los Angeles hotel that somehow manages to stay relevant and cool. The bar at Chateau Marmont is beautiful with grand interiors and a gorgeous patio. Always great for people watching.”

The Champagne Bar at Four Seasons Surfside or Mila
“I love staying at the Four Seasons Hotel Surfside and find the bar elegant and soulful with its palm-fringed decor and superb beverage programme. However, if I venture out, Mila always has a great bar scene.”
