La Cuchara de San Telmo
La Cuchara de San Telmo 31 de Agosto Kalea 28 20003 Donostia, Gipuzkoa Spain TripAdvisor Enough of the fine dining stuff. We finally got to hit up the pintxos bars in the San Sebastian’s old town. The whole area is totally walkable and great for a “pintxos crawl,” where you just hop from place to…
La Paradeta
La Paradeta Passatge de Simó 18 08025 Barcelona Spain TripAdvisor As much as people like to believe, I’m not actually a slave to the Michelin guide. I love all foods. The blog may skew towards fancier foods because 1) it photographs beautifully and 2) it just seems like something to write home about versus a…
Bar Cañete
Bar Cañete Carrer de la Unió 17 08001 Barcelona Spain TripAdvisor The night we wanted to come here for dinner, the restaurant had an unfortunate black out. A crowd of bewildered guests and stressed out looking employees surrounded the entrance. It was unclear if the electrical situation was going to be fixed anytime soon, so…
Cerveceria Catalana
Cerveceria Catalana Carrer de Mallorca 236 08008 Barcelona Spain TripAdvisor You’ll be hard pressed to find many good restaurants in Barcelona that are open before 12pm for lunch.

Espai Kru
Espai Kru Carrer de Lleida 7 08004 Barcelona Spain TripAdvisor Barcelona had no shortage of fine dining options. It was rather difficult narrowing down the selection to just a few.

Jean-Georges
Jean-Georges Trump International Hotel & Tower 1 Central Park West New York, NY 10023 Yelp People always talk about the fantastic value to be had with a “power lunch” at one of the many fine dining establishments in NYC.

Le Bernardin
Le Bernardin 155 W 51st St. New York, NY 10019 Yelp I always plan my vacations around food. I make reservations for the toughest spots first and then fill in the gaps with other restaurants or tourist attractions. For my recent NYC trip I put Eleven Madison Park and Sushi Nakazawa at the top. Le…
OoToro Sushi
OoToro Sushi 2222 Michelson Dr. Irvine, CA 92612 Yelp OoToro has been on my radar ever since its opening months ago, but the price point was a big deterrent.
