Restaurant Reviews

Since I eat out regularly, often in new restaurants, I thought it might be useful to have a separate section for my reviews. Not all, obviously, offer an amazing food and wine matching experience but if you're considering whether or not they're worth a visit I hope the feedback proves useful. Members can also consult the Great Places to Go section which includes recent reports on such iconic restaurants as Marc Veyrat, Alinea and Gault Millau's new Chef of the Year Jean-Luc Rabanel. There's also an interview with Alain Ducasse and a review of his new restaurant at The Dorchester.
