Thanks so much for all the input!!

Hello, any recommendations for a good indian dinner in London? Could be fancy or not, but good. Thanks.

Thanks. And what do you think of the smorgasbord dinner at the Grand Hotel?

have reservation at GR at Claridges, as the one at RHR is under renovation. Heard mixed reviews about Claridges. Should I still go, or do you have other suggestions? Thanks.

any recommendations in these cities? lunch and dinner, snacks,etc. and at all price levels. thanks.

Thanks for the input. Also, what would you recommend for a nice dinner. What do you think of Noma? Or do you have other suggestions? Thanks again!

will arrive into copenhagen airport at 8pm, probably won't get to hotel until after 9pm. Where is a good place not too far from the Square Hotel (near Tivoli) for a relaxing yet good dinner? Thanks.

Check out Cav Wine Bar ( this one has substantial food, and is pretty good) and Hotel Biron (small, European feel.) I like them both, though very different.

Thanks for all your recs. Can't wait to get there!!

Will be heading to Vienna, Durnstein, Hallstatt and Salzburg in about 10 days, staying 3-4 nights each. Any recs for good, local, authentic food? Or any place we should try? Thanks.

not sure what monjya-yaki is??

I've been to ume no hana last time, it was very good. Read somewhere Shunsenbo is also very good, any ideas? While we're at it, how about any recommendations for oden, ramen and izakaya? Thanks so much.

Leaving for Asia on Jan 1, will be in Tokyo on Jan 11. Have a few questions... - was told there's very traditional mochi store in Ginza, not packaged mochi, but fresh. last time I was there, couln't find it. Any ideas? - any good restaurant for Kobe beef? Tried Seryna. Is it a tourist place, or it's "the place" for Kobe beef? - any good tofu restaurant? - will be staying at Grand hyatt in roppongi hills. not exactly familiar with the area. what should I be looking for, or any must visits. food or otherwise? - any suggestions for good ramen, tempura and unagi? I know that's a lot of questions, thanks for your help.

hi guys, just got back from spain. food is definitely good there. i was in just a few cities for just a few days each, so i wasn't able to eat everywhere i wanted to. made it to can fabes the very night we got into spain. it was goood, very well executed. the sommelier recommended a very nice rioja (and got us into riojas for the rest of the trip, so much so that we bought some really nice ones home.) la alqueria in sevilla was good, but wasn't as refined and interesting, although dessert was excellent and service was better. la broche in madrid was very good, except for one meat course in the tasting menu that didn't seem to work, everything was very really good and interesting. service was the best anywhere i've seen, and they even offered to show us the kitchen. we also went to a few less formal restaurants and many, many tapa places. just about anywhere we went, food is generally very good, esp seafood, very tender and tasty. tasca hopping is definitely a lot of fun. sevilla seems to have the best coffee, and this little place in the old town of marbella has the best churro and hot chocolate. definitely want to go back again, just for the food, if nothing else...

Obviously we'd like to try the best , if there's a best, in each city. That would probably mean the highest caliber restaurant. We're going from Barcelona to Sevilla, to Marbella, and to Madrid. We plan on going to a really nice, good restaurant in each city, then do tapas for the other nights. We also like very local restaurants, whole-in-the-walls, which have good food. Do you have any specific restaurants in mind that you can recommend in these cities? I wish can fabes is open sunday night, but they're not. I'm afraid i might be a bit tired to fully enjoy, but then i wouldn't know when I'll come to Barcelona again... Is there another el bulli style restaurant in barcelona? Thanks.

we're coming in from san francisco, so it's a long flight. we wanted to go to el bulli, but of course that's not possible. so i thought can fabes will be the second choice, since the chef is from el bulli. we wanted to try a really good restaurant in each of our spain destination. we will go to la broche in madrid, la alqueria in sevilla. so i guess the question is, is there another restaurant in the same caliber as can fabes that is closer to city center. what about comerc 24, may be too late to get a reservation.

will arrive in Barcelone this sat at about 3pm, will stay 2 nights and leave monday morning. Have a reservation at El Raco Can Fabes on Sat night. Is it really worth driving there right off the plane, since they're not open Sunday? Any other recommendations? what about Sunday? Thinking of hitting a few really good tapa places, any suggestions? Thanks.
