As we kept hearing that Portland was a food scene we wanted to find something different and found this Peruvian restaurant.

Omaniku in City of Industry

It was quite a trek from the westside of LA but it was worth the trip.

Felix Trattoria in Venice CA

A friend luckily got a late reservation, which apparently is so difficult to come by. So we had to give it a try.

Gucci Osteria by Massimo Bottura in Los Angeles

As a familiar friend was able to get a reservation for us, we had to go and try it out. We were very curious to go there as we heard very mixed reviews, some said it wasn’t good at all while other said it was amazing. So the adventure begins.

Birthday Dinner Le Petit Chef at Hyatt Regency in Mainz

I don’t remember where I had seen this but it was obviously something I wanted to try and understandable during the pandemic it was likely not going to happen. But as things have opened up, I had a thought to see if these dinners were still happening and lucky enough they were and had something available over my birthday weekend. So we booked a table without much hesitation.

Restaurant A.T Takeaway in Paris

Thankfully during a pandemic and strict curfew many restaurants are forced to offer takeaway or delivery options. Restaurant A.T has been on my list of places to try in Paris for awhile but it was always difficult to secure a reservation there. Upon looking at takeaway/delivery option I was surprised but also thrilled that they were offering takeaway.

Acetaia in München

Because of the pandemic it has been hard to eat out especially in the last few months due to the every changing regulations. However we decided to treat ourselves, head to the city and try a new restaurant.

Pierre Sang on Gambey in Paris

Last time in Paris was the first time trying a Pierre Sang restaurant and i really liked it. I like how they don’t tell you what is on the menu and ask you to guess what you had ate. Last time we ate at his restaurant in Oberkampf so this I wanted to try his other restaurant on Gambey.
