Toro Dorado (Amsterdam)
When I visited the city for the first time, I didn't exactly expect to find the best steak I would ever eat during my visit. But after a wander around the city, you'll see that South American steakhouses are all over the place — there is no shortage of places to have a great steak. But if you order correctly, Toro Dorado is the best steakhouse in the city and for me, the best I’ve ever tried. Sure, the décor is a little cheesy, and when you compare the prices on the menu to the appearance of the restaurant, you might be a little disappointed. But once you taste the food, you'll know you made the right choice.
Funnily enough, though practically all of the steakhouses in Amsterdam, including Toro Dorado are South American, but what makes Toro Dorado special is the Japanese beef. If you've never tried Wagyu beef, you're in for a treat. Wagyu is one of the most exclusive kinds of beef in the world. Imported from Japan, every cut of Wagyu Kobe beef is marked with origin and qualitu and Toro Dorado only gets the best. If you want to try a Wagyu steak, get ready to pay an arm and a leg for it. 180 grams or 6 oz Wagyu tenderloin will run you 54 euros. A 200 gram rib eye or sirloin will cost you 55 euros. Even a simple rump steak is 45 euros. But these steaks are worth every cent.
In addition to wonderful, if expensive, steaks, Toro Dorado also has some wonderful starters, such as the langostinos a la cazuela, and desserts. Don't forget to ask for chimichurri with your steak— this sauce is to die for.
Moo Restaurant (Barcelona)
This was my first-ever visit to a Michelin-starred restaurant, and I was absolutely blown away. I had the seasonal tasting menu, and every dish was perfection itself, save for a bone chip in the chicken mousse, which I suppose is why Moo has one star and not more. There were wine pairings with every dish, service was attentive but not overbearing, and the total price for two of 145 euros, luncheon, was by no means excessive for the outstanding quality that was offered. I can recommend this restaurant wholeheartedly.
La Era (Lanzarote)
La Era is one of the essentials for anyone visiting Lanzarote and looking for more than the sea and sun. The surroundings are superb and provide a dining experience the likes of which you will not expect in the Canaries. I would suggest you try the assortment of introductory ‘sweet meats’ and then the steak cooked on hot salt, and finished to your satisfaction at the table. Alternately pork or fish dishes are also very good. A good selection of wines supplements the food. Do book a table.
Le Clarisse (Paris)
It’s a beautiful French restaurant perfectly situated between Les Invalides and the Eiffel Tower. The cuisine at Le Clarisse is of an exceptional standard with dishes such as quail with morels or pays d’Oc lamb with chickpeas, candied vegetables and garlic butter. We had a perfect romantic meal for two. It’s a fabulous place with a fabulous meal, we love this place.
Corral de la Morería (Madrid)
I recently attended a dinner and flamenco show at Corral de la Morería. Prior to that evening, I had no idea what to expect. Once I arrived, it seemed as though I were walking straight into the past. The tablao was small and cosy, which meant I could clearly see the stage no matter where I sat, and styled in the Arab influence that is also a part of flamenco. Once we sat down, my friend and I looked over the extensive menu. Most of the food offered was traditional Spanish food. I decided to go for the roasted vegetables, leg of lamb and sorbet. I was not disappointed! It was by far the best food I have tasted during my past month in Spain. Every bite was savoury and full of flavour. However, that was not the best part of the night. Once my sorbet was served, the room became dark and the guitar started. It was soon followed by the singers and flamenco dancers. It was impossible not to feel the passion and energy they put into the music and dance. The entire audience sat enraptured for the entire hour and a half show. It is something everyone should experience!
Trattoria Da Sebastiano (Haag)
Are there enough lines to describe perfection? The love of the cook for his profession is really profound. The beautiful presentation of the dish makes it a sin to start eating. The delicious and surprising tastes make for jubilation of the taste buds. The wheeled table on which the dishes are provided with their finishing touch with Parmesan cheese and slicer, and the olive oil on the table. These simple things make everything complete. The service is friendly and quick, at which Sebastian has a remarkable and cheerful appearance. The restaurant seems to be small, but that makes it very cosy and comfortable. It's really recommendable for everyone who allows himself or herself something extra.
Azafran Oasis (Málaga)
Marvellous food, beautiful surroundings, great people! What more can you ask for? I thoroughly recommend the experience.
Alberts Cabopino (Marbella)
We have recently come back from our holiday and we dined at Alberts. It has superb meals, great service, and a wonderful position. Prices are not cheap but the quality certainly makes it worth it. I highly recommend the prawn cocktail and the Thai crab salad.
Novelli's (Puerto Banus)
The hotel is great and the restaurant is fabulous. We chose the hotel to explore the main attractions and it proved one of our better decisions. We dined at the restaurant at the weekend and were pleasantly surprised by the whole experience. It is situated near a road and we were a little concerned about the noise, but this was not the case. There is a wall of water on the decked terrace area which drowns out any possible traffic noise. The lighting is perfect. The music was spot on as was the food, for which we can only say wow. Not only was it served with several smiles, but nothing was too much trouble for the staff. We could not fault any of it; taste and presentation both were fabulous. I can't wait to return.
Raphael Restaurant (Brussels / Bruxelles)
This is my favourite restaurant in the world and I hope to visit it again someday soon.
