A review of the restaurant Septime in Paris, France-one of our favorite restaurants in the world. Amazing food, perfect service, and a rustic yet refined setting.
On our most recent trip to Paris, Cate and I were lucky enough to snag reservations at four of the hottest restaurants in town: Chateaubriand, Septime, Frenchie, and 6 Paul Bert. All four were unique experiences and each is worthy of a visit while in Paris. But if we had to pick a favorite, it would be Septime. This was actually our second dinner at Septime – Cate and I went for the first time on our last trip to Paris and loved it so much we had to go back. And it was just as amazing as we remembered.

RedFarm – NYC
RedFarm on Hudson Street in New York City is a modern Chinese restaurant in a rustic yet hip setting. Delicious food and fun vibe.
So far on Friday Dinner Series we’ve covered a few of our favorite Asian spots in New York City: the James Beard nominated Uncle Boons (ahem, we discovered it first, Mr. Beard), Ippudo, Momofuku Noodle Bar, and Momofuku Ssam Bar. But what about Chinese? With the recent rise in popularity of more exotic Asian cuisines – ramen, Thai, Vietnamese, and of course sushi – Chinese food is often forgotten. I mean, there’s nothing trendy or different about Chinese food, right? You’ve got your General Tso’s, some egg rolls, a heaping helping of MSG, and if you’re feeling crazy, extra packets of duck sauce. But RedFarm has changed all of that and made Chinese food cool again thanks to incredible flavors and awesome twists on traditional dishes.

Minetta Tavern – Friday Dinner Series
Minetta Tavern in New York City is a great spot to have a celebratory dinner, sit for a drink at the bar, or grab one of the best burgers in the city.
Another Friday, another look at one of our favorite restaurants in New York. Minetta Tavern is located in Greenwich Village, a few blocks south of Washington Square. The restaurant dates back to the 1930s but it recently underwent a facelift when it was taken over by restauranteur Keith McNally. It maintains a good deal of old school charm – dim lighting, red leather booths, and a classic cocktail bar – and has a menu full of updated takes on traditional dishes. Minetta Tavern is perhaps most famous for their signature burger (and for good reason), but there’s plenty more to this restaurant….
