There is a place called "Indian Raja" in Riga. Are posters getting them confused below? I haven't tried either but am thinking about going to the former.

The food is excellent, the business has been in the same family for generations and they remember clients when they return for a meal years after they have left Paris. The room is cramped and you need a sense of humour, as the waiters play practical jokes on patrons they know well - ask my daughter! Bon appetit!

I thought other folks would find it useful too & so I am keeping the thread alive. Mai Kai was a pleasant surprise; it’s a 15 minute walk from Bora Bora’s downtown, Vaitape off the beaten path a little but well worth the trek. The bread arrived and instantly I knew we were in for a treat. Its half biscuit, half bread roll with rosemary and parmesan flecks; we emptied the basket in 5 minutes! We started with a lentil salad with foie gras; a perfect way to start lunch on a hot, humid day. The foie gras was cooked perfectly; vanilla infused carmelization on the outside, buttery smooth on the inside and an occasional crunch of chunky sea salt. While the foie was absolutely the star of the show I would be doing a disservice if I didn’t impart how well it paired with the soft lentils, onions and lemon dressing. It really was that good. For the main course I had the ‘Poisson cru’ and again the chef surprised us by supplementing the tuna with parrot fish and paper thin slices of green chilies. The parrot fish added texture, the chilies added depth but showed restraint and it all came together into an almost perfect plate of food. One little niggle, the Poisson cru was slightly under seasoned. That said, we are looking forward to going back for dinner. Bloody Mary’s on the other hand was a study in highs and lows. It definitely feels like a tourist trap complete with the obligatory photo wall of random celebrities, gift shop and phallic “objects” in the men’s room. The salad was drenched in a ranch like dressing, the tuna kebabs were overcooked, the shrimp kebabs were raw and the famous calamari steak was over-breaded and so overcooked it was chewy. Then the mesquite mahi mahi arrived. It changed everything. The marinade was so masterful that the bold mesquite flavor was front and center but somehow it did not upstage the delicate flavor of the fish. It was grilled to perfection too. Moist, well-seasoned and real depth of flavor, the mahi mahi is easily one of the best pieces of fish I have ever had. Now if I can just forget everything else about the experience. Villa Mahana did not live up to the hype. Chef Damien Rinaldi had two tasting menu choices: Mediterranean and French. We should have picked the Mediterranean option as the other menu we could have tried anywhere in the world. My mistake. The “french” tasting menu included a sea food salad, foie gras with boiled potatoes, lobster risotto, filet mignon with gnocchi & a warm chocolate cake. The food was just OK; I like my risotto a little creamier (I have noticed many places are cooking their risotto a lot more al dente these days, is this a new trend?) The gnocchi was ‘heavy’ and neither of us were WOW’d. For $600+ (including two wine pairings) I wanted to be WOW’d. abizarvakharia Mon, 27 Feb 2012 18:57:55 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/360630#7177268 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/829971#7139303 Here you go: http://chowhound.chow.com/boards/53 Harters Fri, 10 Feb 2012 16:21:42 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/829971#7139303 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/390771#7090782 The online-shop for Frederic-Blondeel chocolate is: http://www.chocolateque.com Better prices than the other Belgian shops online and they are delicious! parenthetical Fri, 20 Jan 2012 19:32:39 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/390771#7090782 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/827654#7080560 I would skip the Austernkeller, as it is primarily french food in a city that does not produce oysters. Although your wife will have difficulty finding quality fish in Munich in the winter (in the summer, trout abound), with poultry she should have no difficulty at all (every Wirthaus will have duck). For other Wirthaus options, I suggest Weinbauer for their mustard breaded schnitzel or Georgenhof (Friedrichstrasse 1), which had a lovely locally farmed goose the last time I was there. The Spatenhaus at the Opera (which you mentioned) is my personal favorite weisswurst breakfast spot. jenabee Mon, 16 Jan 2012 21:22:00 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/827654#7080560 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/806010#6859537 Yum!

I'd love to go somewhere warm (without being stifling and humid) and beach-y and private... but not so private that my only food option is the resort or two beach shacks. I'd like a plethora of dining options, both hidden holes-in-the-wall with local grub as well as a few stellar fine dining spots. We're open to pretty much anything. I'm pretty adventurous when it comes to eating things, so sign me up! Good seafood would be awesome. Any suggestions on a location as well as a few suggestions on where to eat there?

One idea I had was to spend some time in one location to do cooking classes. I dont want to just learn recipes, but to take classes that master basic techniques. I know ICE in Manhattan has a great 5-day class for $600. My question is whether anyone knows of a similar cooking school that offers something like this for less? (And taught in English). I'm hoping to keep costs down by living somewhere where the dollar can stretch a bit so Europe is unfortunately out. I'm open to many international locations but it would be a nice plus if I could also brush up on on my Spanish or Mandarin skills. silverlainy Tue, 26 Jan 2010 18:20:38 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/683384#5352215 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/682283#5340503 We're changing the board breakdown for the Chowhound boards.

Just as a heads up, we traveled with the chew.hu suggestions and after doing some further research, that list might be somewhat outdated. Other reviews of many of those suggestions state that their experiences were not up to par to be considered the top. Budapest is a truly burgeoning city and there have been many wonderful additions to the dining options since that list was developed. We had amazing rec.'s from our concierge (this coming from someone who has not always felt, in the past, that concierges have the patrons best interest at heart).

We've never found the waitresses surly -- just business-like and not inclined to have time to chat -- in the 10+ years we've been going there. But yes, we were disappointed in the other food last year ... hence I was hoping it had gone back to its previous overall excellence. My husband does like the Nuremburger Bratwurstglockl, as I said, but not Spockmeier. Pata Negra -- I do like Spatenhaus am der Opera. I think it's one of the best Bavarian places we've been too, although it's been a few years. Unfortunately my husband prefers the bigger beer-hall atmosphere (or small, but beer-centric like Andechs am Dom).

There is a big emphasis on "farm-to-table" dining and the restaurant proprietors really seek out small producers of artesianal ingredients. In MItte Weinstein Weinschenke and WKD were both winners. Weinstein is a wine bar with great food. You can have just cheese and salumi or make a meal of hearty pasta or a meat dish. Everything is is sourced by the owner who knows his stuff when it comes to German wines too. Fun neighborhood crowd and not expensive. WKD is lunch only and serves the best wienerschnitzel I have ever had. Good wines and fantastic bread. Near Checkpoint Charlie is Sale e Tabacchi. Italian is my favorite (my life really) so I really had low expectations for a place next to one of the biggest tourist draws in Berlin- wrong. Some of the best pasta I have ever had. You must go. In Charlottenburg, go to Ottenthal. It has an Austrian menu, a elegant neighborhood crowd and is delicious. Tasting menu €25. KaDeWe is a food emporium that should be on your list for shopping and lunch. ETA Hoffman did not impress me very much. Some hi's and some low's. (should have gone to Cookie's Cream - bummer) Bandol was a fun spot. Wish they'd work on their boring wine list though. Enjoyed staying at the Adlon Kempenski. I have photos and more info on my website so check it out! http://www.morethanspaghetti.com/More_than_Spaghetti/Germany_Foodie_Travel/Entries/2009/8/27_Berlin.html MoreThanSpaghetti Sat, 26 Sep 2009 20:00:18 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/655124#5060295 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/654946#5058394 I'm landing at Zurich airport in two sundays at 7:30 p.m. I'll be heading out the next morning by train to Alsace, so I'll have just one dinner there. Any suggestions for a good, casual Italian place that will be open by the time I get there from the airport?

The father of a musician I was in Serbia to interview gave it to me. So many flavor spikes and then it just softly seeps into gums, mouth etc. mr mouther Thu, 24 Sep 2009 21:52:42 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/644988#5056124 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/652584#5052314 I am really glad you enjoyed it - this is my favorite restaurant in Prague and I want them to do well, because I want to be having dinner there for many years to come :-) sasicka Wed, 23 Sep 2009 17:15:15 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/652584#5052314 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/649761#5052068 too late for me... but I have found out about a cafe in Geneva that I would have liked to have visited- may be of value to someone looking at this thread Boreal Coffee Shop, rue du Stand, 60 website: borealcoffee.ch Captain Falkenberg Wed, 23 Sep 2009 16:05:12 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/649761#5052068 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/623950#5050544 Just visited and was advised by a local to go there...great I asked, one of the best orders of fries I have ever had.

You wouldn't recognize the organisation and tents. Yes, reservations are usually necessary if you would like a seat in a tent at night when it is most drunken. Yes, tickets can cost $ 250, but probably for a box and not just a place at a table. The place is jammed packed with Italians (who move their motorhomes there weeks beforehand), Australians and Brits. Their sole intention would seem to be just to get drunk. We locals look forward to the days after the Oktoberfest when there is no more puke in the local trains early in the morning on our way to work. Take a walk through the pedestrian zone for atmosphere and more comfortable drinking and eating. Enjoy your time there and get out to some of Germany's prettiest scenery, even without the non-existant peasants!

Henne was mentioned on our little 'private' thread re: your Berlin dinners. linguafood Tue, 15 Sep 2009 15:46:25 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/652258#5031262 http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/643560#5031117 Just got back (we also spent five days in Prague, which I'll report on elsewhere.) The last time I was in Berlin was New Year's weekend in 1975. Things have changed a bit. ;-) Our top food experiences were: Dinner at Renger-Patsch - crisp tender slices of octopus with white beans and chorizo, braised veal cheeks with artichokes, rabbit three ways (roasted legs, stuffed breast, and sauteed liver & kidneys), all superb. What a talented chef! Thank you so much for the rec. Dinner at Engelbecken. Great classic German food - assorted wursts, Wiener schnitzel, and the best potato salad I've ever tasted, made with lightly marinated thin-sliced cucumbers. I want the recipe. Seriously, if you know anywhere it might be published (in German is fine), please let me know. The food porn displays on the sixth floor of KaDeWe. Breakfasts at our hotel, Askanischer Hof on Ku'damm. Farm-fresh eggs with bright orange yolks, fine fresh fruits, and high quality wursts & cheeses, in a lovely old sitting room with 1920's furnishings. Biggest disappointment: Rogacki. The food displays were a delight, in a more down-home way than KaDeWe, but alas, our lunch there was not. Boring tiny shrimp (krabben) flavored with vinegar and not much else, and a fish soup that was a heaping bowl full of practically tasteless overcooked fish. If not for a bit of fresh dill on top it would have had no flavor at all. Maybe we ordered the wrong stuff? At any rate, on the whole we had a fantastic time and are eager to return. I could even see myself living there at some point, my rusty German started to come back quickly and the city has a great lively feel to it. If I can ever bring myself to give up Boston.

Yes, my husband and coworkers are there now. So far they have eaten at Tio Pepes (very good they said), De Compagnon—the French restaurant they love, and an Indonesian place (probably Cilubang since they've eaten there before). Still planned are De Kas and a Chinese place they liked. I will forward on your suggestions for the remaining three dinners plus lunches. Really appreciate it. aekbooth Fri, 11 Sep 2009 01:33:36 GMT http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/649135#5020844
