Jamin Glenn reviewed French Cooking School
I am an amateur culinary enthusiast and finally decided to take a more formal culinary course to hone my skills. I also wanted to get some advice from a real chef, so this was my first foray into the world of culinary institutions and I wasn't really sure what to expect. I couldn't be more pleased with my decision with Poul's French Dining School in Brittany. First off, Poul is an extremely good chef, amazing teacher and is filled with a wealth of knowledge of all things food and the restaurant business in general. Second, Poul and Niall are the most generous hosts and genuine people I have ever met. Conversation was never dull and my drink was never dry. Lastly, I would be hard pressed to find a more gorgeous home and kitchen. It has all the feel and authenticity you would expect from a 15th century home in the Bretagne countryside, yet with all the amenities of the 21st century. Whether you are a novice or experienced chef you will learn something here and have an amazing experience in the process, I can guarantee it. I'll certainly be coming back for more. Highly recommend A
Fabrizio reviewed KATANA Sushi
We were looking for a Sushi place that would not be the super upscale but not a fast food either. Katana Sushi proved to be he perfect place!
The decoration is sober, tasteful and warm. The touch of the Japanese culture is given by a few typical paintings and an extremely relaxing Japanese music that creates a really cozy atmosphere. The only hiccup in this aspect was the excessive light coming from the stylish wooden lamps (hence only the ****).
The food: we tried the Crab/avocado, spicy tuna, salmon/avocado. It was delicious and the food was served extremely quickly (still freshly made).
The selection of beers is small (2) but Asahi is of course present!
We will be back.
