Fantastic meat at JJ’s in Paris

There is one city in the world where you can enter almost any restaurant and be served a decent meal (according to me) – namely PARIS 🙂

Then there are of course different price levels, different styles of food, different levels of ”price-worthiness” etc etc, but most of the time you get a very good meal for the money spent!

It is impossible to list all the fantastic restaurants that I have been to, but recently when I was I Paris I jumped into JJ restaurant late on a Tuesday evening and got the last seats available and a very very nice meal!

First of all, it is NOT big – but you really get this genuine feeling of French bistro in the small but cosy and nicely furbished restaurant. It is also well situated, not far from the Champs-Elysées: 34 Rue de Penthièvre in the 8th arrondissement.

The choice of dishes is great, most of them written on a small wooden chalkboard (but there are also menus in English)… and the choice of wines also by the glass is great – and pairs really well with the food! We chose meat with fantastic blue cheese sauce and mashed potatoes, simple – straight – no fuss… but super good! We give JJ restaurant 94/100!

Tasty burgers in iconic Student city

Uppsala, situated 70 kilometers north of Stockholm, is a major University city with the oldest university in the Nordics founded in 1477. It is also the church centre of Sweden, and its old cathedral from the 15th century.

At Dragarbrunnsgatan, close to the train station, the burger restaurant Tugg is serving really fantastic burgers for all kind of taste preferences: smokey, chili,cheezy, chutney, classic and much more. The crunchy breads are a perfect match, as well as really crispy French fries.

Even though we were a big group we were served quickly, and in a very friendly manner. Easy to order at the table with smart phones as well.

To drink there is a wide choice of both sodas, beers, wines, bubbles, ciders and cocktails. At this specific occasion they also served a fantastic Shake called Semla – namned after the special bun with almond paste and whipped cream that Swedish people enjoy this time of the year 🙂

All in all, everyone was very satisfied and the prices were mid range and all the burgers and extras were well worth their price. We give it 90/100!

Jack’s Burger review

Just outside Näsbypark centrum, Täby, you find Jack’s Burger with really delicious burgers and a couple of decent white and red wines plus beer in the bar. When we visited there was an organic cava on the meny – a great bonus 🙂

The burgers are served in many styles, at good prices and if you are not super hungry there are awesome milkshakes on the meny as well as different styles of fries, salads and many side orders such as mozzarella sticks. It gets 79/100 points!
