[France: Paris] OAD Best New Restaurant Dinner

The second event of the OAD weekend in Paris was the Best New Restaurant Dinner held at Maison Blanche with beautiful views of the city and the Eiffel Tower. As with last year, we got to try dishes from the following chefs who are competing for the Best New Restaurant Award:

- Terry Giacomello from Inkiostro in Parma, Italy

- Paco Morales from Noor in Cordoba, Spain

- Luigi Taglienti from Lume in Milan, Italy

- Enrico Bartolini from Ristorante Enrico Bartolini in Milan, Italy

- Nicholas Darnauguilhem from Neptune in Geneva, Switzerland

- Karlos Ponte from Taller in Copenhagen, Denmark

- Christophe Saintagne from Papillion in Paris, France

- Simon Rogan from Auslis at Fera in London, United Kingdom

- Jeffrey Cagnes from Maison Stohrer in Paris, France

I haven't tried any of these restaurants before and although the general consensus from my fellow dining companions was that the food was better last night at Lucas Carton, it was still interesting to try the dishes from these new restaurants where one of them will win the Best New Restaurant Award - stay tuned for the winners announcement!
