My name is Alexander. I’m the co-owner of a ONE Michelin star restaurant, and I’m on a mission – to find inspiration in gastronomy. I love fine dining, good wine and sharing what I know with other people.

Asia is on fire!
Alexander finally convinced me. I bought my 1st bottle of Krug Champagne, a Grande Cuvée 170ième édition. Cost me a whopping CAD$413. Can’t wait to taste. Happy New Year !
My best one was MOTA in Odsherred Denmark. Cosy and full of local taste and flawor.
My top 10 for 2024 also includes Waldhotel Sonnora and Boury. I add to that list De Slagmolen, Colette De Vijvers, Alpenblick, The View, Hertog Jan @ Botanic, Chateau Neercanne, De Gebrande Wiinning (the best beer restaurant in the world withou a doubt) and i add a restaurant that doesn't have a star but I just loved it Parravicini in Tirano. Missed out on two toprestaurants in Baiersbronn because I was ill so they would have made the list to. Thanks for your fantastic videos!
Wishing you a Happy New Year 2025 @alexandertheguest and team
My Top 5 (2024):
McDonald
Burger King
Jack in the Box
Carl's Jr
Taco Bell
Many thanks for all the work you have put in. I always look forward to your visits. We have tried a number of the resturants and your views are spot on. Hope one day you can visit Australia, we do have a few good resturants and wonderful wines. Happy New Year.
love it……..
L' Evo ** (Toyama Prefecture, Japan) – Remote, memorable, magic.
Central (Lima, Peru) – Delivers.
Piazzetta Milu' ** (Castellamare di Stabia, Italy) – The future of Italian cuisine.
Kresios ** (Telese Terme, Italy) – Remote, and worth the trip.
Herve' * (Athens, Greece) – Joy in the plate and in the service.
ION Harbour ** (Valletta, Malta) – Mediterranean Rogan.
Culler de Pau ** (O Grove, Spain) – Incredible view, incredible menu.
Kashiwaya * (Osaka, Japan) – Sublime intro to Japan.
Delta ** (Athens, Greece) – Above all expectations.
L'acciuga * (Perugia, Italy) – Pure generosity. Insane value.
sitting on a Chick fil a drive through was up there in my 2024….
I have to say Alexanders eyewear wardrobe is nice
Super list, glad you mentioned Boury, totally agreed and you can stay there as well if the drive is too far.
Alexander! Happy new Year 🎊
I hope you try vespertine, Culver city, near Santa Monica, California. I think you will love it.
No French Laundry!?! Why Alexander, why!?!
While this will sound like sucking up – 42 was my highlight this year. I am still telling people about the Duck liver in its won fat 👌
hey Alexander! I've been with you since the beginning and I've watched literally all your videos! happy to say that following your journey and your channel is something I will bring with me to 2025.
Thanks to Alexander, I tried Krug for the New Year dinner, and it is truly amazing. Very special and unique flavour for champagne.
Beautiful vidéo like always, it's l'assiette "champenoise"
Shawarma in Copenhagen would be my top pick.
Still waiting for The Librije..
That restaurant is exceptional
The real question is, how many of these places did you actually go to
No spanish restaurant 😮
He looks so relaxed and happy in the footage from Zen, how heartwarming.
Happy new year man
Keep on the good show
Wow! Really looking forward to the RE-NAA video!
I absolutely love your videos! It would be nice to mention where they are located in case we plan to visit the regions soon ❤
LANG CLOM….. hahhhaa L enclume. please use google sounds.
Please make a video on Thevar in Singapore – 2 star; and Den in Tokyo. Thevar was truly one of the best meals of my life – such incredible and innovative Indian fusion. Another point that resonated from your video was about atmosphere and feeling welcomed at a restaurant – this was Den – have never felt to included in a restaurant before, absolutely amazing atmosphere + the food is obviously great.
Ekstedts, both in Sweden and in London.
You asked, so here goes. My top gastronomical (or, as the the French say, wee grastronomie) experiences of 2024:
1. In-n-out (Arguably better than every restaurant on your list, Alex.) (3-by-3 no onion, chopped chilis; animal fries; double-double no onion, pickle. Wine pairing: Zin or red blend.)
2. Chipotle (Famous "leg-day special": white rice, black beans, double barbacoa, mild, cheese, lettuce, tortilla on the side. No wine paring, just pure bulking gains.)
3. Yard House (Chicken wings and beer.) (The most gourmet entry to make it on this year's list.)
4. Del taco (chicken tacos, famous cheeseburger: "The Double Del." Yes, its a cheeseburger from a Mexican fast food restaurant, both revolutionary and bold.)
5. Domino's (Pretty self explanatory.)
How this dude doesn't have over a million subs is criminal.
Where is Burger King and KFC?
You should try Cuchara in Belgium this year. My favorite and certainly as good as t’Zilte. 👌
Best food restaurant moment in 2024 was probably the amazing fish restaurant Krogs in CPH, for the sheer creativity and quality of the all fish menu.
Best overall restaurant moment was Soelleroed Kro, also Denmark, with a 7-course splendid dinner with wines in larger formats, the stars being Palmer 1989 (Jero) and Yquem 2015 (DBMG).
Best wines in 2024 were Yquem 2015, Tertre Roteboef 2015, Vega Sicilia 1970, Gran Enemigo Gualtallery 2013 and less stellar but for experience and still amazing, Petrus 1970.
Krugs tasted in 2024 – GCV 170, 169 and maybe a 171 (else the 171 was Nov 2023)
My Top 10 for 2024 will be easy: I took my daughter at Pierre Gagnaire's restaurant for her 30th Birthday. Second place must be a pizza joint.
Thanks for your videos. They are amazing.
Please go to Vyn
I would love to see you rate a Waffle House or Dennys.
I saw Sezan in Tokyo had an event with Krug a few months back and was shocked you didn't smash through the window the moment it was announced.
Brut 172 in the South of the Netherlands! Best Restaurant in 2024 said by Lekker! Chef Hans van Wolde is a Legend! Book a table there Alexander!!!
Not alquemist?
I like to go there.
But $730
Is it worth?
Because last time I went to central and I didn't like it,
Best for me for the moment is….
Disfrutar
Geranium
Osteria francescana
The worst
Central
Eleven Madison Park
Hisa Franko
