Bodon, La Grande Brasserie, Amsterdam

Vic: “A relatively unknown hotspot, but if you like traditional French cuisine, you really have to go here. Be sure to try the red shrimp! The interior is also delicious: extravagant, with lots of marble, vintage and gold. A bit of a blend of the fifties, sixties and seventies.”

Milk Bar, Kiev, Ukraine

Vic: “The place for a healthy brunch or lunch, including homemade granola, quinoa soup, salads, special teas… And also very tasty desserts, including our favorite Tres Leches Milk Cake: a vanilla sponge soaked in three types of milk.”

Russki, Moscow, Russia

Lev: “This restaurant is located on 85e floor of Moscow City, the International Business Center, and is therefore the highest restaurant in Europe - the restaurant's slogan is #onlyliefdeishigher. From here you have the best view of Moscow. And the food is typically Russian.”

La Mamounia, Marrakech, Morocco

Vic: “A monument to Arab grandeur. Like you're in a fairytale One Thousand and One Nights located. A palace! Our last shoot together was there, but with a seven-month belly.”

Hotel Torre di Bellosguardo, Florence, Italy

Vic: “This is the hotel with the best view of Florence. The grandeur of the rooms (to call them a 'room' would be an insult) is unique in every respect.”
