Vinous Table: Grouse Club @ The Bull, Charlbury, UK
Vinous Table
, Sep 2025
This year’s edition of the annual Grouse Club saw the three musketeers relocate to the rolling hills of the Cotswolds. We headed to The Bull in the village of Charlbury, which first opened its doors in the 16th century. I wager that during its half-millennial existence, these walls had never witnessed such a bevy of fine claret.

Rowayton is one of the quaint, idyllic, seaside towns on the Connecticut coast that comes alive in the summer. Proprietor Kevin Conroy purchased his seafood market, once the oldest running Lobster Cooperative on the Long Island Sound, in 1978. He later acquired the adjoining restaurant in 1996 on the way to building a collection of shops and restaurants that offer a slice of coastal living.

Vinous Table: Uni Murakami, Hokkaido, Japan
Vinous Table, Japan
, Aug 2025
Uni Murakami typifies everything that makes dining in Japan a completely different experience from anywhere else. It dispenses with all the frills. The raison d’être is simply to offer seafood non plus ultra. The mantra is freshness, freshness, freshness. Prices are a fraction of what you would pay outside the country, and perhaps the only downside is that subsequent sashimi or sea urchin you encounter elsewhere will pale in comparison.
Vinous Table: Sens & Saveurs, Tokyo, Japan
Vinous Table, Japan
, Aug 2025
Sens & Saveurs has two main selling points: the very high standard of cooking and the stunning views of Tokyo. If you seek French cuisine delivered with Japanese perfectionism, Sens & Saveurs comes highly recommended.

Le Tout-Paris is one of the four restaurants inside the Cheval Blanc hotel. With its colorful decor and stunning views of the Seine, Eiffel Tower and other landmarks, Le Tout-Paris is an ideal spot for enjoying the best Paris has to offer in a refined setting. This recent dinner with my daughter was one of the highlights of the week we spent exploring the city’s many cultural and culinary delights. Le Tout-Paris is open from early in the morning until late at night, seven days a week, making it a very useful address for Vinous readers spending time in the City of Lights.
