This is my personal list I had visited almost every one of these restaurants, between 1999 and 2024. In earlier 2025 I visited South West Germany and Strasbourg, France. And, if I haven't, my family members have, this is how we came up with

this Best of the Best taste buds list.

 

We love to eat. We love good organic food. We love to cook too.  Here you have it.

 

Places we have been to and definitely recommend for you to attend. It is all about food quality, not interior design.

 

If you find the place that has been closed or out of business, kindly let me know, so I can update it.  I recently found out that The Houndstooth Pub I visited in March of 2022, had closed. Permanently. Sad. They had a great french onion soup  ... Thank you.

local brands. I had visited many of these markets between 2007 and 2019.

Products we definitely recommend for you to try. It is all about food quality.

​

MOST of the  times people come from the trips remembering ... toiletries they used, nice smelling shampoo and soaps, or, lotions and fragrance, and, ... chocolate & coffee with the wines they tried.

 

I decided to dedicate a page to exploring European based food brands, from chocolate and coffee brands to toiletries and incense.

 

They have much stricter health requirements for all food products, particularly when it comes to being organic and non-GMO.  Products we definitely recommend for you to try. It is all about food quality.

​

Most of the time for me I wanted to see there brands in the hotels I had visited as, toiletries or food supplies in the hotel rooms, or primary brand to be used for in-room services. Like instant coffee or tea by Cusa Tea & Coffee ®. I think this particular brand would be fantastic for in-flight instant coffee or tea for economy or other passengers, or, in the hotels, as  in-room instant drinks option.
