Stars

You will notice that I donít use a star or rating system. This is for the simple reason that if a place is good enough to pass my quality tests it will be included, if not it wonít appear here. Some places might be more elegant, sophisticated or expensive but ñ as all true connoisseurs should be, I am only interested in quality.
