The best restaurants of celebrities

You have people who book their travels based on the Michelin star restaurants they still want to check off. I'm not that kind of person. But eating at Robert De Niro's Nobu in Malibu or sleeping in a hotel founded by Charlie Chaplin... I do find that fun.

There are several celebs who have a restaurant because it's a good investment, but not all of them are equally good. The list I've compiled is. So go ahead and make a someday-I-want-to-eat-here list, because these are gems that make the trip there more than worth it.

Little Pine, Silver Lake
From whom? Moby
The restaurant looks like a better version of your own living room with personal photos of Moby hanging. The restaurant is non-profit (all the money goes to animal rights organizations) and completely vegan. It has been named vegetarian restaurant of the year and if you love cheese macaroni, you have to be here.

Tagine, Ryan Gosling

If one friend is a sommelier, the other a chef, and you have the attracting power of a neodymium magnet, then the sum is quickly made. The chef is Moroccan and channels the scents from his grandmother's kitchen with every new recipe. And when I say chocolate soup from Ryan Gosling, you too have turned into a melted version of yourself, right?

Rustic, Francis Ford Coppola

Let Francis slide. The Coppolas have a resort in Belize (a pilgrimage site for me because our daughter is named Belize) and in Southern Italy. He also has his own wine (which is always chilled in my fridge) and thus also two restaurants. Rustic is located just north of Santa Rosa in California, in a walled vineyard where you get Italian (you can take the Coppolas out of Italy, but you can't take Italy out of the...) food and wine served. The same menu can be found at Cafe Zoetrope in San Francisco.

Did you know that people with a high IQ prefer to drink wine? I'm just saying.

JBJ Soul Kitchen, Jon Bon Jovi

Weren't you in love with Jon Bon Jovi? You will be now. He has a non-profit community restaurant with his wife that, according to experts, serves out-of-this-world-good-food and you pay what you can afford. How. Sweet.

Nobu Malibu and Locanda Verde, Robert De Niro

De Niro started Nobu together with chef Nobu Matsuhisa and rolled out the most luxurious restaurant chain in the world. Nobu Malibu is a favorite because you feel like you're sitting in the sea while you eat. Locanda Verde is his restaurant in New York where you can enjoy delicious Italian food.
