Mike Hale New York Times 08/06/2018
While Mr. Bourdain can make just about anything entertaining, his real impact still depends on food - on the knowledge and emotion he brings to an encounter with a perfectly fried lobster or a board of fresh-cut charcuterie. Go to Full Review Sam Wollaston Guardian 08/06/2018
He eats the disgusting stuff, so you don't have to. He does so with plenty of good humour and wit, and you find out something about these places along the way. Go to Full Review Sean O'Neal AV Club 08/06/2018
B
[Bourdain's] laidback approach to both traveling and eating amounts to a cult of personality. Go to Full Review Lucy Maher Common Sense Media 08/06/2018
3/5
Outgoing and wry, Bourdain does a good job of keeping the energy up and introducing viewers to cultures they might not have been exposed to before. Go to Full Review Steve West CinemaBlend 08/06/2018
The man will eat anything at least once, and you can be sure he'll let the audience know how he feels. His sarcasm towards a local delicacy can often be harsh, and damnit I wouldn't want it any other way. Go to Full Review Alan Pergament Buffalo News 08/06/2018
3.5/5
All in all, "No Reservations" is a pretty cool reality series, even if "cool" and "reality series" often seem like a contradiction in terms. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
