Clarences

Cheeseburger juiced up on flavour steroids. It is definitely one of those items they should never take off the menu at Clarences.

Laura's Ice Cream Shop

Birthdays are kind of a big deal to me. I love to make a fuss, write a card, ponder perfect present, more fuss, food, fuss yea yea you get it. I was sad to spend my birthday away from most of my favourite people . And when you have been friends since forever ... well some people just know you better than yourself. I arrived home from my travels to find this gorgeous invitation awaiting.

My amazing friend Brook put on what we call THE FUSS. An absolutely memorable day in the sunshine eating sweet treats with my dearest friends and little Harvey in the background being so damn cute.

Brook (aka my Pandy) you my dear are THE ultimate party planner (you can do my wedding). When we finally sort out her blog ... you will love her too. xx

Yalla Yalla (London)

We stumbled across Yalla Yalla by accident.  Nestled in a small laneway off Brewer Street,  Soho we found this friendly joint serving Lebanese and Middle Eastern cuisine.

Borough Markets (London)

Borough Markets blew my mind.  If only I went there more than once.

The Albion (Shoreditch, London)

Now this is how I imagine an English lunch to be. Scotch eggs, cauliflower cheese and PORK CRACKLE with apple dipping sauce. Oh yes. The Albion is a caff, bakery and a British delicattesen in the heart of Shoreditch.

Flat White (Soho, London)

Surprisingly finding good coffee in London is near impossible. After a little research by my friends Dave and Karina we found Milkbar's sister cafe Flat White. A teeny tiny cafe with amazing coffee and gorgeous food. Seriously Starbucks ... why would you.

Batala Market (Dubrovnik, Croatia)

I fell in love with the Batala Market in the heart of Dubronik.  It’s a teeny marketplace selling fruit, vegetables and beautiful jarred everything.  I returned to our apartment loaded with salts, truffles, honey, jams and a bounty of fresh fruit.  I think walking up hundreds of stairs each day made me want to be healthy.  Actually .. wait ... I ate a whole wheel of camembert.

Kamenice (Dubrovnik, Croatia)

Old Town is full of hits and misses and we had done our research to avoid the tourist traps.  Kamenice serves traditional and tremendously cheap seafood.

trdelník (Prague, Czech)

Trdelník is a traditional sweet pastry from the Czech Republic.  Made from rolled dough, wrapped around a stick, then grilled and topped with sugar and walnut mix.  Tasted like a flame grilled donut.

restaurant Mustek (Prague, Czech)

We were so tired by the time we actually started walking in the right direction that we didn't really find the best place to eat.  We tried to ordered the traditional dishes on the menu.

Duck thigh, pork shoulder, beef goulash, variety of dumplings, white and red cabbage Roast tench (fish) with caraway seeds

Fischers Fritz ~ two Michelin stars (Berlin, Germany)

Fischers Fritz holds the accolade of two Michelin stars for the fifth consecutive year.  The silver service was absolutely faultless and the degustation was beyond amazing.

EAT | DE KAS (Amsterdam, Holland)

Restaurant De Kas creates a daily menu based on the harvest from it's own nursery.  The whole experience was simply breathtaking.  You even get an apple from their own orchard when you bid farewell.

Restaurant Sazon (Mallorca, Spain)

This was the night of the double dinner.  Early tapas feast, lots of sangria, late dinner ... I vaguely remember us all eating copious amounts of pasta. BED.

Tucana (Mallorca, Spain)

The Girls/Giggles > The Food

I really want to be brown again.

Birthday Loving

Nothing melts the heart like birthday fuss. Beyond amazing to spend my birthday in London with both my sisters and one of my best friends who shares the same birthday as me.  Happy birthday Jadey!  It was also Flea's birthday two days before. So cute for the three of us to wake up to our own little princess party.  Ahhhhh sugar high.

Birthday Lunch

This is what I love about London ~ lunch and an art exhibition for £30.
