There is something about the last days of summer that we all love. That last of the summer feeling, on roof top bar, drinking cider and basking in the sunshine. We were experiencing an Indian summer back in 2017 and loving it. We decided to play tourists for the day (as one does) and ended up in John Lewis, Oxford street.

Tapisco happened a day after we had visited Local. What an adventure that was –the food was just fabulous. Anyway, it was a sunny afternoon in Lisbon, after being tourists for the day, we were hungry.

Having a meal at Rabbit was the best way to end a good day. We had spent majority of the afternoon in the Saatchi gallery to see ‘beyond the road’ exhibition and it was so dope – immersion of sound, light and space.

Dehesa! where the food is inspired by Spanish and Italian cuisine meaning the food is going to be colourful, flavourful and wholesome. A place, where after sampling the starters, you know you must have a few more dishes because the food is that good!

Discovering Tapas Tia Rosa during my ‘unplanned’ long weekend in Amsterdam last June was a delight. I say unplanned because I really had no business being in Dam. Neal had a conference and I tagged along because why not?

Some of my friends still don’t understand why I spend hours eating a meal which they opine not to be filling very satisfying either.So, I decided that ever so often I would treat my sceptics to food adventure and here we are!

Our first visit to Boqueria was 3 years ago. Gosh, three years already! I still remember that Friday evening, Neal and I were not sure, no, let me rephrase that, I was not up for going out. Why? Well WINTER! Listen, I am from the tropics, I don’t do cold well lol.
