Bill’s in Victoria: A Review
Bill’s in Victoria is in an excellent location, with great views of Westminster Cathedral and the surrounding area. The decor is gorgeous- green velvets and soft leather seating, with the homely clutter that Bill’s is known for. My top tip would be to book in advance- I went on a Sunday lunchtime and it was very busy, so I can only imagine would it would be like on a Friday or Saturday evening. You can book easily through their website. What to eat? I had the chicken shawarma- it was really filling and made me feel like I was eating the rainbow! Simple but tasty. I liked the fact that…

Dutch food highlights: Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam
Welcome to the vibrant world of Dutch food and cuisine! Nestled in the heart of Europe, the Netherlands may not be the first country that comes to mind when thinking of gastronomic delights. However, this picturesque nation has much more to offer than just tulips and windmills.

I have written about the Netherlands before because I really loved the food. However, I think my recent visit to the Netherlands gives me ample opportunity to talk more about the culinary delights of the Netherlands.…

Mexican food in London Bridge at Santo Remedio
I’m a big fan of Mexican food. For a long time, I have named Santo Remedio as my favourite Mexican place for Mexican food in London.

And then I came across El Pastor and my favourite restaurant had some strong competition. I really wanted to go back to Santo Remedio and try it again. And then I got my chance- in January, we spent a few hours at Winter Lights in Canary Wharf (which is worth visiting if you ever get the chance to go), however the…

Barcelona: Eating at Restaurant El Clot and Taverna Del Bisbe
Happy New Year! Hope you’ve all had a lovely festive period of eating and drinking. It’s time to share some of my culinary recommendations from my trip to Barcelona last year. Lively Barcelona offers a broad affray of attractions that consistently appeal to tourists- Sagrada Familia, Park Guell and Camp Nou. In addition, the city boasts a diverse culinary culture which makes a visit there essential for any foodie. Here are two of the places I ate when I visited. We stayed outside of the city centre, which gave us the opportunity to see other neighbourhoods in Barcelona and experience the resident’s side of Barcelona. Restaurant El Clot This was…

Foodie round-up of 2023
Hope you’re all enjoying the festive season! Whilst I was tucking into the mince pies, I realised that there are quite a lot of places I ate at throughout 2023 that haven’t featured on this blog. Therefore, I thought the end the year was a good opportunity to do a round-up post and give a shout out to all those delightful dishes that I enjoyed. Hopefully, this post will give you a few ideas about places to dine if you’re ever nearby. The Recruiting Sergeant, Horstead, Norfolk So we came across this place because I saw it on Google Maps whilst looking for food. We didn’t know anything about it,…
