Berlin Brunch Series - Hofbräu München

I spent some time in Berlin and discovered some lovely places to eat. I had been warned before I travelled, that I shouldn't expect good food. I was happy to discover that the advise was not warranted. From quaint cafes, to large beer restaurants and incredible kebab joints - Berlin has a lot to offer. My next series of posts will reveal hotspots I found in Berlin.

Hofbräu München is a must visit if you are in Berlin. Prost!

Springtime in Cambridge

This post is going to be a little different to our usual posts. I'm going to take you along with me to Cambridge on a sunny Saturday.

Cambridge makes the perfect day trip if you live in London and you get that feeling where you just need to escape for a little while. Just hop on the tube up to King's Cross, then get on a train - 50 minutes later you'll be in beautiful Cambridge.

Marta's Kitchen

Last night I went to Marta's Kitchen in Desa Sri Hartamas for dinner.  I adore Spanish food and we were a group of five so tapas & paella seemed a logical choice.

We were also very, very hungry, having driven for over an hour to get there (that's a story for another day!) so we unashamedly ordered enough to feed a small army...

Hawksmoor

Even though my brother and I both live in London, we both have busy lives, and it can be difficult for us to see each other as much as we would like. We both love food, and one Sunday morning we decided to head over to Hawksmoor Covent Garden for a long Sunday lunch and catch-up.

The Grumpy Cyclist

Last Sunday I decided to go for breakfast at The Grumpy Cyclist in TTDI.

The first question I'm sure you are going to ask is - does it live up to its name?  Well, partly.  The cafe is certainly cycling-themed (bicycles and all sorts of biking gear line the walls) but the mood certainly is as far from grumpy as can be - friendly baristas and upbeat music make the whole experience very welcoming.

My dad went for the Gran Fondo, which is basically a big breakfast, whereas I chose the Crespella (chocolate chip pancakes with cream, strawberries and honey).

Spot the signed jersey!

Yauatcha by TVP

Hello foodies! My name is Reena and I am a food blogger from The Veggie Perspective. I was delighted when the lovely girls at fEastToWest invited me to share a guest blog post. As a fellow foodie, I am a big fan of fEastToWest and regularly visit the blog to see the latest restaurants the girls have been feasting at! I focus on the vegetarian side of things and I would like to share my recent experience at Yauatcha City.

Dishoom

I have wanted to try out Dishoom since it first landed in London. There are now a few outlets of this well-loved chain of Irani cafes which mimic those of Bombay. However, it is notoriously difficult to get a table. You can book for breakfast (the menu looks amazing!) and lunch, but not for dinner unless you're a big group. This means an inevitable queue. Having tried and failed to get into the Kings Cross branch on a Saturday evening, we tried the Covent Garden restaurant straight after work on a week day. Success! We still had to wait for 20 mins (at 6pm!) but we were given a hot chai in the queue, and then seated at the bar to wait for our tables.
