Following on from Eating in Spain – Barcelona – Part 2, this chapter focuses solely on La Boqueria or Mercat de la Boqueria. Barcelona’s busiest and biggest market. It was mid-afternoon when we arrived so it was packed full with a crowd. I found that it was difficult to stop and browse as there were […] Read more…
With all the new café openings to keep up with, it’s nice to go back to an established café. Two for Joy has been in Kingston’s Green Square for years, and is still going strong. I recently rediscovered it when trying to find a place for weekend breakfast within walking distance. The weekly changing breakfast […] Read more…
Note: We were invited as guests to dine in and try the 4-course tasting menu at Poachers Pantry. However, all opinions are my own. I hadn’t been back to Poachers Pantry out in Hall in years, so when I received an email inviting us to come try the Spring tasting menu, it was a definite […] Read more…
Following on from Eating in Spain – Barcelona – Part 1… Forn de Sant Jaume After a blissful morning discovering Casa Batllo (highly recommend booking the 8am private tour before it opens to the general public), we sauntered down to Forn de Sant Jaume (about a 2 minute walk from Casa Batllo) for breakfast. I […] Read more…
Les Bistronomes recently move from Braddon into the Campbell shops. There are secluded seating areas which can be made more private by drawing the curtains closed. The French bistro seems to fit in seamlessly into the space vacated by the Lanterne Rooms, simply requiring a few French paintings and decor. As there were 4 of […] Read more…
Wildflour is located in the middle of Fyshwick (taking over from what was Remy’s Bakery), an artisan bakery and cafe. It looks exactly the same though the display cabinet is a lot more appealing with a big range of cakes and tarts as well as hot pies. But it’s Wildflour’s croissant and doughnut stand that […] Read more…
In August 2019, Mr FPJ and I headed to Europe for an epic 6 week holiday. Barcelona was our first stop in Europe. I couldn’t wait for tapas and all the jamon. Our flight landed at 9.00pm so by the time we caught the metro to our hotel (in the Ciutat Vella district of Barcelona), […] Read more…
As I walk in the front door, I immediately notice the freshly made pasta available for purchase displayed behind glass at the front counter. Not knowing what to expect, my mood picks up and my expectations are raised. I’m greeted by the waiter (who I recognise from somewhere – probably another Italian dining establishment in […] Read more…
When I heard the news that Adelaide’s fine dining establishment and only 3-hatted restaurant Orana would be popping up in Sydney for a month, I created an alarm to alert me of when reservations would open. Orana serves a 22-course degustation for $350 per person. I was surprised that I was able to get a […] Read more…
In case you didn’t know, I’m overseas in Europe for the next few weeks. But check out my insta-stories on Instagram to see where I’m eating! Read more…
