ONE OF the best things about living in London is the food. We've recently been making our way around the Italian restaurants we've heard were good and Campania & Jones has been on the list for a while now. We've heard so much about the romantic ambiance...
OUR FIRST visit to Mc & Sons was actually by chance. We were walking out of Vauxhall station and passed the pub along the way, P thinking it was the one he’d been telling me about that serves Thai food...
So far in our Moving To series, we have covered beautiful towns in both Spain and France with Toledo and Versailles respectively. This week, we are taking a look at a town in Italy. It is not an exaggeration to say that the country is spoiled for choice when it comes to stunning places. From the rolling hills of Tuscany to the dramatic coastline of the Amalfi Coast, Italy offers an endless array of picturesque towns and cities that capture the country’s unique blend of history, culture, and natural beauty.
Last week, in our new series, Moving To, we looked at the charming town of Versailles, just outside of the French capital. This week, we are looking at another beautiful town, only a short distance from Spain's exciting capital, Madrid. Just 70 km south of the capital, Toledo is known as the "City of Three Cultures" due to its rich history of Muslim, Jewish, and Christian influence. Using the high-speed train, you can go from Toledo to Madrid in just over an half hour.
A COUPLE OF weeks ago, told you about a natural wine bar that opened in the old hi-fi shop on Haddington (near Leith Walk) a little over three years ago. We stopped in late one rainy Tuesday night a few weeks ago, after P told me at the hotel that he’d made reservations.
A FEW WEEKS ago, a past contributor at TIG asked for restuarant recommendations in London for her upcoming trip, and I had forgortten to mention Luca in Clerkenwell. Its tagline is "British seasonal ingredients through an Italian lens" and it is known for using high-quality ingredients from around the British Isles and Italy, including seasonal produce such as shrimps from Morecambe Bay, grouse from Yorkshire, langoustines from Scotland and cheeses from across the country ...
Thyme is a restored historic Southrop Manor Estate dating from Roman times in Gloucestershire, a county in South West England that comprises part of the Cotswold Hills, part of the valley of the River Severn, and the entire Forest of Dean
Reminiscing over the good things that have happened recently, and despite all the terrible news and the stress around the new normal, I wanted to share with you a dear place that stole my heart: Soorts-Hossegor. A commune in the Landes department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France ...
One of the perks of staying in Paris while everybody else is on holiday (besides, of course, having the city for yourself and enjoying a more calm rhythm) is that many of the places you have a hard time getting a reservation at may finally have some available tables. That is why I wanted to share with you a beautiful place where you could have the most amazing and timeless culinary experience.
There was something familiar and warm, freshness and cheerfulness, but also a lightness and harmony in the air in Saint-Tropez. Chic people walking around with raffia bags at the Sunday market, bougainvillea surrounding windows all over the city, pines and cypress, and the endless singing of cicadas ...
There aren’t many new places that I've discovered lately here in Paris, but there is one in particular place that I love and always go back to: Kodawari Ramen.
Winter days are here to stay. The city is ready for Christmas, gift shopping is an ongoing affair, we're all searching for more indoor activities to keep us busy since the temperature is close to 0°C everyday.
I probably should be the last person to should talk about Brach Hotel, as I only spent one hour in their restaurant for breakfast, but I think it’s more than enough to get a feel for the atmosphere and to absorb this chic Parisian experience.
We were in London a couple of weeks ago, as you know, to meet a friend and business associate from Spain. He was there, we would find out later, for the funeral of an old friend.
It’s been a while since I've tried something other than my favourite places, but this new place has already become much loved. The design is exquisite and the menu so delicious: the super chic and stylish Loulou was designed by Joseph Dirand, one of the most talented designers in Paris...
