Sunday Brunch

We are going out for brunch today, not the one filled with endless lines of chaffing dishes filled with food – we are thinking something more simple, less filling but equally as delicious.  Sunday Brunch is more like Parisian Breakfast and no one does this better than the French themselves.  We are not sure which of the […]

Retrospect

A year has come and gone.  So far we have visited 11 countries and what seems like innumerable number  cities and perhaps even more restaurants and shops.  We walked what seems like hundreds of kilometres on old cobble stones, consumed pounds and pounds of gelato and drunk gallons of espresso and wine.  The blog has had over 22,000 […]

Bye Bye Italy

We had a wonderful stay at Agriturismo ai Casoni – honestly if we could we would stay there a few more days.  This truly is an amazing place, a mom and pop operation that prides itself on great service, amazing food and wonderful atmosphere.  Helped by their 3 kids, all off of whom work in the kitchen, […]

Treviso

Today is our last full  day in Italy so we are visiting Treviso.  This small city of about 80,000  people is actually quite famous. Treviso became a city in 89 BCE, the main road leading up to the Venetian defence walls is lined with spectacular villas on both sides of the road.  Because of its […]

Around Venice

Some 60,000 people live in  historical Venice, while Venice proper houses some 270,000 people.  Historical Venice is built on wooden piles which were driven into the seabed and unto which the foundations of the buildings were build on.  There are some 486 bridges in Venice we walked on 29 of them.  Everything here is different, […]

Equilibrium

Because it is Easter and a lot of places are closed, or rather not opened for dinner we have to plan our meals carefully.   We found a great place in the next town, which is about 2.5km away that is open for dinner on Sunday and Monday.  Everything on the menu is simply amazing […]

Retail Break

It is a very short drive from Ljubljana to Treviso through a beautiful and winding mountain highway. We are taking a short break for a bit of shopping and an espresso at Noventa di Piave Designer Outlet.  While we only stopped to get some shoes for the kids, Evelina once again made off like a […]

All About Food

Let’s face it – I think that by now, our need to travel is largely dictated by the fact that we don’t want to be recognized as “are those people eating again?”  That’s us, we travel and eat and eat and eat, but it is soooooo good, we simply can’t help ourselves. From this day […]

Ljubljana Old Town

After 11 months of being here and traveling rather extensively my wife said – finally a country I haven’t been to yet.  Slovenia has about 2 million people, 270,000 of which live in its capital – Ljubljana. It is a picturesque and beautiful little city with a lot to offer.  While Ljubljana does not have any […]

Stiftskeller St. Peter (803) – Salzburg, Austria

According to some sources, including the restaurant itself of course, the Siftskeller has been serving food since 803, making it the oldest restaurant in Europe. Not 1803 – that’s not a typo. Eight-oh-three. Although we can’t personally verify this data, we can certainly attest to the quality of food and service. We started with a […]

Sękacz

This then is a traditional Polish dessert.  It is only made in certain parts of Poland and it is now Boris’s favourite dessert.  A basic sękacz is made of 60 eggs, a lot of butter, milk and a bit of flour.  A large sękacz will be made of 80 or more eggs.  Once batter is […]

Zeller Bistro

As my wife said,  when you come to Budapest but don’t stop by Zeller Bistro, for dinner – you have wasted your trip here.  Zeller is a very small bistro on the Pest side of the city, family own and family run.  They also own a small farm and make their own wine and some […]

Evening Stroll

After a lovely dinner on the Prague Castle side of town, in the same restaurant we ate last year, we went for a stroll to walk off the 4 tonnes of food we consumed before heading home.  Let me see if I remember the meal.  Beef goulash soup in a bread bowl, fries, potato mushroom […]

French Trains

In short awesome. On our way back after a bit of wondering around Paris we settled in our comfy seats in the first class. This time we were served dinner which was: pasta salad with tomatoes, goat cheese and broad green beans. Grilled beef with rice and vegetable ratatouille. For dessert lemon tart. Wine, water, […]
