Resteraunts, bars and cafes I have visited
As mentioned in my previous post DC accompanied me to the Handmade in Yorkshire food market in Leeds last weekend. We had a lovely time browsing the stalls and eating. DC, who is from New Zealand, also got her first chance to watch a Punch and Judy show (strings of sausages and all). The weather was fantastic which made walking round the stalls a wonderful … Continue reading Handmade in Yorkshire
As mentioned previously, J and I visited Warsaw Poland earlier this month. We ate in some completely lovely restaurants including a more traditional Polish restaurant where we ended up eating on the first and last night, a communist themed restaurant and a sushi restaurant (we felt the need for something lighter one day). The food in general is really tasty, I particularly fell in love … Continue reading Warsaw – the Food
As mentioned in my previous posts I had my friends AW and RC to stay last weekend. At the time when they arrived at midday on Saturday, J was still at my house. So, having no bread in my house and 4 very hungry people to feed, I suggested a lunchtime visit to Jakes. Now Jakes is really near where I live and I have … Continue reading Jakes – Harrogate
So, as I think I mentioned it was my birthday on Monday. It was also a bank holiday and once again I applaud my parents for managing to have me at the beginning of May near to a bank holiday weekend. I mean, it is pretty amazing that I rarely ever had to go to school on my birthday. Anyway, my parents, J and I … Continue reading Birthday afternoon tea at Opus Reserve bar, Radisson Blu Edwardian, Manchester
So tonight my friends and I decided to have a casual meal out and a catch up after work. We actually do all work in the same place, but it gets busy and its nice to spend quality time together outside of work. My friend DC suggested Vivido as it has a decent early bird menu and she’d heard some good reviews. Inside Vivido is … Continue reading Vivido – Harrogate
Well I have had an absolutely lovely weekend this past weekend. It started with dinner (tea if you’re Northern) and wine at my friend’s Miss S’ house on Friday night, followed by a trip to the Cake and Bake Show in Manchester on Saturday and Sunday (I got tickets for both days from a lovely chap on eBay). J accompanied me to the Saturday and … Continue reading Mud Crab Cafe – Didsbury
So you know from a previous post that J and I had a weekend away at the end of January to celebrate our 5 years together. Well I have a second restaurant review for your entertainment and enjoyment. I didn’t review every restaurant we visited as it does get pretty wearing I think for friends, partners and family when you are taking pictures of their … Continue reading Edinburgh part 2 – Tigerlily (So I procrastinated a bit with this post)
I was lucky enough to have a weekend away in Edinburgh with J this weekend. I actually had the best time, good food and sightseeing is a pretty perfect way to spend a 5 year anniversary. Armed with several restaurant recommendations we actually chose our first restaurant due to its vicinity to our apartment (flurries of snow were coming down and it was too cold … Continue reading Mussel and Steak Bar Edinburgh
I paid a second visit to So! a few weeks ago when my friend Jo came to stay. Its fast becoming a favourite of mine as it has tasty food, a chilled out atmosphere, and its reasonably priced. I suggested So! as I knew the quality of food was good and there is a variety of dishes on the menu (naturally, when you want your … Continue reading Another trip to So!
One of my little cousins (well not so little as he’s now 21 and has been towering over me since he was 13) celebrated his 21st birthday this New Years Eve. As my family love to celebrate special occasions by eating lovely food my Aunt and Uncle organised a pre birthday meal after Christmas at Bar and Grill in Harrogate. (Apologies for the late blogging, … Continue reading Bar and Grill Harrogate – Private dining fun
