On a drive from Harrogate to my home village of Saltaire, we spotted Murgatroyds. Not that my dad and I needed an excuse to stop by for some fish and chips, but it seemed perfect to go to on this rainy summer’s day.

Orkide – Stockholm (Sodermalm)
Orkide is a great Thai restaurant in lively Sodermalm. As you enter, they have the bar area and then the dining area is on either side.
Spaghi Pizzeria Ristorante – Archway
Spaghi is a lovely local Italian restaurant. It is situated on the busy island opposite Archway station. But once inside the restaurant, the traffic can barely be heard.
54 – Farringdon
What stands out from our dining experience at 54 was the absolutely fantastic service that we experienced. It felt like the staff really went out of their way. It is not very often that you feel so welcome in a restaurant.
Mrs Morengo’s – Soho
Nestled in the heart of Soho is this lovely cake shop. Mrs Morengo’s is a small cafe made up of only a few white tables and pink cushioned high stools. There are quite a lot of cakes, some displayed in the window, others along the side shelf and the rest by the main counter.
La Tasca – St Christopher’s Place
The striking orange walls, bright colourful cushions and wall artefacts make La Tasca have a warm and rustic feel to it. Being at La Tasca would definitely brighten anybody’s day.
Esarn Kheaw – Shepherd’s Bush
Thai cuisine is one that I am very fond of and I can never resist a good Thai meal. Unfortunately, Esarn Kheaw was a huge disappointment. Apart from the friendly staff, we really did not enjoy our meal and time at Esarn Kheaw.
Pizzeria Topolino – Bol, Croatia
Pizzeria Topolino has the perfect seafront location. As you dine in the outdoor terrace of this restaurant, you have beautiful picture perfect views of the gorgeous coastline. A lot of time could easily be spent relaxing at this restaurant, enjoying the views.
Base – Hampstead
As soon as you enter Base, there is the counter fridge displaying lots of tempting food. Some of the food is inside the fridge and some is placed openly on the top. The food has a Mediterranean influence with dishes including roasted vegetables, couscous, quiches and salads.
