Trente30 is a cute little ice cream parlour and coffee shop located on Sheen Lane in Richmond, just up the road from the Mortlake train station. They offer a good range of smoothies, ice cream, milkshakes, hot drinks and pastries. The staff are very friendly. I really warmed to this cafe. The coffee and hot chocolates are great…

Chez Imogene Creperie – Paris (Oberkampf)
When we asked a local where we could go for good crepes, they told us about this place and said we wouldn’t be disappointed. How right they were.
Del’Aziz Cafe – Swiss Cottage Leisure Centre
A leisure centre is not the first place that would come to mind when thinking of a good Mediterranean bistro but this one is an exception. The large wooden tables and stools give it a rustic feel. You can sit either looking at the view outdoors or one of the window walls looks down onto…
Salamanca – Barcelona
A fantastic authentic Spanish restaurant with a great atmosphere and very friendly staff. All the walls are covered in photos of the owner with various people. We also had a man on a harmonium playing music to us while we waited for the food! We were sat upstairs and felt that we had our own…
La Pattaca – Paris (Grands Boulevards)

We ordered minestrone soup and tortellini alla panna. When I asked the waiter if the minestrone soup was vegetarian, he agreed…
Don’t Tell Titus – Saltaire
A newish bistro and restaurant located in the World Heritage Site of Saltaire village. It was a nice place with lots of comfy seats. We sat downstairs at the back of the bistro with our pots of tea. We felt quite relaxed as the bistro wasn’t busy when we were there in the afternoon. The wooden floors…
Cafe Beaubourg – Paris (Hotel de Ville)
This bistro doesn’t look all that from the outside but once you enter, it is a different story. It is very clean and the waiters dressed in black suits sets the tone for this bistro.
The Banana Tree Canteen – Angel
A great oriental restaurant to go for if you want good food and you want it quick. It has a similar feel to the Wagamama restaurants. I liked the open kitchen which formed part of the dining area and this restaurant had friendly staff.
Bread and Roses – Paris (Saint-Placide)
We stumbled across this bistro while wondering around the Jardin du Luxemburg area and what a find it was. They do the best pain aux raisins and pain au chocolat, very buttery and flaky pastry.
