So good we came back twice. Fondue is perfect (share a single portion as a starter if you just want a taste). Papet vaudois was my favorite, with its smoky/sweet sausage and rich potato/leek mash.
Cheap and delicious mix of rice and noodle dishes, fast, friendly and efficient. The fresh herbal teas are great!
Can't imagine a better place to be in Porto. Lovely staff, fantastic breakfast and restaurant downstairs. Room 107 has the huge portico window giving you a unique panorama of the square below.
Cozy space in a repurposed old stationery store. Service a bit scattered, but food is delicious. Quail and mushroom risotto was fabulous, decadent and full of flavour. Worth checking out.
Seriously good burgers and hand-cut fries--an unexpected gem amid the usual mediocre food court options. Talho burger with chips patatas doces are tops!
Definitely the best food in Montserrat -- skip the school cafeteria experience by the train station and come for lovely Catalan cuisine. Set menus from around 27€ and wines from the region.
Great dinner buffet -- nice way to try lots of different Ethiopian dishes (and more).
Cute hotel full of charm and warm hospitality. Lovely rooms with a view of the mountains or the plaza, and a great breakfast with local ingredients in the cozy cellar. Perfect base for exploring.
Couldn't imagine a more perfect hilltop hideaway! Laura and Ollie are the most gracious, laid-back hosts who make you feel like guests at their home. Don't miss swimming in the waterfall!
Good pizza (the owner is Italian!), good coffee, warm and friendly service in a laid-back setting: what more could you ask for?
No need to go through just the main gate. If one of the back gates is locked during park hours, the guard posted there will open it for you. Relaxing place for a stroll!
Lovely grounds (keep an eye out for the resident giant tortoises!), friendly staff, and pretty decent food (madras beef and other Indian were great). Makes a great base for exploring Entebbe!
Real jetways, free wifi, through customs and out with luggage in less than 15 minutes...what's not to love! #thistooisafrica
Best brunch I've had in a long time--eggs Benedict and omelette are awesome, as is the coffee. Huge portions! Will definitely be back.
Yes it's stuffy, yes it's hot and yes it's crowded--and it's exactly how fado should be. A literal temple to the art form, just oozing with soul. Go see fado at a museum if you want your air con.
Lovely brand-new rooms with a contemporary decor in a quieter corner off busy Rua da Augusta in the heart of it all. Friendly staff and perfect location--would definitely come back!
An oasis amidst the sea of burnt coffee you've probably been having in Portugal. They take their coffee seriously and it shows.
Undoubtably the best place to stay in Sintra! Such a beautifully restored house with spacious and comfy rooms and run by such a warm family that is proud to showcase their home and city!
One of the best menus del día in Grácia, this is a spot I always come back to for no-frills but solidly good Catalan lunches.
Oozing with charm and authenticity, this was the perfect lunch spot after visiting Tomar. Sit and let grandma feed you whatever is special that day (probably bacalhau), and taste real Portugal.
Breathtaking monument to Portugal's unique history. Don't skip this because you think it's just another church--it's something special. Well explained with descriptions throughout.
Beautiful setting, beautiful food. Classic Portuguese cuisine upgraded with a fine dining twist and five-star presentation. So worth seeking out!
Lovely lobby and bar, next to the famous Tibidabo and awash with amazing views. Taxis downtown can run almost €30 though.
Lines for the bus going back to town can be horrendous when the park closes, so be mindful. Next door hotel will call you a taxi, but will cost around €30.
Leave time for shopping--Mango, Zara, Massimo Dutti, Desigual, etc all have shops here with same prices (and sales) as downtown--and are often even better stocked!
Unbeatable Tex-Mex! The nachos are a must (bring friends to share as they're huge) and quesadillas, tostadas and tacos are also amazing. Don't really care for the bready sopas, but <3 everything else!
