A nice speak easy with a hairy entrance: Bobby’s Free (11. October 2023)
Given it was speak easy time, we decided to hit Bobby’s Free, which is a barber shop from the outside, and only if you know the password, you’re being let in (you can find the password of the day on their IG page). Once you’re inside, you’ll see that the place is rather crowded and […]
A speak easy, which has turned into a regular bar over the years: Bar Paradiso (11. October 2023)
It is a good seven years ago since I’ve last visited the Bar Paradiso and it has transferred from a proper speak easy to a ‘fake speak easy’, as there is a bouncer, a line, and you need to ‘sign-up’ via QR code for the whole experience. I mean, it kind of defies the purpose […]
Incredibly interesting cocktails in a walk-in bar: Mariposa Negra Cocktail Bar (11. October 2023)
The Mariposa Negra Cocktail Bar is a hidden gem, which is actually not so hidden. What I like about the place is that there is a no reservation policy – you basically go there and if you’re lucky you’ll score a place, and if you’re unlucky, you won’t. The place is a bit “dark” in […]
Another nice restaurant in the El Nacional area: Restaurant La Braseria @ El Nacional (11. October 2023)
The last time I was here was about three years ago, and by here I mean the El Nacional. There are a bunch of different restaurants, and this time I tried another one, the La Braseria. We decided to have something light and share a couple of plates, tapas style, for lunch. The first was […]
A unique seafood journey in the middle of nowhere with 2 Michelin stars: Restaurant BonAmb (16. September 2022)
I was stocked to go to the BonAmb (which stands for Bon Ambiente) as it was definitely a change of cuisine and one more Two Michelin Star restaurant to tick off my list. The evening starts very lovely with the first dishes by the entrance (but more about that in a second). The owner and […]
Perfect to rest after a round of golf: Restaurante Hoyo 19 @ La Sella Golf (16. September 2022)
After a round of golf, it feels just perfect to sit down and eat something a bit heavier than usually. I went for the “Mediterranean chickpea hummus with falafel, Lebanese bread, and crudités” (EUR 9.00) and the “crispy chicken goujons with fried potato wedges and served with a salad garnish” (EUR 9.50). Both was good. […]
Better than the name would suggest: Restaurant The Food Bar (14. September 2022)
The name of the restaurant isn’t really that appealing, since “The Food Bar” is really just kind of lame name. To be fair though, the place is quite nice since the interior design is lovely, and you get to sit outside if you want. It’s key though to book your table in advance, since it […]
Decent Asian dishes at the Spanish seaside: Restaurant Carnaval (14. September 2022)
Frankly, it’s maybe not the most natural thing to eat Asian in Spain, but somehow it was time to eat an everyone was starving, so we picked a place which offers good food, even if not very local. I still tried to get my local share of food. I went for the “edamame with chilli […]
