When one thinks of food in London, one thinks of fish ‘n’ chips. Well, at least I do. Pies, roasts, puddings and curries aside, it was the one thing I was looking forward to digging into. We had fish ‘n’ chips thrice during our stay, and the best of the three was the one we…

The Euro Diaries: The 10 Tastings of Copenhagen
This was our third tasting in Europe this year, and it was the third time that we started off with open-faced sandwiches. I was intrigued, and truly enjoying it, because there’s something enticing and fun (and messy) about open-faced sandwiches, particularly when they’re done up so attractively. Moreover, it was interesting to see how the…
The Euro Diaries: Lunch and Sweet Treats in Malmö
A day tour to Malmö from Copenhagen is well worth it. It’s an easy 40-minute commute by train via the Øresund Bridge, part of which is a tunnel that goes under the Øresund Strait between Denmark and Sweden. Malmö is a quaint, charming and calming coastal city in the south of Sweden with a lot…
The Euro Diaries: The 10 Tastings of Prague
They say the best way to get to know a city is through its food. This food tour was our first activity upon landing in Prague and it was, indeed, a fabulous introduction to the historical city. The first item on the tasting menu was chlebíček, a Czech open-faced sandwich. What made this memorable for…
The Euro Diaries: Currywurst, Potato Salad, Döner, Sossklopse, Brezel and Weisse Grün in Berlin
Currywurst Five out of five. That’s how many days we had currywurst during our stay in Berlin. One might think that we’d be tired of it by now but, truth be told, we were craving currywurst again a few days ago. It’s not something you tire of that easily. It’s essentially a pork sausage that…
The Euro Diaries: Pedrocchi Coffee, Pizza, Sfogliatine and Cannoli in Padua
Pedrocchi Coffee Our local guide Chiara introduced us to a rather unique cup of coffee at Padua’s oldest café, Pedrocchi. Having first opened its doors in 1831, the building has been designed in the shape of a piano – homage to the Paduan inventor of the pianoforte, Bartolomeo Cristofori. The interior has a rather imperial…
The Euro Diaries: Ristorante Antico Brolo in Padua
Located at: 22 Corso Milano, Padova, Italy Visited on: 29th April & 01st May, 2024 This isn’t a rated review, but an acknowledgement of a great find in Padova city. Tucked away under a neat white extended veranda by the road was a cozy and beautifully decorated little restaurant. The décor wasn’t just beautiful, it was…
The Euro Diaries: Cream Cake in Bled
Kavarna Park claims to serve the most authentic, “original” Bled cream cake, and we were keen to try it. They have a spacious terrace that overlooks the gorgeous Lake Bled which, on the day, was glistening in the sunlight. We enjoyed our cream cake in the warmth of the late afternoon sun. I feel like…
The Euro Diaries: Kranjska Klobasa in Ljubljana
Kranjska Klobasa, or Carniolan sausage, is a Slovenian specialty that is believed to have originated in the former territory of Carniola which used to comprise parts of modern-day Slovenia. The sausage is largely pork meat (about 75-80%), around 20% bacon, and usually only has salt (local sea salt, ideally), pepper and garlic added for flavour….
The Euro Diaries: The 10 Tastings of Zagreb
Zagreb is beautiful. An enchanting meeting point between classic and contemporary. Still very old, yet very new. Its people are warm and friendly, and its history deep and complex. There’s plenty to explore and experience there – including its cuisine. Our local guide Vlatka led us through a wonderful culinary tour in the city, introducing…
