Moon and Pea
May the force be with you… I’ve found my new favourite cafe in Liverpool already. As soon as we arrived we grabbed an Independent Liverpool card, which gives you a free drink or percentage off your meal at local restaurants. There are no big chains involved, just small cafes that aren’t run by massive corporations. I love finding a hidden hot chocolate that can’t be beaten and Independent Liverpool makes it so easy! Moon and Pea was top of my list of places to try in Liverpool. I’d heard only exciting things about Lark Lane and it’s all true! This street has tons of cute places to grab a bite and this…

Abonim – Japanese and Korean Bar in Berlin
I guess some things don’t mix like you hope… We were invited by a Japanese friend for dinner at Abonim – she had been recommended it and we were all looking forward to trying it out. The place is rather cozy, but in a nice way. It’s big enough that you get to enjoy a corner for yourselves without being disturbed by the other guests and the food was great! We had a fabulous platter of sashimi – with scallop (my favourite) being the highlight. The dumplings were divine, the chicken delicious and generally everything tasted very fresh and of a high quality. We stayed till almost midnight, although it’s only open until…

Burger and Lobster Restaurant in London
Under the sea… This place is a gem! I planned to just lump all the food we ate in London into one long post, but seriously this place needs its own mention. Burger and Lobster is one of those delicious restaurants definitely not for vegetarians. My favourite thing about the place is that there are just three things on the menu: burger, lobster or lobster roll. Literally no traipsing through the menu trying to decide what to eat – although just choosing one of those three options was hard for me! I originally heard about this place from my colleague when I was working in London many years ago. He…

Cocoro Japanese Restaurant
Living on a prayer… You all know how obsessed I am about Japanese food, so I was surprised when a friend suggested we go to a place I’d not even heard of. Cocoro is next to our favourite kebab place Mustafa and the super-famous Currywurst 36. This street has a LOT of good food peeps! I had the chicken teriyaki don (chicken in teriyaki sauce on rice) and I have to say it was delicious. Everything tasted fresh and juicy – the rice was cooked to perfection too, which I find rare outside of Japan. The Genmai Tea was beautiful. Often it is said that because of the differences in the water…

Grand Café Breitenbach Tomasa
Coz ya gotta have faith… It was the middle of the week and Jason and I were just chilling, listening to our bellies rumbling. Too hungry to even go to the kitchen and make a slice of toast, we grabbed some money and headed to our second-closest restaurant. We’ve been here before with an AirBnB guest and they have a lovely roof terrace – perfect on a sunny day. The staff is friendly, the food is pretty normal and I guess it’s a little pricey for Berlin, but compared to London it’s proper cheap. I don’t really know what kind of food type they are going for, last time we…

Sabor Latino – best Peruvian in Berlin?
I’m just a little bit caught in the middle… A friend who also has the dream to go live in South America has been talking about going to this restaurant together for a while. She has a lot of Peruvian friends and Sabor Latino is their favourite place to eat. We were the only non-Spanish speaking people in the restaurant. It was buzzing with staff who knew all the customers and everyone was having a good time. It’s always a good sign when it’s full of Latinos who are obviously regulars here. We were recommended the Ceviche, which was by far the most delicious dish – a mix of seafood…
