The Church

Always get back.Why?

For the fourth time in Dublin and something new, I discovered Church, not an ordinary church but a restaurant / cafe / bar Church, yes exactly as you've just read. Practical reuse of spaces that once was used for the religious purposes and today serves as a place for relaxation, eating, hanging out with friends. Very interesting and unusual. At first I was surprised but later, I admit, I liked it, especially when I realized that they serve my favorite cake, cheese cake!

Yummy!

 

I definitely recommend!

Mala Bašta - Sarajevo

entrance

Mala Bašta is the name of a restaurant in Sarajevo. For that restaurant I have nothing other to say then good. We had dinner there on the first evening our stay in this beautiful city. I don't want to recount our orders of food and beverages, the pictures will show what's not said, but certainly I can say that we enjoyed every moment we spent there starting from the aperitive, appetizers, dishes, excellent wine Žilavka, to desserts.

To get such a good, positive impression of the restaurant the most important is the excellent staff that works there: one which prepares meals (for prepared meals I have only words of praise, delicious, tasty, just you want more), as well as one that served in the restaurant (whenever we thought we needed anything, the waiter was there).
Highly recommend!

Ulixes restaurant - one of the best

 

According to recommendation of our friends who were in this restaurant before, my husband and I, with our other friends :), visited it when we were recently in Porec. I have to say that we spent a wonderful evening in a nice domestic ambience with a very very kind staff and, of course, the food was excellent (mostly see food).

Highly recommend!

Croccantino

Ah I'm lazy! Whole month passed from my return from Budapest and I should write something about this beautiful city but I just can't force myself to start. Well, here're few words in my defense. I'm constantly somewhere, last weekend I was on the peninsula Peljesac (near Dubrovnik), at the same time I'm am preparing a trip to London for Christmas, New Year in Prague ..... So it's not just laziness.
But here's one short review of a nice pastry shop in a small, very beautiful and well-known tourist place Orebic located on the sea side of the Peljesac peninsula.
Like everywhere on the Croatian coast tourist season is over. And so it is in Orebic, peace and quiet. I wanted to eat something sweet, and since everything was closed, I didn't hope to my wish come true.

And then we found opened pastry shop Croccantino.
The choice was not great as it probably would have been in the heart of the summer season, but I still chose a tasty cake that satisfied my desire for sweets.
I must admit I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of full service. So if your trip takes you to Orebic - visit Croccantino.

Szamoz Gourmet Palace

Entrance

A few pictures are not enough to conjure up experience of sweet delicacies that are offered at this restaurant. We accidentally discovered it and returned back for more each day, twice a day. Since we practically lived off sweets, this time we didn't try  the famous Hungarian goulash; "sweet sin" OMG who needs goulash.
The service and staff are excellent. Prices are very reasonable.
It was a hot summer weather even though it was October and we were sitting outside, but when I went to the rest room I saw the interior of the cafe, beautiful, clean, neat... really  gentlemanly.

                   I recommend!

Dolce Vita - Dubrovnik

Dolce Vita

Stradun

Nice, pleasant place where you can consume very yummy ice cream. Price of ice cream is very reasonable. Besides ice cream, you can order a banana split, pancakes with ice cream, jam or chocolate, it's your choice, fruit salad with ice cream and other various sweets. Coffee is also good, to be honest I don't know the exact price but I think it was about 10 kunas which is about 1,5 Euro.

Banana split

In the summer in this candy store there is often a long line of people waiting for a sweet bite. Worth of wait. This pastry shop is located in the historic part of town, within the city wall.

Bar Brasile - Rome

view from the bar on Pro Patria Monument

As opposed to previous restaurant, this bar was enjoyable experience. We used to come here every day during our stay in Rome. It's located on Piazza Venezia in front of a large Roman monument Pro Patria. After a long walk, and the summer heat made us very, very tired, we enjoyed a cold beer. A waiter was true Italian, dear, polite and always in a good mood. Super!
Ice cream is good. I recommend!

Nova Caffe - Vatican - Rome

on the right side of this beautiful street there is this awful Nova Caffe

Shame, shame, shame! This is the only meaningful word I can say about this restaurant. We ordered four pizzas, water and two beers.
1. We got water, three beers and four pizzas - first mistake, but ignore everything is OK one beer more or less :) let's go on.
2. Pizza Margharita - I don't know how to describe it, a little baked pastry covered with some cheese and some tomato sauce - poor.
3. This lunch cost us 88 euros, we gave 100 and get 10 back. The waiter kept 2 euro as a tip without our will. We always leave tips but this was inexcusable and rude.

I just wish I took a picture of it but I was so upset at that moment that the photographing had not occurred to me.

Avoid, avoid, avoid....!!!!

"Leib & Seele” Restaurant

Before I continue the story about Frankfurt, here's one recommendation.

During our stay in Frankfurt we ate at this restaurant every day. We were very pleased with the service and food. The portions are really big and tasty. Every day was a big crowd, I had the impression that the locals love this place. People were waiting in line for a table in the restaurant. I would recommend it!

Cafe Reichard

Entrance

Cafe Reichard is a place in Cologne, which you shouldn't miss. On the door I read that it was established, 1855 year. It is a a long tradition, and probably if it wasn't so good that it wouldn't have worked up to nowadays. The ambiance, atmosphere and cakes are perfect.
Visit the place!
