Shades of Pinks in Tallinn
‘Rustic charm in the old town of Tallinn, Estonia’ Last Saturday Mr. N and I took a day trip with his family to Tallinn to spend some quality time on the other side of the sea. We were extremely lucky with the beautiful weather, we arrived on the early ferry and spent the day…

Gone for lunch In St. Tropez
A jet-set favourite with a vibrant nightlife, St. Tropez still has a quaint beauty with an old school vibe to it despite its sexy image that it received back in the 50’s. The cobblestone streets align with restaurants and boutiques, but we spent most of our time lunching around the yacht-lined port. As we sip…

Idyllic Mougins
As I took my first steps into the less touristy town of Mougins, it was love at first sight. It portrays a richness, an elegance that is visible through its refined presence as a whole. It shows through the perfectly trimmed park bushes, attention to detail (street lamps, hand crafted facades, finishing touches) and restaurant…

Nautical Chic.
For our 7 year anniversary we decided to go back to restaurant Saari located on a cute island, since we had our first date there. It never seems to disappoint, the archipelago atmosphere is so special every time. (read more here about the restaurant) Once you are surrounded with the open sea, it gives you…

Lemon Anchovies & Pink Hues
Riomaggiore, Cinque Terre Da Piva had some appeal to it is tucked away from the central road in Vernazza on Via Carattino. The narrow paths surround with shades of watermelon and this tiny authentic crowded trattoria is situated in an ally that is easy to miss. Cinque terre carries high tourist traffic throughout the seasons,…

‘Italian Country Lunch’
Corte Mainolda, Mantova Italy “Unmanicured and full of flavour” is how I would describe the cuisine at Corte Mainolda that turned out to be one of my favourite lunches/dinners throughout our trip. This family run masseria in the Italian countryside is hidden in a wonderfully restored 17th century manner, set in the blissful rural…

Santa Margherita, Ligure
Santa Margherita, Italian Riviera As we stroll down the elongated promenade by the sea front that line with palm trees, the feeling is much like in Nice, as if you would be walking down promenade des anglais. The sence of sophistication seems to spill from Portofino to Santa margerita and why wouldn’t it, as they…

Fishing Village Thirasia
Authentic charm Just a boat ride away from the picture perfect Oia, is a rustic fishing village full of authentic charm. Thirasia itself does not have many habitants and far different from glamorous Santorini. The small quaint village calls for a swim in the clear waters and a walk up the 300 stairs to the…

Gone for Lobster lunch
‘Memorable experience in Sunset Taverna‘ One of our highlights in Santorini was the port restaurants at the foot of Oia. Built deep into the red volcanic rock against the cinematic turquoise waters of the Aegean Sea. To reach the port side you need to walk down the cobbled somewhat beaten path of 214 stairs, which…

Café de Paris, Monte Carlo
Lunch tip: Café de Paris Place du Casino, Monte-Carlo 98000, Monaco Perhaps a bit cliche? I think not. Right in the heart of Monte-Carlo, next to the casino is a brassiere that is full of life. It has a great balance of locals and tourists and really seems to be the buzzing place during lunch…
