A quick trip to Dundee warranted a warm lunch to stave off the absolutely frigid temperatures. On a solo afternoon I opted for top-rated, “The Selkie, “ to discover whatever Scottish tapas were. A prix-set lunch brought a choice of two tapas and some very hearty bread to keep you warm. For the small plates…

Collonut- Barcelona
After a gin distillery tour an tasting (yikes!) we took a long stroll down the street back towards the city center vowing that we’d do a “tapas crawl” along the way. A plate at a handful of places and call it a dinner. Our first stop happened to be Collonut, seemingly a well-frequented locals spot…
KGB- Malaga
Everyone tells you to be sure to eat late in Spain so we went rogue one evening, with no dinner reservation, determined to just turn up somewhere around 21:00 – really not even so late, is it? The only place who seemed to have room for us was KGB and we were very glad they…
Can Carlitos- Formentera
During our stay at Montesol Experimental, we were a stone’s throw from the ferries to Formentera, so one blissfully hot afternoon we enjoyed the open wind on the water and set sail. Ok, it was more like a massive barge with some seats on top, but the many yachts surrounding us, it felt rather glamorous….
La Bodega- Ibiza
After a relocation to Ibiza Town, much more my style than the dodgy St. Anthony, we tested La Bodega for it’s well rated tapas. The place was BUZZING! Communal tables and high energy waitstaff (think cut off denim shorts and light up headpieces on the men) in an echo chamber of a space of oddities…
Tapas- St. Anthony, Ibiza
With the need for a pre-dance party fueling (because that’s what you do at 40, as it turns out), we headed to the best rated Tapas spot in Saint Anthony, the brilliantly named, Tapas. We set off for a long walk on a rather dark road and eventually found this beacon in the darkness. It…
Steinhalle- Bern
While you can find my musings on travel, food, hotel reviews, and recipe testing on this gorgeous blog, I don’t often leave feedback directly to establishments unless it’s particularly incredible or awful. In the case of Steinhalle Bern, I thanked the chef, waiter, and host directly, lauding the experience as my favorite meal in Switzerland…
Chaval
Well, I made it to the end of my culinary tour of Portland, Maine! I was stuffed! Well, after this last meal at Chaval, I was stuffed. Chaval came recommended from some friendly barkeeps at The Press Hotel as well as several a blog. I was happy to try something new, that wasn’t on every…
