Give me an opportunity to dress up and have “few” cocktails and I say yes. As you may know I went on a trip to Rome and together with my mum we wanted to make the most out of it.
I love girls night out and I love good food. I was visiting with my mum and wanted to hav the best time ever. When in Rome you must go and live your dreams in Le Jardin de Russie. I can say that this is so far my favourite spot in this historical gem. You may remember my previous lunch experience there and I am telling you that dinner and cocktails are even better. I could not pick a better spot for our amazing evening.
Kdyz mi da nekdo prilezitost se hezky oblect a dat si par koktejlu tak na odpoved nemusi dlouho cekat. Jak mozna vite, tak jsem byla na prodlouzenem vikendu v Rime a mym spolecnikem byla moje maminka. A jako spravne holky jsme si to chtely uzit.
Pokud se chystate do Rima tak musite navstivit Le Jardin de Russie. Misto, kde je neprekonatelna atmosfera i jidlo. Mozna si pamatujete muj predchozi post, kdyz jsem byla naposledy v Rime. Tentokrat jsem si to ale uzila jeste vice.
Two Sundays ago I went with my man to one of my favourite spots in Dulwich for brunch. Gail’s bakery is one place where I always love to go back. Sometimes when I go for brunch I dress up but most of the times I keep it easy and comfortable. So I put on some ripped jeans, polo neck, snake skin boots and headed to Dulwich village. I have spent endless Sunday mornings there either with a book on my own or in a good company. Especially now in the autumn this spot has got such a magic surrounded by leaves and as soon as you enter you smell all the fresh pastries and delicious bread.
I love to sit there with my coffee and just watch customers coming in and out…buying bread, croissants and cakes. However you can also sit down and have some healthy food and relax. One of the reasons why this place is so good is thanks to a big selection of healthy fresh juices, organic food, gluten free cakes and pastries and great coffee. When we visited Gail’s last time we went for smoked salmon with eggs, then bacon with eggs and also Shakshuka which is made of baked eggs, feta cheese and roasted pepper stew. It is one of the best brunch dishes I have ever tried.
You do not have to travel all the way to Dulwich as you can find more than 20 bakeries around including Notting Hill, South Kensington and more. If you want to get properly involved you can try to book their baking classes. You can try any of them but imagine how fabulous would be to go and do some festive baking before holidays. It must be such a fun afternoon.
Wherever you live if you pass this place give it a go as you will definitely fall in love.
Miluju chodit na brunche, ale to neni zadna novinka. Je to pro me doba, kdy mohu stravit kvalitni cas se svou druhou polovickou ci kamarady. Obcas se i rada hezky oblecu, ale vetsinou mi postaci dziny, sako a nejaka hezka kabelka. Mam v Londyne nekolik oblibenych mist, ale vetsinu vikendu travim ve svem okoli v jiznim Londyne. Jedna z mych oblibenych pekaren je Gail’s a ta zaroven slouzi jako kavarna.
Moje nejblizsi se nachazi v Dulwich village, kde strasne rada travim volne chvile bud sama s knizkou nebo v dobre spolecnosti. Miluju jenom tak sedet popijet kavu a sledovat zakazniky jak si v nedeli rano chodi koupit cerstvy chleba a pecivo. Jeden z duvodu proc mam tohle misto moc rada je nejen nadherne misto a atmosfera, ale take siroka nabidka bezlepkoveho peciva, dortu a velky vyber zdraveho jidla. Obvzlast ted na podzim je tam tak nadherne. Kolem kavarny je popadane listi a to pusobi opravdu magicky.
Pred dvema tydny jsem si zasla na vynikajici nedelni brunch a vyber byl opravdu veliky. Dala jsem si uzeneho lososa s vajickama a muj muz si dal toast s vajicky, slaninou a taky jsme chteli zkusit zapekany fetta syr s paprikama, vajickem a rajcaty. Dala jsem si take cerstvy zeleny dzus a jejich vybornou kavu. Gail’s take nabizi kurzy peceni. Muzete si zaplatit odpoledni kurz a vyzkouset si nejake jejich recepty na vyborne pecivo a bochniky chleba. Myslim, ze to by bylo krasne stravene odpoledne.
It would be fair to say that breakfast or brunch is my favourite meal of the day. So when the hotel Peninsula in Paris invited me to come along with my friends to enjoy their hospitality I said yes straight away.
Our Sunday morning started with style and luxury and it could not be any different in this place. Top class service, decoration and food so delicious that you will always want to come back. We all went for American breakfast that consists of fresh selection of juices, selection of yoghurts and tasty poached eggs with parma ham. And I cannot forget to mention those delicious pastries.
The hotel itself is so stunning that you are not sure where to look. I think this is what everybody is looking for when staying or eating in hotel….great service, good quality food and warm welcome. If you want a bit of luxury in life you definitely have to go there.
Myslim, ze nebudu lhat kdyz reknu, ze snidane a brunch je moje nejoblibenejsi jidlo dne. A tak kdyz me Parizsky hotel Peninsula pozval na velkou snidani tak jsem nevahala a rekla ano. A kdo by take odmitl hotel Peninsula? Misto kde se behem fashion weeku ubytovavaji modelky z Victoria Secret a take nejvetsi top blogerky. Od pratel jsem na toto misto slysela jenom samou chvalu a opravdu jsem se nemohla dockat.
V nedeli rano jsem s holkama vydala na snidani a mohla jsem jenom potvrdit vsechny predesle pozitivni recenze. Hotel Peninsula nabizi prvotridni servic, dech berouci interier a vyborne jidlo. Ja jsem se rozhodla si dat Americkou snidani. A soucasti tohoto menu jsou cerstve ovocne dzusy, vyber jogurtu a take vajicka s italskou sunkou. A nesmim zapomenout na vynikajici francouzske pecivo. Myslim, ze je toho az az a clovek zapasi s mnozstvim jidla. Hladu se nikdo obavat nemusi.
Pokud chcete zkusit trochu luxusu a budete v Parizi tak urcite se sem bezte najist a nebo hned ubytovat. Ja se do Peninsuly urcite vratim.
Cefalu offers numerous restaurants serving great local cuisine. I said it before however I always do a proper research and know where I will be eating. One of the places with good reviews was Ristorante Le Chat Noir that is very close to the main Cefalu square. It has got seating on a deck outside in the street and also inside in their lovely courtyard that is screaming Sicily. Traditional food and decorations and also very hard to get to get a table without reservation. We were lucky as we turned up very early and got a cosy table in the little courtyard.
We made a huge order…from local traditional mixed starters to pasta and steak. Everything was delicious. When I am in Italy I always go for pasta. I do not eat pasta as much in England so it is a great opportunity to try different recipes in Italy. I have noticed that one of the most common pastas was pasta alla norma and it is truly delicious. Something I will try to recreate at home.
Well, we had a lovely Sicilian evening with great atmosphere, wine and food. If you ever visit make sure you stop by.
Cefalu nabizi velke mnozstvi dobrych restauraci, ktere serviruji mistni kuchyni. Uz jsem to rikala drive, ale pokazde kdyz cestuju, tak si udelam radny pruzkum restauraci a predem vim, kam chci na jidlo.
Ristorante Le Chat Noir byla jedna z restauraci, ktera mela dobre recenze, ale brzo jsem pochopila, ze je nutne si udelat reservaci predem. Jeden vecer se nam ale podarilo dostat stul. Le Chat Noir ma posezeni venku na ulici a vevnitr na malem dvorku, ktery ma velmi tradicni deco. Vsude na vas dycha Sicilie a restaurace serviruje mistni pochoutky. Jako predkrm jsem vybrala mix ruznych mistnich tradicnich jidel a jako dalsi chody testoviny (jak jinak) a steak. Nesmela nam chybet ani oblibena bruschetta (te bych se ujedla). No na dovolene opravdu netroskarim.
Uzila jsem si nejen dobre jidlo, ale i velmi prijemnou atmosferu pod sirim nebem. Vecere jak ma byt.
