Tip of the week… Locanda del Marinaio Cefalu

You know I am a foodie. I love to explore new places. Well don’t get me wrong…most of the year I try to eat healthy and watch my weight however when I eat…then I eat. And that is what I do on holidays. I always do my research when I go travelling. I read restaurant reviews and there is always one spot I wanna try. Thanks to my research I found this place called Locanda del Marinaio in Cefalu, Sicily. Great small place off the main square serving mouth watering sea food and fish. Our evening started with few drinks at the local square with a gorgeous views on their Duomo (cathedral). I love soaking in the atmosphere, watching the (super tan) locals and of course I love their wine. I think it would be hard to find a bad wine here.
Then we headed to the restaurant (yes we were first as always…we are Europeans so we eat at 8 the latest…LOL). We decided to eat outside, nothing better than a warm evening, glass of wine and delicious food under the sky. I personally think I overdid it with the order however at that time it felt like I need to try as much as I can. I went for bruschetta, tuna carpaccio and risotto with shrimp. Tadhg went for some pasta and then the fish of the day. I mean look at the presentation of the food?! Everything was top class and so was the service.

I think this has not been my last time in this restaurant. I think this week will ruin all the hard work I put into getting that bikini body. LOL

Vite, ze miluju jidlo a take objevovani novych mist. Zase aby to spatne nevyznelo…behem tydne si vzdy hlidam, co jim. Je to takovy neustaly boj…hlidani vahy a pak zkouseni novych restauraci. Zivot je ale prece o balancovani, nebo snad ne? Kazdopadne vzdy pokud jedu na dovolenou, tak si udelam poradny pruzkum mistnich restauraci predem. A kdyz jsem se chystala na Sicili, tak jsem vedela, ze chci vyzkouset tohle mistecko v Cefalu. Tato restaurace serviruje hlavne plody more a je dokonce na seznamu doporucenych restauraci Michelin.
Navecer jsem se vydala se svou druhou polovickou do historickeho centra a zasly jsme si nejdrive na vyborne vino na mistni namesti u katedraly.
Po sedme jsme se vydaly do restaurace a byly jsme prvni…no zkratka Evropane, ze? Tohle se v nas nezapre, zatimco mistni vychazi na veceri v deset, my uz jsme davno po veceri.
Myslim, ze jsem to s objednavkou prehnala, ale chtela sem toho vyzkouset co nejvice. Dala jsem si klasickou Bruschettu, potom carpaccio z tunaka a na zaver rizoto s krevetama. Tadhg si dal rybu dne a nejake testoviny s krevetama. Vsechno bylo naprosto vynikajici a servis nemel chybu. Ja sice mluvim trosku Italsky, ale ne dostatecne a tak vzdy uvitam u obsluhy znalost anglictiny. Sicilie me zatim prijemne prekvapuje. A tuhle restauraci musim vsem doporucit. Myslim, ze sem tam nejedla na posledy.

Tip of the week…The Good Life Eatery

On Sunday my friend Tereza and I went shopping (yes snapchat lovers know all about it so to make sure you do not miss on this next time you can follow me as evaglamazon). And after so much walking, shopping, talking we got super hungry and decided to have a late lunch in to the Good life eatery in Chelsea. It is one of those places you hear so much about. It is popping out from magazines, media, blogs and everybody keeps going on about it.

Do you know what…I felt all the goodness coming to my body. Yes my order was Goodness Bowl and it not only looks good and gives you lot of energy and nutrition it is also delicious. The place does not have the best seating solution and it is very small but I think that is what people love anyway. People from some reason tend to fall in love with those small random place that have got two tables but become viral. I will definitely have to check out the Eatery in Marylebone. And what is the best thing you can order online! So your Friday eating in takeways no longer need to be unhealthy curries. LOL

No excuses just goodness!

V sobotu jsem sla nakupovat s kamaradkou Terezou. Pokud me sledujete na snapchatu (evaglamazon) tak asi vite vse o nasem malem nakupnim dobrodruzstvi. A tak nam po tom vyjednavani, chozeni a klaboseni pekne vyhladlo a rozhodla jsem konecne vyzkouset v Chelsea Good Life Eatery. Misto o kterem vsichni mluvi, pisou, vidim porad fotky na instagramu a je to proste popularni restaurace…nebo spise kavarna, ktera serviruje velmi zdrave jidlo. Pokud jste vegani a zajima vas clean food, tak sem urcite musite!!!

Ja jsem si z bohateho menu vybrala velkou salatovou misu Goodness bowl a strasne jsem si pochutnala. Nejen ze to vse vypada lakave, ale vsechno je i velmi chutne a telu dodate to nejlepsi. A co me dostalo nejvice, ze si muzete objednat jidlo online. Takze uz zadne vymluvy a tezka jidla jako curry, ktere do sebe tlacite v patek vecer u televize. Ale mate moznost zdravych dobrutek.

Ale i to curry je nekdy potreba. LOL

Tip of the week…Iberica Farringdon

Some of you may remember previous post from my birthday dinner in Iberica. This time I decided to try this fab place down in Farringdon. You may have seen my visit on snapchat already however it is such a great spot that it is worthwhile to share again. We decided to go for a lunch this time and it was nice and quiet which can be a good thing in London. I feel it is busy all the time everywhere so to find a place like this and be able to actually have a conversation is a great thing.

We ordered around 3 tapas each and shared everything as you would expect and as always I loved every dish. I picked some of my favourites like padron peppers and their chorizo lollipops but tried some new things like tomato salad or mackerel. Everything was delicious and if you love tapas this is a place to go.

My friend Emma who went there for the first time loved it so much that she went for dinner few days later. Well, good places are always a good choice right?

Mozna si pamatuje na muj predchozi post o narozeninove veceri v restauraci Iberica. Strasne tohle misto miluju. Maji opravdu prijemny dekor a vynikajici tapas. Tentokrat jsem se rozhodla vyzkouset jejich restauraci ve ctvrti Farringdon.

Vydala jsem se s pritelem a prateli jedno sobotni odpoledne na obed a v restauraci byl prijemny klid. To je obcas v Londyne raritou a pro me prijemnou zmenou. Pokud se sem nekdy vydate tak doporucuji si objednat asi tri jidla na osobu a to vam bude bohate stacit. Ja jsem objednala oblibene klasiky jako padron peppers a jejich chorizo lollipops, ale na stole se objevily pro me novinky jako napriklad makrela. Chutnalo mi opravdu vsechno a moje kamaradka Emma byla tak nadsena, ze uz si v sobotu rezervovala stul na veceri s prateli.

No dobra mista jsou zkratka dobra mista, ze?

Tip of the week … Hix Oyster & Chop House

Last weekend was all about great food and great company. I felt like a social busy bee with a diary full of meetings, lunches and dinners. However one of the evenings really stood out. My friends Helena and Lorcan picked this outstanding restaurant in Farringdon called Hix Oyster & Chop House. I must give them a big medal for picking this fabulous spot. It is a great choice for two czirish (Czech and Irish) couples like us. We both like good piece of steak.

The restaurant has got traditional deco with crispy white tablecloths that really compliment their predominantly meat menu. You can order selection of meats, chops but also delicious oysters. We all wanted to try as much as possible so we ordered lot of sharing sets and although it may sound a lot I ate steak tartare (that had really nice spicy kick to it), steak, chops, lobster and finished the evening with cherry pie with ripple ice cream. Although I am not that much into dessert this one was super delicious. And bit of sweetness is always needed after such a meat feast. The chops were definitely the best out of everything (so perhaps our next order).

And I could not resist and had to take picture of that Eva wine. And trust me I did not pick that on purpose at all!

I would give this restaurant 4,5 stars out of 5. And everybody felt the same. So I guess that means we are all coming back.

Minuly vikend byl hodne o jidle a dobre spolecnosti. Pripadala jsem si, ze trochu nestiham se svym nabity diarem plny veceri a obedu. Ale jeden z veceru se opravdu povedl. Nasi kamaradi Helena a Lorcan vybrali tuhle vytecnou restauraci ve ctvrti Farringdom a ti kteri maji radi steaky a maso tak ji urcite oceni. Hix Oyster & Chop House ma bohate menu a najdete v nem vse mozne od steaku az po humra.

Restaurace ma velmi tradicni decor, ale myslim, ze na tento styl restaurace se to hodi. Klasicke bile ubrusy a jednoduchy styl nemaji co pokazit a vzdy tak nejak davaji typickym steak housum ten spravny nadech. I kdyz se to bude zdat hodne …. tim ze jsme objednali ruzna jidla pro vsechny ctyri jsem mohla vyzkouset opravdu hodne z jejich nabidky…od tataraku, pres humra az po ruzne steaky. A silene mi chutnal jejich spenat. Servis byl taky vyborny a strasne jsem si to uzila, myslim, ze to byly skvele stravene tri hodiny.

A nemohla jsem odolat a musela jsem vam vyfotit to Eva vino. A opravdu se priznavam, ze to byla uplna nahoda.
