Lunch at Rainbow and Dove Pub

When looking for a place for a lunch with one of our friends, Dann came across the Rainbow and Dove Pub. At the moment, we are trying to go to every place to eat in all of Harlow this year, to see what the best places are. Neither Dann and I ever really pick pubs – it’s just something we aren’t that curious about, so it’s been fun to try new pubs and see what they are like. The Rainbow and Dove is an award winning independent pub with an ever-changing menu. They have a wine of the month, burger of the month, and tons of daily specials that are dependent on the produce that the pub has received, as well as pub classics that are always there.

Dinner at Restaurant Portun

When you go to Croatia, everyone always tries some of their grilled meats. Every menu we went to had some sort of grill menu, so we decided to go out to Restaurant Portun and try out a big plate of meat. This place had a sign that said “Best Grill in the Area” which had us sold. They have both indoor and outdoor seating, but we opted for outdoors as we wanted to enjoy the lovely evening weather. At Restaurant Portun we didn’t order a ton of different food, but we did EAT.

Lunch at Silk – Pan-Asian Fusion Food

If Dann and I are traveling, we are often trying the Asian food we find. When walking around Old Town in Dubrovnik, we stumbled upon Silk. It looks like they have a few different locations in different cities, and we were quite excited to have some delicious food. We both sat in their rooftop terrace, as the weather was so nice, but they did have a small indoor area for seating as well.

Dinner at the Hare Pub

Dann and I were out in the evening playing Pokemon Go and wanted to go out for dinner afterwards instead of getting groceries and making something! We decided to stop at The Hare Pub, which is a part of the McMullen pub chain. They run events like a weekly pub quiz and poker night, bringing some extra excitement into the venue. They also have a separate billiards area, lots of outdoor seating, and indoor dinning. We opted to eat inside as it was getting a little dark and late outside for us. When we went, they had both their standard menu and a smaller selection of Chef Recommendations as well, which worked as specials.

Lunch at CoHo Harlow

We drive by CoHo in Harlow often. It looks very similar in name and font to a French food chain, so we hadn’t taken the time to stop there, but this time we took the chance. On Saturday, it’s required that you pre-book, as they are super busy, so we went first thing on Sunday for lunch before heading out on a trip out of the country. The place is pretty simple and elegant in decoration – there are white tablecloths, menus clearly printed for that specific day, the staff is really attentive. It’s a very expensive feeling place to eat. CoHo is right on the river, and we even saw some swans swimming there before we entered.
