Group Dinner at Casa Rufo

Group Dinner at Casa Rufo

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] I spent some time in Bilbao, Spain – where I was recommended a few places to eat, including Casa Rufo. Casa Rufo is sort of like a deli when you walk in; there are cans of different fancy ingredients and a deli display, which had a bunch if items that would go great in some sort of hamper. The inside had tons of wine racks, with lots of bottles of wine sticking out. It feels rustic and quite like a hidden gem, where you would find a bunch of small plates and fantastic wine. Thankfully, one of the members of staff did speak English, so it was very easy to order as well.

The Toaster - Fantastic Brunch Spot

The Toaster – Fantastic Brunch Spot

Posted on by Jupiter

A friend of mine said I should go to The Toaster and try their hashbrown nachos when I spoke about making weird nacho food for Kai. I had not heard of the place and though I am not a big brunch or breakfast fan, while Kai and Robin were at school (and Amelia still on holiday from her school), we wanted to go out somewhere new. The Toaster came to mind, so we all headed out to see what the food was going to be like. To our surprise, it was probably the best brunch I am ever going to have in my life.

Dinner out at The Cock Helsinki

Dinner out at The Cock Helsinki

Posted on by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted experience] While in Helsinki for a work event, we went out to a celebratory dinner to celebrate the end of a fantastic event and a promotion I got within the company! Picking something that sounded and felt like it could be British, we ended up at The Cock. This restaurant is very welcome to people just visiting the area and serves a fun menu with a lot of familiar and classic food. Dann and I both got different starters and mains, for once, off of a set menu that the entire team ordered from. The venue felt cozy, like an upscale pub, and the staff were fantastic.

Playing with cats at Katzentempel

Playing with cats at Katzentempel

Dann and I go to Germany each and every year, specifically to Cologne, for Gamescom as apart of our day jobs. We’ve basically done everything we could possibly go or so we thought! This year, Dann surprised me by finding a new place; Katzentempel Koln, which is a vegan cat cafe, right in Cologne. I absolutely love cat cafes and have been to a few in London. You do not need to pre-book, so we went along in the afternoon during one of the days we were there.

The Boathouse Restaurant - Beautiful Views of Loch Ness

The Boathouse Restaurant – Beautiful Views of Loch Ness

Posted on by Jupiter

While staying with Abbey Holidays at The Highland Club in Loch Ness, they recommended we eat at The Boathouse Restaurant, which is within view of the apartments that they rent. This little ma-and-pa style restaurant is one that has beautiful, stunning views of Loch Ness. The views themselves are enough to bring anyone to the area, but the food is also something we wanted to try and see if it lived up to the breathtaking views. The menu itself has a mix of Scottish food and Turkish food, as the owner is Turkish. I went for the Turkish options myself!
