Stellar Restaurant Ephemera - A Space Food Experience

Stellar Restaurant Ephemera – A Space Food Experience

Posted on by Jupiter

While in Paris for Go Fest Global, a Pokemon Go event, our friends Molly and Husky recommended a restaurant that they felt Dann and I would really love; Stellar Restaurant – Ephemera. Ephemera have a bunch of different, themed restaurant experiences, and Stellar is their space-themed place to eat. As we love experiences and we love trying new food, this felt like such a great recommendation and I am so glad we went along! You do need to book ahead, online, and when you show up you get to walk through a bunch of well-decorated areas to get to your seat. The walls themselves have space-themed atmospheres being projected, and there is a mystical, calm music playing. The ceiling is covered in planet decorations and mood lighting. It’s got some great vibes! But, let’s get into the food.

Fancy Dinner at El Brellin

Fancy Dinner at El Brellin

Posted on by Jupiter

Dann and I wanted to go to a more fancy dinner while in Milan, and what better place than along the river in Vicolo dei Lavandai! There was tons of night life in the area, lots of different restaurants, but we walked along until we saw El Brellin tucked away, with upscale Italian food. Previously, this building was an old grocery store, where women who washed clothing would grab supplies. The layout hasn’t changed much, still showcasing the 1700s fireplace and coffered ceilings. We were excited to try the menu after seeing some of the selection. They have an ever changing menu, so I cannot find an accurate menu of what we had, so these names may have changed.

The Steak Board at Baha Bowness

The Steak Board at Baha Bowness

Each year, for our anniversary, we go to The Lakes Hotel and Spa, and while there go out for food nearby. Dann picked out Baha Bowness, which was right near another restaurant we quite enjoyed, as a new place to try out. Their food looked good, a nice Korean-fusion going on, and it didn’t match that of the pubs that can be found in the area – which is exactly what we were looking for. The general vibes were great – fantastic music and good staff. It’s also a dog friendly venue, which works well with all of the people walking their dogs along the lake. They also have live music on a lot of the nights, if that’s something you’re into.

Must try in Harlow - Mui & Koko Noodle Bar

Must try in Harlow – Mui & Koko Noodle Bar

Posted on by Jupiter

Dann and I go to Mui & Koko Noodle Bar roughly twice a month, and have done so for well over a year. We actually call Mui & Koko Noodle Bar “King Du”, which was their previous name, years and years back. They are a Chinese, Japanese and Korean noodle bar, with tons of huge dishes at very good prices. We tend to go often as on Wednesdays we run an event in Harlow Town with our Pokemon Go group. Every other week, we then meet up with our friends from Birmingham and a few regulars to the Pokemon Go event, we all go out to dinner, and then we go to the movies afterwards! Mui & Koko Noodle Bar is quick, delicious, and consistently all of our favorites.

Dinner at Konoba Forno

Dinner at Konoba Forno

Posted on by Jupiter

When going back to our hotel, we kept passing Konoba Forno, which was up a small hill. One evening, in the time after exploring and before an event we were heading too, we wanted to get some food and decided on here. Though many, many people said the meat platters were the thing to have, we wanted to try something that called itself traditional. The food at Konoba Fornzo had English under it, which often stated “traditional Croatia dish” and explained what it was.

Much like everywhere we seemed to eat in Croatia, you could sit in an open-air terrace or inside. We opted for upstairs in the open air, despite it being slightly windy, primarily because the temperature was fantastic. The staff were lovely, explaining the menu to us when we had questions. I picked a dish that was in the hot starters menu, but asked if it was big enough as a main, and they said it was! Now, I cannot find the menu online so I am not completely sure of the name of the dishes.
