Where She Ate

In my previous blog posts I've expressed my love for various things including Spanish tapas, street food and my greatest love of all, dessert. Therefore, this week's blog post will centre around a place which offers it all- the famous 'Mercado de San Miguel' (or the Market of San Miguel in English). This gastronome's paradise is located in Madrid's old quarter and is one of the most popular and oldest food markets in Madrid as it dates back to the early 1900's. The market offers a wide selection of food with there being over twenty different stalls serving the likes of tapas, antipasto, paella, seafood dishes, fresh fruit, sweet pastries and even alcohol. The centre of the market acts as a dining area where everyone can sit together to enjoy their food. With there being such a huge variety of stalls to choose from I really struggled to decide which ones to eat from but I ended up having bruschetta with mozzarella, chicken and chorizo paella (t...

Back in 2016 I visited my now favourite place in the world - Berlin. There are many things I admire about this city including, its tragic history surrounding the aftermath of the second World War, its modern architecture and the wide variety of German beer on offer.

Today there are many variations of the classic dish and a wide variety of street vendors dedicated to serving the best Currywurst, many of which I got to visit on my trip to Ber...

Hello!   Welcome to my blog where every Friday for the next five weeks I’ll be posting about some of the amazing places I’ve eaten at around the world. My first post will centre around my favourite restaurants in the city I was born and raised in- Glasgow. I am in no way a food connoisseur but I am addicted to eating out meaning that my list of favourites is infinite but I’ve managed to narrow it down and select my top five and here it is…   5. Paesano Pizza, Miller Street I have never been to Italy and therefore have never had ‘authentic’ Italian Pizza but my guess is Paesano’s pizza comes very close and is without a doubt the BEST pizza I have ever had! The restaurant offers nine different pizzas with my personal favourites being numbers four (mozzarella and basil) and six (spicy salami and mozzarella). 4. The Wilson Street Pantry, Merchant City   I have never really been one for going out for breakfast/brunch until I ate at ...
