Lunch At Burberry | Regent Street

After seeing and hearing about Thomas's Cafe/restaurant at the Burberry Store on Regent Street (London) in blogposts and Instagram pictures, i simply had to go and check out the food and what this place had to offer. Just a few minutes walk away from Piccadilly Tube station, the gorgeous flagship burberry store is the perfect place to eat and shop. As we entered the store, the help full staff guided us to the restaurant where we were served and taken to our pre booked table. (we booked using Opentable.com) 

Our bags and coats were taken to the cloakroom and we were seated at a beautiful table near a window overlooking the streets of central London. The ambience was perfect,with gentle music and quite chatter among guests. The interior had a sort of old english vibe to it which suits the personality of Burberry well. 

For food i choose to go with 2 small dishes rather than one main, i chose the Cheese Croquettes with Shallot Puree and chips along with a festive pomegranate and cinnamon drink. My friend Choose the Bertha Roasted Asparagus with poached eggs along with a lemonade. Our waiter was extremely kind and offered the drinks to be complimentary due to the food arriving later than expected. The service was excellent and food was extremely delicious and filling.

After eating the main we decided not to go for a dessert. We decided to go have a look around this magnificent store, the store was full of festive christmas trees and clients were being served glasses of champagne. All in all the experience was extremely pleasant and i would 100% recommend to go and give it a try.

Here are a few pictures i took of the day,

Festive Dinner At Vermillion

Last week i was in Manchester and decided to try out one of the well known restaurants around the area, Vermillion Cinnabar.Located in Central Manchester  The enticing and luxury eastern atmosphere immediately draws one in. With stunning decor and smells this restaurant brings you to enjoy an amazing meal. The 3 story labyrinth, created by Miguel Cancio serves high quality Indian and Thai food.

The top floor, filled with 'cocoons' and floating lights, offers a large yet intimate place for parties and events along with the bar serving drink and cocktails. The second floor is the main dining area with large tables and seats to accommodate guests. For the festive season it was decked out with green garnishes and brightly coloured crackers were laid out on the tables for guests to open.

For starters we had a selection of kebabs, Salmon fish, Lamb chops,  spring rolls and samosas along with a salt featuring mango.

The main course was a selection of Indian curries such as lentils, chicken and lamb followed by a light dessert of ice cream (unfortunately i was to busy scoffing it down and forgot to take pictures!)

Jardin Exotique Monaco

One of the must see places in Monaco is the Jardin exotique. Located in the south west of Monaco, the gardens feature a collection of the rarest and most amazing varieties of exotic plants. when at the gardens, vast views of Monaco and the Mediterranean can be seen from the towering buildings and cliffs to the luxury yachts floating on the glistening blue water.

Throughout the gardens there are panoramic view spots as well as a cave for you too look through. The plants from the garden come from various far away dry zones. In spite of their extravagant shapes, they are plants in their own right, regularly producing flowers.

I would recommend visiting the gardens fairly early in the morning (9-10 o'clock) when there is less rush and less heat. peak times are usually around 12 and 1 o'clock.
Tickets for adults are €7.20 and for children (4-18) it is €3.80

day out in Edinburgh

Last week, my good friend and I decided to take a trip to Scotland! We had been to many places already seeking new places to explore and sights to see; we had been to Liverpool, Birmingham, London and Manchester already so decided to try something new and ventured out into the city of Edinburgh. We left early in the morning, arriving at the train station. The journey took approximately three hours. Throughout our journey, as we passed through the Lake District all we could see was the beautiful scenery... and rain.

As we arrived in Edinburgh fortunately it was not rainy or wet; despite it being cloudy, it was not cold and a temperature of 16 degrees made the day enjoyable.

 We visited Multrees Walk, a street housing designer and luxury stores such as Louis Vuitton, Burberry and Tommy Hilfiger, as well as an impressive five-storey Harvey Nichols store. We ate at YO! Sushi which was located in the Harvey Nichols store, on the top floor (service was excellent and food was prepared very quickly) along with the Harvey Nichols food market, chocolate lounge and brasserie/restaurant

After seeing the shopping Edinburgh has on offer we went to the Princess street gardens where there were amazing views of the Scott monument and the rest of Edinburgh's architecturally outstanding buildings. Here there were large spaces for picnics and barbecues.

Right next to the gardens there was the Scottish national gallery, which housed a number of magnificent paintings. Admission for the gallery was free and you could stay as long as you wanted, to roam around and have a look.

All pictures were taken by me.

Monaco 2016

On the 30th of May, we jetted of to Monaco for a 2 night get away. we arrived at cote d'azur airport (in nice) in the morning and after a half an hour drive we arrived in Monaco! we stayed in Novotel Monte Carlo. it was an excellent hotel with amazing views and an awesome restaurant, along with a swimming pool gym and a rooftop terrace.

We visited all the sites such as the Hotel de paris, Monte Carlo casino and the pavilions! the weather was great and not too hot. we had gone straight after the grand prix had finished so there was construction going on taking down all the seating. the shopping was incredible and so were the people, great hospitality.

Here are a few pictures from my trip! enjoy x
