Our stay in Zanzibar included couple of highlights in terms of food and drinks – some because of the views, some for the food, and some for both. Nungwi In Nungwi the thing you want to look for is great views. We had that at couple of places which I can highly recommend: Rooftop bar... Continue Reading →
Food in Tangier is cheap and tasty. The touristic restaurants obviously have higher prices in general, but we actually paid the total of 5€ for our lunch. The tiny local restaurant didn't even really seem have a name and had only 2 tables - but it was a way of trying the truly authentic local... Continue Reading →

What you have to take into account is that everything is relatively pricey at dinner time (all main course typically 250hkd i.e. 30€ or more) but you can find some good deals at lunch time for 99hkd....

As for rest of Italy, also Como has some great food! Bar Il Molo in Varenna While very simplistic, Bar Il Molo has some stunning views over the lake.

BOA Mesa Comida Portuegesa is a great casual place to have some authentic Portuguese food near the Senado square. They have plenty of seafood available, but also some meat. Given its hidden few streets away from the Senado square it is also not too touristic and prices are very decent.
We also wanted to learn about Japanese cooking and hired a private chef to teach and cook with us booked via Prime Chef. The menu included many new food items varying from sushi style salads to omelettes, seasonal vegetables and special kind of tempura.
One definite item on our TODO list was visiting a Japanese Onsen. Most of these natural baths are actually gender separated, so ti took a bit of effort to find one suitable for couples, but we found one in Nerima Toshimaen Niwa no yu .The visit was just perfect with coom area for men and women...
