Nestled in the heart of France, Lyon is known as the country's culinary capital. This city brims with life and a wealth of attractions waiting to be explored. While it ranks among France's most significant urban centers, two days are often sufficient to take in its many offerings. Lyon's unique charm stems from being traversed by two winding rivers, which bestow upon it a distinct allure. Multiple bridges gracefully connect the city's three main districts: the historic Old Town (Vieux Lyon), the peninsula known as Presqu'île, and the riverbanks on the right bank of the Rhône. For a short stay, it's advisable to choose accommodations as centrally located as possible, ensuring easy access to the city's primary points of interest. While Lyon is mostly walkable, do keep in mind that it encompasses several hilly areas, particularly the Fourvière Hill. For those less inclined to undertake the uphill journey on foot, there's a cable car service available to ascend the heights. Should you wish to extend your journey, Lyon harmoniously pairs with other destinations such as Paris, Dijon (and the Burgundy region), Geneva, and Annecy. Dive into this vibrant city where culinary expertise meets rich heritage, this city is a captivating blend of historical landmarks, vibrant neighborhoods, and a thriving cultural scene.

It's really hard to imagine a better evening than going to different restaurants spilling into the street, enjoying small Spanish dishes, and sipping on glasses of fine wine for as little as €2 a glass. Málaga is an amazing place to enjoy Spain's culinary peaks. While you could easily go to these establishments to get dinner, when in Spain do as the Spaniards do. The best way to enjoy Spanish tapas is to do a tapas crawl, order two or three plates at each establishment, get one glass of wine, and then saunter to the next place. I highly recommend this - especially if you only have a limited time in Málaga!

Some of my favorite restaurants in the Boston area for tapas and small plates of all cuisines. Best places for groups that are into sharing or want to taste or try everything on the menu! As I try new places you may see some new additions!

While living in Orvieto, Italy, I had many months to explore all of the different (& very tasty) restaurants, cafes, and bars in town. For a town that is only a mile long, there is a lot packed in -- and mostly for a very affordable price. Not all of these are open year-round; if traveling between Christmas and the end of February, expect some closures or shortened hours. Italians usually have a quick & very light breakfast -- some espresso and maybe a pastry. Don't expect a full American breakfast anywhere you travel in Italy! Lunch is usually one course, typically very quick like pizza or small plate pasta. Aperitivo is Italy's happy hour, but much cooler. Usually, with the purchase of a drink the snacks come free (and flowing!). Traditional Italian dinner is at least 3 courses, though at some restaurants you are not expected to order that many. Depending on how nice the restaurant is though, you may be expected to order 2. Because Orvieto is smaller (& because you don't tip in Italy) a two-course dinner is typical and budget-friendly. And remember -- it is inappropriate to leave food leftover on your plate. Another important note about Italian cafe/restaurant culture is that a lot of the spots on this list are interchangeable. In Italy, it is typical/expected that a cafe is open for coffee & pastries at breakfast time, transition to a lunch after noon with quick plates, aperitivo in the afternoon, and a bar after dinner. For restaurants, they typically open around noon for lunch (if they even open for lunch), then resume around dinnertime. Rule of thumb is that anywhere that starts serving dinner before 7/7:30 isn't authentic & is a tourist trap.

A compact, high quality itinerary for a few days in Dublin. I have visited all locations myself. Natural wine, small plates, pubs, shopping, sites. I hope this helps!

Krakow has recently embraced the trend of serving small plates for sharing, providing a perfect opportunity to sample a variety of flavours at once. It's perfect for groups - you can order a dozen plates, enjoy a piece of each and satisfy both your hunger and culinary curiosity. Here's a guide to restaurants which allow for trying out such variety.

Venice, also known as the "City of Canals”, “The Floating City” and "Serenissima”, is a place like no other - charming through its intricate alleys and walkways over the canals, with no cars/scooters or traffic noise to spoil the romance in the air. Gondolas floating here and there, idyllic cozy terraces just around every other corner, Italian delicacies all over and relaxed people wandering about. Venice's culinary delights include Sarde in Saor, Risotto al nero di seppia (black squid ink risotto), Bigoli in salsa, Baccalà mantecato (whipped codfish), Fegato alla veneziana (liver with onions), and Risi e bisi. Don't miss cicchetti (small plates) and Tiramisu for dessert. Highlights: 🍾 Bellini is the name of a cocktail invented in Venice about 80 years ago. A Bellini consists of peaches and Prosecco (Italian version of Champagne). The peaches are squeezed and the juice is mixed with Prosecco. The glasses in which the Bellini is served have to be very cold. For the typical Venetian Bellini only white peaches are used. 🛶 A gondola is a traditional narrow and long Venetian rowing boat. The boat is steered by one person called a gondolier with the help of one long oar. Centuries ago, gondolas were the main means of transport in Venice. Now they have become a very popular tourist attraction, and perhaps the most recognisable symbol of Venice. Although a bit expensive (standard gondola rides in Venice have a fixed cost of 80 euros for a private 25-30 minutes tour. At night, however, the cost of a gondola ride is 120 euros for a private 25-30 minutes tour. If you desire to stay longer, tell the gondolier and ask for the price before the start of the tour) a gondola ride might just be the most romantic thing to do in Venice. 🥠Baicoli is a typical Venetian biscuit. The shape of the biscuit resembles that of a sea bass, hence the name - "baicoli" means "sea bass" in the Venetian dialect. Back in the old times, when Venetian sailors prepared for long journeys, the captains made sure to procure a lot of baicoli. The biscuits were used as bread, and because of being very dry, they could survive for a very long time. Baicoli are typically vanilla-flavored, and are sold in metal boxes, easy to transport and keep fresh for long. The metal boxes, in which the baicoli are sold today, carry a picture of Venetian men and women in traditional clothing of olden times. Other traditional sweets to try: Mandorlato di Cologna Veneta (especially at Christmas). 🍘 Frittelle - They are Venetian doughnuts served only during Carnival. They can be stuffed with pistachio cream, zabaione and chocolate.

For the ultimate Singapore experience with a glamorous twist, use the historic and opulent Raffles Hotel as your base. Retire to the intimacy of The Writers Bar for pre-dinner drinks and put dinner reservations in the hands of your personal butler. With Natureland Reflexology and Massage a 1-minute walk away, spend your mornings shopping and exploring and your afternoons reviving your tired feet in the cool comfort of Natureland. If antique shopping is on your agenda, venturing to one of Singapore’s junk stores can be thrilling. One of the best is Tong Mern Sern on Craig Road; it houses three floors of antiques which will please even the most discerning collector. If you love handmade ceramics, Mud Rock Ceramics is where high end restaurateurs source their plates and where those in the know shop for one-of-a-kind hand moulded pieces with beautiful glazes. Ceramic Loft also has a unique range of handmade and bespoke bowls, plates, vessels, decor and art pieces and Thow Kwang Pottery Jungle is known for their huge range of plates, tableware, baking dishes and outdoor pots in the Peranakan style. If shopping and exploring leaves you in need of a cool down, head to Rempapa chef Damian D'Silvas favourite bar, No.5 Emerald Hill which he says is the only bar that still retains the nostalgia of Eighties Singapore. In his words, "It may not have the most creative cocktails, but the moment you walk in, you feel comforted and relaxed, and the beer is cold." For the ultimate cool down, return to the hotel and take an invigorating dip in the rooftop pool. Lose yourself in a holiday read or indulge in a light meal with a cocktail or an icy beer as you watch the sky momentarily cloud over for the inevitable tropical rain shower. Dining out is a way of life in Singapore and it is truly a foodlover's paradise. You can indulge in a Michelin starred affair at Cloudstreet one day and enjoy the buzzing energy and authentic flavours of chilli crab, chicken rice and satay at the Lau Pa Sat or Maxwell hawker centre the next. Pair the cuisine, the climate and the ease of getting around with the culture and history of this tiny flavour bomb of a destination and you'll enjoy a holiday that satisfies all your senses.
