With great memories from our first visit, Tree Tops Sky Dining & Bar, Anantara has to be our favourite restaurant in the world.
Harajuku’s Kawaii Monster Cafe is a unique concept and all the rave, as a hotspot in Tokyo. Walk along a monster’s tongue into a multicoloured room with a huge spinning merry go round, cake. Surrounded by four funky themed zones to choose to sit in. It has a slightly crazy meets Willy Wonka hallucinatory style, with oversized magical mushrooms bursting with colour, giant lips, and hanging baby’s bottles. It’s a bit surreal, with Kawaii Monster girls strolling around the restaurant. The menu is interesting, full of unimaginable colourful spaghetti and ice creams and cakes exploding with colour. The experimental cocktails are delightful, served with test tubes to add layers of colours to your drink. Presented with multicoloured chopsticks to take away made a nice memento. The Monster Cafe is quirky, colourfully crazy, and definitely worth a visit.

A weekend exploring Oslo has to be spent at The Grand Hotel Oslo. It’s centrally located, and most definitely our favourite five star hotel in Oslo. Established in 1874 there is an ere of vintage, however the hotel is in fact deceivingly modern. From the moment you are ushered in, you know have you have arrived somewhere extraordinary. It’s all marble and glorious display of flowers and chandeliers. The small golden boy sitting on a rocking horse by Elmgreen and Dragset is rather majestic. The wall of the reception is rather interesting, with endless lit door knobs and keys. The staff are so friendly and courteous and had some excellent dining recommendations. The Palmen restaurant has an extravagant multi-coloured, shabby chic chandelier that takes centre stage of the dining room. The plush sofas and marble tables are sophisticated and stylish, you can see how this is the hotel of choice for celebrities and royalties. The wall of famous guests that have frequented The Grand Hotel seems endless – including Queen Elizabeth, Barrack Obama, and even Michael Jackson. Expectations are set high when these are the types of guest they are used to. The breakfast buffet is a relatively modest selection of eggs, fruit, breads and […] ShareClick to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window)
Iceland is renowned for fishing so it is a must to savour some of the fresh fish by the old harbour. The Reyjkavik Fish Restaurant is in the Old Harbour area. It’s a nautically themed and the breaded cod and chips are the gem on the menu. The batter was light and crispy and the meal itself hearty. The fish is freshly caught. Sometimes simple fish and chips is all you need. It’s quite casual and great for groups to relax, at the end of a day of exploration in Iceland.Fish Restaurant, Ingolfsstraeti 8, & Skolavoroustig 23, Reykjavik 101, Iceland ShareClick to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window) ShareClick to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window)
The Jumeirah properties in Dubai are absolutely phenomenal and are what keep us going back to Dubai regularly. They are opulent, and luxurious. Nothing can compare. The Jumeirah Zabeel Saray is nestled on The Palm and is a stunning five star hotel that captures what Dubai is all about. It’s sheer Ottoman grandeur from the moment you enter. There’s an abundance of fresh floral displays, and the chandeliers are breath taking. The rooms are beautifully appointed and overlook the Dubai Marina in the near distance. The beds are so comfortable, one can guarantee the best night’s sleep here. It’s the attention to detail and the nightly chocolate on the pillows that make us smile. The white marble bathroom is sophisticated and stylish with delightful Penhalligons amenities. As well as the rain shower, is an amazing bath. Where do we start with the bath? It’s unbelievable. It’s absolutely huge. It does take a while to fill but it’s well worth it. The Jumeriah Zabeel Saray has some amazing restaurants including the Imperium. It is the most beautiful ballroom that serves food all day. The breakfast spread can seem overwhelming but it caters for everyone. There’s a vast selection of fruits, breads and eggs, crepes, waffles made […] ShareClick to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)Click to share on Google+ (Opens in new window)
As a self confessed chocolaholic staying at the Faimont Bab Al Bahr,The Chocolate Gallery was the first stop. Watching chocolatiers craft amazing fondants, cakes, ice cream and hot, molten melted chocolate. The chocolate shot really was sweet, creamy and decadent. It will leave you in a sugary coma but you can relax in the chic café. The decadent afternoon teas make this a great place to stop, overlooking the beach for indulgence.
