When I arrived in Paris to celebrate my 21st and visit my friend, I was adamant I wanted to eat somewhere quintessentially French on the first night, and Lês Têtes Brûlées, not too far from Paris Nord train station was just the spot!
Arriving at the restaurant (of course in the middle of happy hour) we got all of our cocktails in at just 5 Euros each, a good bargain for saying we we're slap bang in the middle of Paris! The event was filled with laughter as people retiring from work went straight out to enjoy happy hour and smoke on the cobbles. Why can't I have such glamorous nights after a long day at work?
The menu was minimal but I wanted everything. But we settled for the Beef Steak with fries and salad. Possibly the best steak I've ever had. The waiter was oh so French and made our experience want to come back for more.
If you want to visit whilst your in Paris, I highly recommend it....
The address is, 21 Rue de Turbigo, Paris and it is open from 7am - 2am everyday. I'm thinking breakfast, lunch and dinner!

This summer I had a glimpse of what cuisine the Costa Del Sol has to offer... Paella and praline were on the menu during this indulgent weekend.
First up, A buffalo mozzarella salad with cherries, pesto and a basil ice cream. Yep basil ice cream! It was a strange taste at first, a savoury ice cream with cheese.... But it was amazing and had the after taste of pizza... Not the most sophisticated description but I'm sure you're craving pizza now.
The mozzarella was fresh and full of flavour and balanced out well by the basil ice cream that I completely finished. Definitely an original to this amazing restaurant, La Terraza Laurel at La Cala Resort.
After a very filling traditional Paella, we indulged in a sweet and fluffy Praline. Such a great way to balance out all of the fishy flavours of the paella, the praline tasted like the best quality chocolate you could think of, topped off with a strawberry coulis and washed down with a cold white wine.
I would definitely recommend light dishes when abroad, but finished off with a satisfying and calorific dessert, because you are on holiday to relax and enjoy!

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. Park life was eventful!
From losing my friends, to raving in a huge muddy pit with strangers, I'd still do it again.
This week I am feeling so under the weather though, not sure if it was all my adventures or just the crazy hay fever that everyone seems to have.
Are you going to any festivals this year? Comment below, id love to hear of some more.

On one of my first days here in Manchester a friend took me for a little tour of the Northern Quarter. On one sunny sunday, I ventured out to see what foodie places I could visit, none of these pretentious portions though, I wanted a real meal.
Right on my door step, unknown to me was a haven of culture where it seems any flavour burger or beer would be available.
