Since writing this review, it seems as though the restaurant has closed. In a world overtaken by Trip Advisor reviews, the idea of popping into somewhere just because 'it looks like it might be good' is long-forgotten for plenty of people. For...

I'll confess to not having done much research about food in Andorra before we were due to visit. It's somewhere Mr M wanted to include on our roadtrip but I was far more interested in France and Spain. Until, that is, my pal sent me a video of a...

Can we stop already with the snow now? At first it was fun, and we lived the dream of dog walks in crisp, white, crunchy stuff. Now it's a pain. And it's wet, and slushy, and cold. I'm going to remedy the winter blues with another fond foray back to...

I'm not quite sure how it can be January and I'm already behind on my blog but hey, it happened. I was so busy having a ball over Christmas and New Year, including a grand old adventure round Scotland, that all my virtuous plans of getting ahead on...

Sometimes it's the simplest meals that are the most special. And on holiday in Corfu, I was lucky enough to have one of these. In case it hasn't become completely clear by now, Mr M and I love Greek food. We had plenty of great meals during our...

When your sister-in-law tells you there's one thing she wants for her 30th birthday and it's dinner at a specific restaurant, it's a pretty good request to get. Little sis' Manning and her other half have been holidaying in Corfu for years and on...
