Food popular here * Iron Goddess Milk Tea * Alley Trio Milk Tea * Brown Sugar Deerioca Let’s see how people review this restaurant "This is my second time going to The Alley (previously at different Yonge location) and they knocked it outta the park, again. The atmosphere at this place was so cozy. And the Ube Deerioca was delicious. Their brown sugar pearls are always warm when you first get them. Staff was super speedy and very welcoming." - Melodee C. "My favourite The Alley in downtown and hands down one of my favourite BBT joints in Toronto! Was a regular at this location pre-pandemic and it was always busy and difficult to find seating. It's much calmer now but I have a feeling it's going to get busy this summer. It just goes to show how popular the place is! The staff are always friendly, informative, and efficient! Haven't tried everything on the menu but you can't go wrong with the Deerioca (brown sugar) series with fresh milk, milk tea series, or original brew teas." - Bev K. "Good bubble tea. Brown sugar milk tea is favorite. Line can get a hit long but they are pretty fast usually hi" - Telmen U.

Food popular here * Purple Yam * Lychee Paradise * Grapefruit Aloe Citrus Tea Let’s see how people review this restaurant "Great spot for some yummy boba!! We ordered a couple of wintermelon drinks and they were delicious! Also the staff was very friendly. Lovely bubble tea spot! Some unique drinks that I definitely want to come back and try." - Shelby S. "Had the taro tea and brown sugar tea with oat milk.  The taro flavor is faint, but that's because it's real taro vs. the powder. It was a nice change but if you're looking for the powdered taro, look elsewhere. Brown sugar milk tea was lovely,  and the oat milk is truly creamy but can overpower the flavor of the tea. With that being said, I thoroughly enjoyed my beverages." - Diana N. "Great tea shop!  Had a rose infused milk tea with oat milk and grass jelly.  Son had the same thing with boba'. Delicious!!" - Tricia K. Restaurant Info * +1 647-995-8760 * https://www.baronesscanada.com * 421 Yonge St Toronto, ON M5B 1T1 Canada * 12:00 PM - 12:30 AM 3.

Food popular here * Matcha Latte * Rose Jasmine Tea * Tapioca Let’s see how people review this restaurant "Ginger is one of my favorite flavors so the ginger tea was great 10/10. I prefer getting it without tapioca if because I've found the ginger flavor is stronger without it. Will be ordering this again and again." - Jess D. "So good!! Stopped by this place twice during my trip to Toronto and the iced matcha latte with tapioca was amazing. The menu was quite simple and the one-size drinks made it easy to look through the different drink options. Hopefully I can come back again soon and try other flavors." - Skye H.

I had no idea this place existed until a group of friends I was with introduced me here.  Am I sure glad I followed their recommendation - their mango fruit tea I ordered was absolutely refreshing and flavourful!  I ended up having one of my friends help me choose since their menu is huge and full of many different options - all of which are of very high quality from my understanding.  The service was excellent and quick, and staff members were very friendly and patient.  I did see some past reviews complaining about the price but I think how much you pay for drinks here is absolutely worth it. Why didn't I know about this place earlier during my past visits to Toronto?  That's the real question..." - William K. "We've ordered from gotcha quite a few times and it's always a solid choice. The creme brulee is definitely my personal favorite. I'm not sure but I think they may have dairy subs if you ask" - Jess D. "This place is one of the best places for bubble tea. I came here with my sister and mother a few days ago while we were visiting the area. The girls working the business were very nice and friendly. I ordered a Taro smoothie and OMG so delicious.

Will need to go back next time to try other drinks and to try out the speakeasy behind the "vending machine"" - James Y. "Deee-licious! I got into a bit of a yogurt craze after trying the bottled type in China. This is like bubble tea married Yop and they turned it appropriate for adults. I have been kind of disappointed in the selection in Toronto. Then one day I accidentally stumbled upon this place on my way home and I have ever looked back! This place amazes me every time I try it. The decor is modern and simple (they've got aesop hand sanitizer) and the menu is not overwhelming. The yogurt tastes hearty and wholesome without a bunch of additives. I have tried their original menu and the tea menu now and both are great. The fruit is real and they are generous with it. The staff here are also super attentive and take care in making all the drinks. Here's to more treat days so I can stuff my face with more Kome!" - Annette Y.

The white jade lychee is refreshing and they are generous with toppings. The interior is also super cute, bright, and clean. Service is a little slow but the staff is always super friendly and polite!" - Xini L. "Have passed by this location several times, and never thought to come in. Until one day I just stumbled upon their special that was buy one get 1/2 off, I figured I might as well try it today of all days. I can definitely say this place is 10 out of 10 for a real authentic Tea flavour if that's what you're looking for. Anything that has tea in it taste like a high-quality tea that has been steeped properly and used all the necessary steps to make it taste perfect. The one topping that stood out the most to me though aside from your usual coconut jelly, or Boba pearls; Is their cream cheese foam, it did not taste like it was just made with heavy cream or carnation milk, it actually had cream cheese in it and it was super thick and rich with just the right amount of salt. I can't wait to go back again, I will remind everybody that they are quite pricey though, but that's what you get for good quality tea flavour. There are several selections and flavours to choose from I highly recommend this to anyone looking for a nice refreshing cup of Boba or juice drink." - Chantal Y.

Soaring with the Gigantic Whale 🐋: Central Pacific Coast

Soaring with the Gigantic Whale 🐋: Central Pacific Coast

Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Read more ¡Que gire y gire la ruleta para saber cuál es tu próximo destino ✈️! ¿A dónde te vas de paseo?#VisitMéxico pic.twitter.com/HrNH66OnxW — Visit México (@VisitMex) August 13, 2022 The central Pacific coast of Mexico is a land of stunning beaches, gigantic aquamarine waves, and giant sunsets. You can eat sublime seafood under simple palm-frond roofs, drink chilled coconut water while lounging in a hammock, and enjoy poolside cocktails at an upmarket resort. The nightlife is great and there's a beach for everyone, whether you prefer yours backed by high-rise hotels or tumbledown cabins. In the ocean, you can surf world-class breaks and spot humpback whales breaching on the horizon, battalions of mother turtles arriving to lay their eggs, pelicans flying in formation or pods of dolphins rising from the waves. Don't hesitate, come and start you surfing adventure now. 1. Jardín Botánico de Vallarta In the Vallarta Botanical Gardens, you can see one of Mexico's most extensive orchid collections, as well as a variety of native plants and birds. After strolling through the grounds, you can go down a jungle trail to the tranquil shores of Río Horcones, where you can swim in a boulder-strewn river. Nature enthusiasts come from far and wide to see the garden’s colorful collection of native orchids. You’ll see Mexican vanilla, cacao trees, and agave tequilana, learn about how chocolate is made and how it played an important role in pre-Hispanic rituals at the same time. 2. Yelapa Yelapa is a small fishing community with a picturesque beach. It's backed by jungle-shrouded mountains and is best reached by boat. The beach is definitely a great place to get away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Puerto Vallarta. There are plenty of places to eat in Yelapa, from seafood restaurants to taco joints and cafes. You can try local specialties like fish tacos, birria, and pescado zarandeado. And don't forget to try a michelada cubana! After your meal, look for one of Yelapa's "pie ladies," who walk around the beach carrying delicious coconut, banana, and lime pies. 3. Playa La Boquita At Playa La Boquita, you can spend the day swimming in calm waters, lounging on the beach, and snorkeling around a shipwreck. There are also plenty of seafood restaurants to enjoy on another beach nearby Yelapa. 4. Volcán Ceboruco This active volcano consisting of two calderas and three cinder cones. You're allowed to hike around this active volcano, which last erupted in 1870. The road to the volcano passes lava fields, fumaroles, and lush vegetation. It begins in the village of Jala, which is 7km off the highway from Tepic to Guadalajara. 5. Zona Arqueológica de Palma Sola Palma Sola is an archaeological settlement located in the amphitheater or upper part of the port of Acapulco, yet Acapulco's best-kept secret hill.The site has an area of approximately four hectares and is made up of a set of architectural complexes built with stonework and mud, among which the Great Pyramid stands out. It's a ceremonial and pilgrimage site dating back to 450 BCE to 650 CE, with some wonderfully preserved rock paintings, petroglyphs depicting the story of creation, and the best bird's-eye view of the city. 6. Clavadistas de la Quebrada Acapulco's cliff divers have been dazzling audiences since 1934. Every night, a team of seven lithe young divers leaps into churning waves, scales the cliff opposite the viewing platform, and then plunges with fearless finesse from heights of 25m to 35m into the narrow ocean cove below. 7. Zócalo Acapulco's leafy old town, Zócalo, comes alive with street performers, mariachis, and sidewalk cafes every night yet also hosts occasional festivals. The town is the main square in central Mexico City. It was the main ceremonial center in the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan. The plaza is now known as Plaza de la Constitución (Constitution Square). The name comes from the Cádiz Constitution, which was signed in Spain by the representatives of Mexico during the Mexican War of Independence. 8. Old Mazatlán Mazatlán's old town has been restored and is full of beautiful 19th-century buildings and lovely plazas. It's set back from Playa Olas Altas, a small cove beach where the waterfront road – with its old-fashioned bars and hotels – makes you feel like you're in the 1950s. Though it's not as nice as it could be because of the ugly radio masts of Cerro de la Nevería, this old quarter is still delightful, with student life and numerous art galleries, cafes, restaurants and bars. 9. Teatro Ángela Peralta The 1366-seat theater named after a 19th-century soprano, just off Plaza Machado, was a thriving center of local cultural life for nearly a century. It was revived from its decaying state by dedicated local citizens in the late 1980s, And the three-level interior has been restored to its former splendor. All kinds of cultural events are staged here, from temporary art exhibitions to the annual Festival Cultural Mazatlán. By the coast, you can enjoy the air if you're nature enthusiasts. Yet the coast also houses quite some cultural events, so don't worry if you're looking for a artistic trip. It's the best you love both nature and culture of the coast!

Food popular here * Bhel puri * chicken tikka tandoori * Chicken Tikka Naan Pizza Let’s see how people review this restaurant “What a wonderful surprise and great Indian food!! We decided to eat there because of the ratings here on Yelp. It didn't look like much, just some local Indian eatery.  The first time we went, couldn't even get in! So we made reservations for the following night. Oh my God, it was so much better than I expected. The food was wonderful. Some of the best Indian food I've eaten since I was in India 15 years ago. Also, if you have peanut allergies (like I do), there are many dishes they can make without the peanuts. And they're careful about cross contaminating dishes. I had absolutely no problem. The restaurant staff were excellent, friendly and attentive. If you eat dinner, I recommend making reservations. Lunch may well be the same way, so again, I recommend giving them a call. It is worth it. Wonderful food and a good staff in a small & delicious local Indian eatery.” — G. R. “We stopped here for a quick dinner on my last night in Melbourne. It was cold and rainy outside. The restaurant was full of people and there were a couple of small tables outside. The place is not large but seems to use space efficiently. The girl at the counter said we could sit outside or, if we wanted there was a table for two that we could have for 45 minutes inside. We sat inside, ordered quickly and we're served quickly as well. The food was really tasty and we finished in about 46 minutes, not really feeling rushed, but they definitely wanted the table back for the reservation. We had the chaat platter and mixed grill... to get a sampling of their offerings in our limited time. The tandoori chicken was really excellent. I suggest making a reservation. Also, my cell phone had just about zero reception once we hit the small alley where this place is located, so be aware if you're trying to meet someone there.” — Doug B. “tasty Indian food but very small portions. I got the chicken tikka tandoori and there were only a couple small pieces of meat for $16. My friend had the bhel puri, samosa chaat, and mango lassi and enjoyed everything but found the food to be a little too spicy.” — Izzy W.

Sure you won't want to skip these 10 bistros in Mexico City

Make Your Trip to Mexico City Close and Their Bistros Closer. 1. Lardo The Lardo restaurant is located in front of the Mazatlán street walkway in the Condesa neighborhood. It is an informal space where coexistence is encouraged. This is achieved thanks to the configuration of the place, which has an extensive bar and an open kitchen with a large wood-fired oven. The menu proposal is designed to be shared in the center of the table and complemented by a careful selection of wines, all served by the glass, beers and spirits. The gastronomic proposal in Lardo focuses on the quality of the ingredients through simple preparations. The daily offer is defined by seasonal ingredients. Food popular here * Tiramisu * Matcha Latte * Hot Chocolate Let’s see how people review this restaurant “I go here every time I come to Mexico City - highly recommend for brunch! The food is great, pastries are delicious, and the space itself is stunning. We did a walk in on a Friday with no reservation and didn't have to wait at all. If you love copper decor - definitely check it out. Beautiful!” — Michelle S. “If any kid or grown up likes cheese pizza, this is the place to go. And if you have a sweet tooth and likes chocolate mousse - they have a chocolate hazelnut mousse with a crunchy chocolate crust and it's perfect!  We also devoured the stuffed squash blossoms and deconstructed carrot cake! To die for.” — Masha P. “Came here a couple times during my stay. Everyone here is super kind and the place is adorable.  They have all of the pastries which is clearly important. The people I went with really enjoyed the guava pastry, it was very flavorful along with everything they bake. The cardamom roll was very flavorful and it was a surprisingly "airy" pastry. They have a "to go" window of you want to take your items down to the park and enjoy them. This spot was lovely.” — Samantha S.

Happiness is... Having Breakfast in Madrid!

Happiness is... Having Breakfast in Madrid!

8 restaurants for breakfast you should try in Madrid. 1. Chocolatería San Ginés The bar has a nostalgic atmosphere, recalling the cafes of the late nineteenth century. It has two floors, each furnished with traditional white marble tables. At the tile-covered counter, visitors can have chocolate with churros, any other soft drink or coffee accompanied by pastries in the traditional way. Its opening until the wee hours of the morning makes it possible for people to gather for breakfast of different types. Food popular here * churros con chocolate Let’s see how people review this restaurant "An institution in Madrid, at San Gines you get to eat amazing chocolate and churros and because it has been operating since 1894, the atmosphere of a classic cafe is fabulous.The chocolate is not too bitter. My tip is you wait a few minutes before eating so it cools/thickens just a little and clings to the churro better. A child of mine said you need maximum chocolate adhesion. (Science word of the day)"—Hart P. "Chocolate con churros are definitely a treat though because they're very heavy and have a certain taste to them that lingers in your mouth for a while, but it's definitely worth it if you're ever in Madrid. Definitely recommend coming with friends so you guys can share!"—Jenny T. "You simply cannot visit Madrid and not stop in at San Gines. This is the perfect place for that mid afternoon snack when you want to rest your legs and enjoy something sweet. My go-to is always the "churros con chocolate," that is a mug of thick chocolate and churros."—Patricia G.

"It's hard finding larger-sized portions of breakfast in a country that normally has a cup of coffee and bread, so this place was a great find! My boyfriend ordered the oven-baked eggs (w bacon), I ordered the benedict (w salmon), and we also ordered the French toast to share. Everything was delicious!!! Definitely check this place out!"—Ashley R. "My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this restaurant this morning which was our first day in Madrid. I ordered the Brioche Toast with Ham and Cheese.

We were made to feel welcome and the staff were kind and helpful. Rooms were comfortable, cosy, clean and with a traditionally Japanese feel. The hot baths in the basement were such a treat after a long day walking in Kyoto. The lounge area overlooking the garden is a wonderful space to relax. The green tea ceremony and traditional Japanese breakfast are some of our most treasured memories of our time in Japan. Thank you Nishiyama Ryokan for making our stay so special!” — Michs “We stayed with another couple for 1 night, but I wish we had more time to fully enjoy the stay at Nishiyama Ryokan. They treated us with care, paid detailed attention to our needs, and the rooms were super clean and the bathrooms were really nice. I also used the big bath downstairs and it was also clean and relaxing. I slept well in a nice futon. The food was first class and I think we ate everything. A big compliment to the chef and the server lady was super assertive and helpful. We were also amazed by the traditional tea ceremony performed and served by the second generation owners. They were so fantastic, polite and kind. We want to come back. I'd recommend this Ryokan to anyone.” — DallasTexas123 “An amazing place to stay!

Besides, everyone is very welcoming, kind and always smiley and ready to help. Arigatou!!” — Clara F “Lovely family ryokan located in a quiet street at 10 minutes walk from Kyoto Station. We were welcomed by a super friendly lady, who made us feel at home as soon as we entered. Our room was in the first level with lots of natural light. The room is a typical Japanese traditional with tatamis and futons. At night they brought us some warm tea which was perfect as it was still rather cold in January. On our check out we were gifted with 4 coasters and a polaroid. 100% recommended!!” — Diana M “The stay here was fantastic. Every one was really nice and helpful! The hotel was very clean and the mats were comfortable. It felt as though you were staying at a family members house, but nicer. The breakfast in the morning was delicious.

The rooms are very spacious, which is rare in Japan, we had a lot of space! The ryokan amenities are great, especially the public baths, excellent to relax after a day of touring Kyoto. The building is clean and well preserved. The attention to details is fantastic, as everyday you get little treats like tea and cookies. The staff also was very friendly and polite. The location is convenient, close to a subway station and bus stops, and there are several restaurants nearby, but still in a quiet neighborhood. Maybe a bit distant from the most important Kyoto's landmarks, but still easy to move in the city using public transportation.” — Diego M “We had a delightful few days at this lovely ryokan. Service was super friendly and welcoming. The room was cosy and traditional (futons on floor, with thick, warm duvets). The location is great, just a short walk to a quiet station which will take you to Gion and Pontocho in a few stops. The same train line also links to local routes which will take you to several of the less busy temples. If you are lucky enough to be here for the autumn leaves as we were then you should see Enkoji and Shisen-do (they are next to each other): sublime! Many thanks to Sawaya Honten for a memorable stay in Kyoto.” — cwdbrighton “We stayed there for 11 nights and very much enjoyed it.

Staffs were very helpful and fluent in English as well. Great service, great breakfast (as we did not choose dinner option) and more than great bath.” — hkjerry “This homely ryokan exudes a warm welcoming feeling with its super comfortable futons, yummy breakfast and friendly staff. Prices are steep but worth every cent. We walked to all the major scenic spots in Arashimaya and enjoyed the crisp fresh morning air. Will most certainly come back here when we next visit Kyoto.” — raykuan “Food, hospitality, and location were incredible. The location could not have been better. We ate dinner over looking the mountains, river, and bridge. And the private onsen..... so relaxing.

8 Taiwanese restaurants to try in Chicago

8 Taiwanese restaurants to try in Chicago

Taiwanese have more than BOBA! There are lots of good stuffs you can try! 1. Hello Jasmine They are Taiwanese dreamers who take pride in being food ambassadors in Chicago. They import their main ingredients from Taiwan and make the order once it's placed. The food is worth the wait for its freshness and tastiness. You can find the four iconic Taiwanese Street Food here: Chicken Steak(G-Pie), Popcorn Chicken(Salty crispy chicken), Bubble Tea, Braised pork over rice. They use real tea leaves for your drink. This world needs them to do affordable real food for lunches and dinners. They will do what they can do to preserve and promote the traditional Taiwan food culture in the USA. Food popular here * Special Braised Pork Over Rice Bento * Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea * Grilled Chicken Steak Let’s see how people review this restaurant “Taro milk tea with tapioca is my go-to flavor for bubble tea. This place does it right. Very popular spot in Chinatown a few blocks from the Chicago Chinatown gate. It was a little extra thick and the tapioca balls were nice and chewy.” —Dennis D. “If you watched YouTube you might think they are still located in the underground food court in Chinatown but that is not true. They have moved a few blocks away but  still close enough to walk to. We parked in the public parking lot and walked there to grab some boba drinks and you can't forget the popcorn chicken! My wife and I got the Taro Milk tea and the brown sugar boba drink along with their popcorn chicken spicy level. The boba drinks were great! You can adjust the ice and sweetness level. We both just got regular sweetness and ice. The drink were satisfying, we ate the popcorn chicken on our drive back to Milwaukee. I would definitely go back and try their other drinks and food items. Word of advice, if you plan to do some touring you can order for pickup, it will save you the wait in line!” —Moua Y. “Rate 5/5 from my Taiwanese husband.

And their beef noodle soup has these really tender beef shank pieces that melt in your mouth. The owners are there every day and are super friendly.” —Justin H. “Wonderful comfort food for carry out.  Their package the noodles separately for their spicy beef noodle soup so it doesn't get soggy.  Rice with pork and their chestnut chicken dish were perfect for the fall weather.  We always get the popcorn chicken and sticky buns.  Looking forward to picking food there again.  And they use paper boxes whenever possible which is wonderful!!!” —Yvonne Y. “This is a great dinner spot! It's definitely a hole in the wall, but my husband, who is from Hong Kong. confirmed that they have really authentic Taiwanese food.

I always get the beef tendon noodle soup. It's my favorite. The broth is so rich and flavorful. There is also a mini hot pot where you can order. Today we order the beef tendon noodle soup and spicy chicken rolls with stir fried cabbage. Let me say me and my sister we ate everything. Would recommend people to come here to eat. There is a parking lot.” —KELLY M. “5/5 for real. Hotpot , noodle , street food menu , bubble tea and many more .. all in one place. Popcorn chicken is a must. Hotpot for one is also good.

Food popular here * Fried Chicken * Hong Kong Style Eggette * Signature Triple Let’s see how people review this restaurant “Their bingsoo is really well crafted! Love the option that you can combine flavors into one bowl. This dessert is super refreshing and very fruity. The shaved ice is more of a shaved milk which is so nice as it adds onto the creaminess of this treat. In addition, they have syrups of the flavors you get on top of the fruit which is very natural tasting and not artificial. Definitely one of my favorite spots in the city for bingsoo! A perk is that they have a free small parking lot if you're able to find a spot if it's not already full!” —Kelly L. “TSAoCAA's snowflake ice transports you to the night markets of Taiwan. Soft, creamy, cloud-like shaved ice melts in your mouth. The aesthetic is super instagrammable. Perfect for cooling off in the summer heat or a meal (they also serve Korean fried chicken). The only downside is their AC is not as strong but it makes the snow that much more enjoyable” —Phoebe C. “This was my go-to place in Chicago! My favorite fruit teas I had in Chinatown, hands down. My favorite I kept coming back for was the grapefruit rose oolong tea and I always adde lychee jelly :) Please come check it out!” —Eve T. Restaurant Info * http://www.tsaocaail.com * (312) 624-9650 * 2026 South Clark St Unit G Chicago, IL 60616 5. Vivi Bubble Tea At Vivi Bubble Tea, one will find a huge selection of fresh tea options.

Food popular here * Tiramisu Milk Tea * Red Bean Matcha Milk Tea * Passion Fruit QQ Let’s see how people review this restaurant “Overall establishment is small, so expect to take your drink to-go. Walk-in and place your order on a kiosk, tip is automatically applied to order (but can be adjusted), place order, give it about 3-5 minutes, and your drink will be ready. My first time ordering bubble tea, grabbed the Matcha with Mango boba, and while I would have liked the matcha just a pinch sweeter, I would def order it again. Mango was delish.” —York P. “I've walked by Vivi Bubble Tea a million times and yesterday I finally decided to give them a try. So happy I did! We ordered the honeydew milk tea with bubbles and Oreo crème brûlée milk tea with bubbles and both were so good!! Bubble tea can be either hit or miss and this place is definitely a hit! The honeydew had the perfect amount of sweetness but could have used a bit more honeydew flavor. The Oreo crème brûlée was unlike any other milk tea I've ever had. So flavorful and such a unique taste! The Oreo and smooth milk tea flavors are a perfect combo. Will definitely be ordering this again!” —Salina R. “I ordered for the first time today from Vivi bubble tea. Normally, I go for a Taro tea (slush if available) but I decided to try something new. Instead, I ordered a thai milk tea, full sweetness, full ice, with boba. It was delicious! I would definitely recommend Vivi they were super quick and I'm looking forward to trying some other flavors soon.” —Rebecca K.

Food popular here * Japanese Matcha Strawberry Latte * Brown Sugar Bubble Tea Latte * Assam Milk Tea Let’s see how people review this restaurant “4.5/5, rounded to 5/5 Is boba just better outside of Chicago? These boba places seem to indicate it's a possibility. I loved the tea flavor, the fact that it was not overly sweet. I especially loved the brown sugar tea latte, and I only tried a few sips. The tapioca was only okay, but the rest of the drink was very solid. Highly recommend!” —Peter S. “Fun little hangout in downtown Evanston, I ordered an egg waffle original and matcha. Crunchy, chewy center and enough flavor to snack on it's own. Especially the matcha flavor. I also tried the black sugar tea boba and I was delighted that it was customizable, I asked for less sugar and it was perfect for me.  The lunch bentos look great, I will have to go again for more of the menu. I only wish parking was easier around there, and they didn't have my favorite coffee boba, but the black sugar tea was very nice.” —Brianna P. “This place so far is my favorite bubble tea spot in the North Shore. Everything is so customizable to fit your preferences! The milk is real milk and not powder. You can pick what type of milk you want to add and the sweetness of the drink.

I went out of my way to a suburban food truck festival to catch this truck and it was so worth it! 10/10 would recommend” —Samantha F. “Jeff catered lunch for our office of 20 and it was fantastic! We ordered the Pork Belly, Shrimp, and Chicken Baowiches and they were delicious. Kimcheesy rice balls are HIGHLY recommended (especially if you like a little kick!) - thanks for a great meal, Jeff, we loved the food and supporting your local business!” —Daisy A.

I got the chicken steak bento box. Yum everything from the chicken steak to the sides are good. We all got boba as well. As a Taiwanese, I would say they're very authentic. My vegetarian friends also enjoy their food very much. I don't remember what they got though.” —Lily W. “This is my go to spot for lunch! They have great combos and so many different options for boba. The chicken steak is to die for and so are the fish balls! Staff is super friendly too. Definitely one of my favorite boba places.” —Geneva R. “Hello Jasmine is one of my favorite boba places in Chicago. I'm so glad a Lincoln Park location finally opened up so I don't have to make a long haul all the way to Chinatown to get some boba. My go-to boba is their brown sugar milk tea (50% sugar) and their peach green tea. Tapioca is always fresh and chewy. If you're hungry, I recommend getting some of their popcorn chicken.

We got their famous uni cream udon and a seafood tomato cream udon that was on their special menu. The taste was almost indescribable. So much umami and creaminess. Honestly wished I could have gotten seconds because it was sooooo good. My partner also really enjoyed his meal. They seem to be a really popular place and there's usually a wait by the time it opens so get here early. The staff members are also extremely nice. It's 100% worth the wait.

"Great place, excellent Sushi and veggies - possibly the best eggplant I ever had, with the most excellent service and a great vibe. However, in their price range, they should devote a little more love to the bathrooms - and sadly, the wagyu was waaay to salty and overcooked - a no-go at $75. I will surely go again, and maybe they will improve and get five stars. They certainly have the potential for it, even by my high standards."—Guido K. "amazing! 10/10 highly recommend. the food, the vibes, the drinks- did not miss at all. my friends and i tried a little bit of everything and we had no complaints. i need to come back as soon as possible! only thing i will say is they should up their dessert game but other than that, the experience we had was perfect."—Amauri M.

Food popular here * Shiizakana * Zensai * Mushimono Let’s see how people review this restaurant "After trying for years to get reservations it was super exciting to finally get a table (we got it via waitlist and would recommend the same).  Not going to go course by course as stated many times the food is spectacular, with each course extremely well executed.  The couple of things that really stood out: duck liver macaroon and dashi were above any other variations I have had in the past.  My biggest complaint is I did not get more macaroons in the take home dessert.  The service was friendly and interactive and made you feel right at home.  Will definitely come back assuming I can get reservations again."—Erik L. "Still the best of the best! I actually think n/naka deserves a 3 Michelin star given the quality of Michelin star restaurants in LA (very low obviously). Best service, best food (both taste and the presentation). Love this season's menu, everything was pretty, besides my all time favorite abalone pasta, we tried this scallop yesterday that was very delicious! Everything else was good as usual, but that scallop really stood out! Please refer to pictures."—Jasmine J. "Every single bite was absolutely divine and delicious. From the outside it's unassuming in the middle of a neighborhood. Super quaint inside with 5-6 tables in total with nobody at the bar as it looked closed.

This was also my first time trying out Okonomiyaki and to be honest, I am glad that I did. The food was amazing. I definitely would go here again with my friends and family. For the price, you get a lot of food. Service is not bad as well."—Arthur C. "I was curious about this place. The okonomiyaki I feel like was alright. I've had better ones. The takoyaki was pretty good if you like the inside to be a little more running/watery side. I feel like the price for the food is on the more expensive side, but I wasn't quite impressed by the flavors of the okonomiyaki. Nevertheless, it's a nice shop for Japanese street food and I'm glad it's available."—Helen Y. "I went with the classic, and was grateful that they were more than accommodating of dietary restrictions and were willing to make the okonomiyaki vegetarian by excluding meat, and even asked if the fish powder was okay for me or if they should remove that as well. It was definitely something different for me, but the crispy noodle with the egg and cabbage and sauce was a really delicious lunch. Everyone I was with loved their meals as wel."—Daniel B.

Please order the yuzu sparkling drink! Will definitely come back again!"—Paige M. “It was mid-afternoon and we were really hungry. Hatch had an intriguing menu, so we hoofed it over there with the help of the maps app. Our waiter walked us through the menu explaining that the plates were for sharing and each person should order 2-4 yakatori skewers. My personal faves were the black chicken karaage and the onigiri. I was, however, disappointed in the lack of seaweed on my grilled onigiri despite the illustration in the menu which was wrapped in seaweed.”—Allie C.

Highly recommend."—Tiffany F. "OBSESSED WITH THIS PLACE. Could eat here everyday, sometimes we do multiple times a week haha. Go before 3oclock to get AYCE.

Grab a little chili sauce, sesame sauce, garlic, green onions, and peppers, mix it with an egg yolk and enjoy with any of the meats! The drinks are also delicious.

YAZAWA YAZAWA is a Japanese restaurant that is known for its famous cuts of Japanese "A5" WAGYU beef. The in-house butchers at YAZAWA guarantee quality above all else. The YAZAWA experience is dedicated to serving the best WAGYU beef Japan has to offer. Food popular here * YAZAWA - Yaki * Beef Tongue * Garlic Japanese Wagyu Rice Let’s see how people review this restaurant "One of my favorite Japanese BBQ places in LA. We got the base set meal, which comes with a trio of appetizers and meats. We ordered a side of the garlic rice (highly recommend). The waiter was busy so we grilled the meats ourselves, which meant some of the meat ended up over cooked or undercooked. However, service has always been great here in my experience. The meat is always fresh and well seasoned. However, I always recommend getting additional sides/salad/rice as the food is very heavily and oily. Parking is easy with street parking and public parking lots."—Brian C. "They are famous for the A5 Japanese Wagyu Beef. Their A5 is not frozen, really good, very fresh. The sad thing is that due to US Customs and regulation reasons, they don't have A5 beef tongue and harami. But the US ones are also good enough. The oxtail soup and the special rice are really good too, great compliments with the A5 course. Here is my advice for someone who thinks A5 is too fatty, try their shabu shabu store called IMA, which is right next to yazawa."—Skye S. "This place is worth every penny. My fiancé and I came here for our anniversary and we each got the Yazawa Omakase. The meat is amazing and literally melts in your mouth!! Would recommend to everyone. Also would highly recommend that you order sake. They let you pick out your sake glasses from a really cool collection!"—Thomas S.

8 French restaurants in Auckland that always got my attention

8 French restaurants in Auckland that always got my attention

"Impossible n’est pas français." in Auckland, New Zealand. 1. Crêpes A Go-Go This shop is the perfect place to come and take the time to eat a fabulous crêpe on the spot. You will be able to seat and relax here while enjoying your treat! The shop offers a wide variety of both sweet and savory crêpes, so there's something for everyone to enjoy. The friendly staff are always on hand to help, and the relaxed atmosphere makes it the perfect place to sit back and enjoy your crêpe. Food popular here * Banana loving Crepes with NUTELLA * Pear Nutella and nuts * Sun dried tomato and mushroom galette Let’s see how people review this restaurant “In the Ponsoby area, this is the perfect place to grab a quick snack or a light breakfast before you get going. They have a small stall in the food market and an expansive menu of sweet and savory crepes. I went with a simple passion fruit curd crepe, while my boyfriend was more adventurous with a maple and bacon topped crepe. The base crepe is thin, light, and only just slightly sweet (which I think is pretty good, as far as crepes go). The passion fruit curd was delightfully tart and was, in my opinion, a perfect topping. To add even more to your experience, they serve the crepe on a wood block with a dainty pizza cutter for what can only be described as an instagram-able plating experience.” — Laura S. “I think half the fun is watching the creeps be made. It's like an art in itself. The only other place I've had a crepe was in France, and these were just as wonderful. The only downside is having too many options. No matter what I were to choose, there'd be someone ordering a different sweet or savory that I'd wished I'd ordered. In this case, I was craving something sweet and got the strawberrys and caramel Nutella...then saw the "savory" ham, cheese, egg and carmalized onion one my brother bought and wanted to switch when he wasn't looking. I guess the solution to my dilema would be to go in a group and order a bunch of sweet or savory, then share. The location of Crepes a gogo is right on the water and in the middle of everything so you can also order pizza or nachos right next door and make a meal of it all.” — Laura C. “I love this place ! I go here often, especially  when I am on the run and needing somethin quick and easy. It was the last & first place I visited when I travelled overseas for a few months... I missed it THAT much.” —Keryn F. Restaurant Info * https://www.crepesagogo.co.nz/ * 021 952 323 * 136-138 Ponsonby Rd Ponsonby Central Auckland 1011 New Zealand 2. The Engine Room They always cook with seasonal ingredients, sourcing them from local growers or growing them themselves whenever possible. While using high-quality produce and employing skilled cooking techniques are essential to creating great dishes, they believe that the best meals are also about the overall experience. Every dish is inevitably connected to a memory, such as where you ate it, who you were with, the surroundings, the weather, or the ambience. All of these factors contribute to the taste of a dish. Food popular here * Rabbit rillette * Confit duck with grilled peach, Israeli Couscous and babaganoush * Cheese soufflé Let’s see how people review this restaurant “We took the ferry from Auckland to Northcote and walked up to the Engine Room. What a great spot! As expected, We thoroughly enjoyed the soufflé as a starter. For our mains, we had the duck (delicious) and the snapper (fine but not out of this world). We split the panna cotta for dessert, which was amazing! The wine list tended toward the pricey, but we found a Pinot Gris that we both enjoyed.” — Jason L. “Everything they say about the twice baked goat soufflé is true! A classy local joint for a romantic dinner or a culinary trailer for a Bridgeway cinema experience. Great cocktails and wine list and helpful staff. Worth a sunset trek over the bridge.” — Hiran T. “The Engine Room offers a great dining experience. It's not a formal, stiff, high end place with lots of carefully thought out areas and an excruciatingly well-paid interior designer. It is a high end restaurant with an open plan, a view into the kitchen, a chalk board menu, lots of ambience and amazing food. I had the Steak frites (steak and chips in French) which were absolutely to die for, followed by an extravagant chocolate dessert. Probably my daily food budget, both calorific and monetary, in one meal, but it was definitely worth it.” — Sarah B. Restaurant Info * https://www.engineroom.net.nz/ * 09 480 9502 * 115 Queen St Northcote Point Auckland 0627 New Zealand 3. Sidart Sidart believes in using the best seasonal produce and ingredients from growers and farmers in the Auckland region and throughout New Zealand. They work with local suppliers to source exceptional ingredients that form the basis of their contemporary menu. Their ever-changing menu is inspired by the seasons and the availability of fresh produce. Owner and executive chef Lesley Chandra draws on his Fijian Indian roots to create dishes that are vibrant and full of flavor. Their wine list features some of the best regional vineyards of New Zealand as well as internationally recognized producers. They offer warm, personable service and welcome you to join them at their table. Food popular here * Salad,Sorbet, Freeze-dried elements: avocado, cucumber, sweet secrets * Faijoa, cardamom, raspberry, chocolate * Cucumber sorbet and cucumber slices Let’s see how people review this restaurant “I need to give 6 stars seriously. The food is so so good over my expectation. The 2 and half hour lunch ( well organised timing) I had fish, venison, beef and other 2 dishes for 5 course just cost me $65 dollars, unbelievable for the service and quality of the food! I go to good restaurants every year at my birthday for a good meal compared to those Michelin restaurants the cost of a great meal in Auckland is just 1/4. Last time went to Grove was great too a bit more fency but I like Sidart now , it's fantastic. Recommend for a special occasion you won't be disappointed. Love it.” — Pearl L. “I was really excited to finally try Sidart's Tasting Menu. The waitress was great. My partner and I had the 5 course and they gave us different dishes so we could try a bit of everything. The service was impeccable and the food almost as good as the waitress. Can't wait to go there again once their menus have changed.” — Evelyn W. “Phenomenal experience and food. Our server, Katie, was both very knowledgeable and professional. She also went out of her way to ensure our experience was as good as possible. The fixed menu is rotating so there's not much use in going into details on the food -- suffice to say everything was excellent. Would definitely recommend doing at least one wine pairing for the table as it really completes the experience.” — Aaron B. Restaurant Info * https://www.sidart.co.nz/ * +64 9 360 2122 * 283 Ponsonby Rd Ponsonby Auckland 1011 New Zealand 4. Sid At The French Cafe Sid and Chand Sahrawat are the husband and wife team behind Sid at The French Café. They purchased the iconic restaurant in September 2018 from its previous owners with the intention of maintaining the high standards of food and service The French Cafe has become known for. Food popular here * Venison tartare * Deconstructed dessert * Canneloni of crab Let’s see how people review this restaurant “What else is there to say others have not already said? How about this? We were seated at the table right next to the pass and we were able to watch Chef Sid our whole meal. Great service and delicious food, a very pleasant experience all around. Great thing is that we happened upon this restaurant sort of by accident since it's hard to find on Yelp and did not come up in our search initially. Even better was that it was literally two blocks from our Airbnb. We ordered a la carte and were very pleased to be given four different amuse bouches to start. The service was impecable, food delicious and ambiance romantic. Great way to start a special anniversary trip!” — Betty C. “Armed with a very generous gift voucher we arrived at 'Sid at the French Cafe' to be greeted by a group of welcoming staff . Our table was in the gazebo area of the restaurant facing an internal garden court yard warmed by a fire and gas heaters. The waiting staff were amazing their polished appearance matched their attentive polished performance. We chose the four course meal after discussing portion sizes as the aim was to enjoy the food but not to excess. Each course contained the elements of taste , texture , colour freshness and in true Sid-Art style huge visual appeal. Good use was made of the on-site vegetable/ herb garden to enhance the plate. The whole experience was amazing and we could see the care , time and thought that went into every dish. Fine dining at its best. Wine selection was huge and international however we chose NZ, appropriate at this time. A place to go for a very special occasion.” —Sandra H. “I ordered their tasting menu. The snacks  are all good and I like the lettuce the most. The sauce for kingfish ceviche and butter poached crayfish is a little salty. The lamb was perfectly cool, right enough pink, juicy, yummy yummy~~” — Vivian Y. Restaurant Info * https://www.sidatthefrenchcafe.co.nz/ * 09 377 1911 * 210 Symonds St Auckland 1010 New Zealand 5. The Grove The Grove is a modern New Zealand restaurant that offers degustation dining that changes frequently with seasonality and market availability. It offers full vegetarian and vegan options and can accommodate any dietary requirement. It is an award-winning restaurant where food and wine come together passionately. Food popular here * Prawn with chorizo * Fish rubbed with black garlic, sweet corn puree, charred corn, and a clam * Stone fruit dessert course Let’s see how people review this restaurant “Huge kudos to the Grove's groovy team for going above & beyond, especially the kitchen team working hard behind the scenes & Megan(?) the sommelier. They have a great passion in each of respective fields, are knowledgeable & observant without being overbearing or pretentious, particularly when it came to explaining the dishes coming out of the kitchen. A warm ambiance, well balanced & presented dishes & a wine list that will make you feel like a child in a candy store- everything you want. My partner who doesn't like meringue, feijoa or licorice loved her absinthe flamed dessert, assembled at the table. The chef's choice petite degustation was flavoursome, exciting, filling & accompanied by delightful amuse-bouches. Thank you for making us feel extra special on our anniversary weekend, we will definitely return.” — Te Rangi R. “Perfect place to celebrate an occasion with your loved one. The grove is more of an experience rather than a restaurant. We sat at this place for around 3.5 hours mainly due to the way they serve food here and the type of degustation we chose. We went for the the full degustation was which was 7 courses. The courses were small so we didn't feel fed up by the end of it which was good. Between each course you should expect to spend between 5-10 min for the next course which is why I'm saying it's more of an experience here rather than a restaurant. Our favorite dishes were the fish (6th course) and the steak (7th course) plus the soufflé which was one of the three desserts we got. A bit pricey but worth it if you have a special occasion” — Khaled A. “THEIR BEEF FILLET IS THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD! Extremely tender and fresh. The service here is just excellent. We felt the pork belly is of too much fat and they quickly replace it with another off menu dish. Food here makes you feel the nature. They present you with the fundamental taste of each ingredient. Overall a very good experience. Will definitely come again.” — Yubo Z. Restaurant Info * https://thegroverestaurant.co.nz/ * 09 368 4129 * Wyndham St St. Patricks Square Auckland 1010 New Zealand 6. Le garde-manger Le Garde Manger Queen street opened in January 2010. Situated near the top of Queen, it is ideal place to go for a meal before a concert at the Auckland Town Hall or Aotea square. They do a prompt and efficient service, usually entree and main or main and dessert with drinks within an hour.

The dining room upstairs can host up to 45 guests, set menus are available for groups. A vegetarian dish can be added. They appreciate one set menu for the whole group, but payment can be split. Food popular here * French onion soup * Ham, egg and cheese crepe * Mushroom, creme crepe with chicken Let’s see how people review this restaurant “Came from the US, this place was close to where we had lunch. We popped in for a dessert crepe and a coffee. Service was prompt and very courteous. We had a crepe Mont Blanc with the poached pear and almonds. It was very delicious! I can't say much more since that's all we had but the rest of their menu looked very enticing!!” — Lucie W. “Jetlagged out of our minds we wanted a quiet breakfast/brunch w good coffee-This cute little place hit the spot. Relaxing, well located, pleasant service & one sweet one savory crepe for us. Steady stream of customers but not unpleasantly crowded dinner options on the board looked quite good- would b nice to check out” — Neleh H. “Great authentic French food!! Nice ambiance! Dinner was conveniently located near our hotel at VR Queen Street!” — Belle A. Restaurant Info * http://www.legardemanger.co.nz/ * 09 362 0655 * 466 Queen St Auckland 1010 New Zealand 7. La Tropezienne French Bakery - Browns Bay Food popular here * Chorizo sausage omelette * Religieuse Coffee * Palmier Let’s see how people review this restaurant “simple casual french foods made well. Their sandwiches run out the fastest... Lunchtime and there's only two flavours left. Next would be their desserts and pastries, those babies fly out the door. My favourites so far are the chocolate eclairs and basically all their sandwiches lol... their ficelle are simple ingredients but the bread makes it something else. Their chicken sandwich roll has the yummiest pesto inside and the bread for this was similar to a giant soft pretzel with rock salt on top... made the sandwich THAT much better... pretty much what im saying is, their fresh baked breads/goods are AMAZING. their Baguettes sell out fast so get in quick! That chocolate eclair though.... that chocolaty mousse like texture inside and the glorious puff pastry outside.. wow. i could eat 10 of those... i mean... that's what gym is for, right? Go earlier! like, before 11am to get all the REAL goodies that sell out super fast as these guys are ALWAYS busy no matter what time it is.” — Aimee J. “If you want to treat yourself to a good breakfast and a great coffee, then La Tropezienne French Café is the place to go on a Saturday morning. Don't let the parking lot front scare you off, once you're inside it is pure France. The smell of fresh baking fills the air, and the hot chocolate is almost mesmerizing. The pricing is not cheap, but the quality of the food is good, and after all it will be the atmosphere that will promote you to regular status. My favourite is the éclairs, but there are plenty of other desserts to choose from. What I liked about this place, was that I could bring my dog along, and we could both enjoy the sunshine outside.” — David M. “These days you can buy croissants and french sticks any old where! But it's not until you devour one from a genuine French bakery that you realize how unexceptional they are. La Tropezienne is exactly the place that makes you turn your nose up at run of the mill croissants from your average local bakery. My friends and I call it "The French Bakery" simply because we are too lazy to try and pronounce the name properly. Which is a bit sad as we all took French in high school. My first memory of La Tropezienne is actually back in my French class days. As part of our learning we were to venture to Browns Bay to experience food the way the French do it. We were also supposed to be practicing the language but who cares about that when you get to ditch school for a feed!? Anway, this started my addiction and ever since I have been nurturing my weakness for the delicious (and so fatty) pain au chocolat!! To this day that's about the only french that has stuck with me... PAIN AU CHOCOLAT.. YUM!!” — Amy M. Restaurant Info * http://latropezienne.co.nz/ * 09 478 8798 * 92 Clyde Rd Auckland 1051 New Zealand 8. Augustus by Mudbrick Augustus by Mudbrick has a seasonal produce-driven menu with the passion and insight of Chef Logan Coath. Augustus by Mudbrick has an unequivocal focus on provenance and access to some of the finest, sustainable, interesting New Zealand products. The Hou Hora Pork to the Clevedon Buffalo Blue, there is a story behind every ingredient, and Chef Logan has designed a menu to bring these stories to life. Food popular here * Beef bourguignon * Madeleine * Duck liver parfait Let’s see how people review this restaurant “The north of Ponsonby eventually creates a decent place to dine. Yes you will attracted by the perfect transformed "Old Ponsonby post office" into a bistro Augustus, named for the postmaster, Augustus Edward Braithwaite. And it won't be too difficult for locals to find out this new venture is a contribution from SPQR Owner Chris and his daughter Courtney Rupe to Ponsonby vividness. Entering the high-ceiling lounge, expecting yourself in a tropical resort, surrounded by greenery with a courtyard extended your dining imagination. Perfect for most of Auckland's beautiful blue sunny days. In between, you will find yourself sitting in a cream and chocolate interior dressed in white linen.  Simple, smart and classy. Menu is focused in French bistro bites, you won't be surprised by meeting escargot, king crab cocktail, crab bisque, French onion soup, steak tartare. As for the main, from fish to pork belly, from Confit duck to veal cordon bleu, what's more you can even get treated by special Beef bourguignon,  beef wellington. Yes what more can you expect? Crab bisque serves warm with  a heap of white flesh in the middle with a hint of basil taste. However, I prefer they have it served in front of customers, just adding a sense of warmness. The duck liver parfait with wine jelly is a bit average and dull, if the toasted bread could be a better quality sourdough or baguette to pair with. Bread is pale speaking of a proper bistro for Augustus. However, this is soon saved by Beef bourguignon, which is perfectly done putting time and efforts in the whole dish. Every bite is enjoyable. Soft tender beef texture, crispy pancetta, juicy shallots, all the ingredients are cooked in a beautiful balance. They nailed this classic dish. Then the yellow belly flounder is comparatively  less scored even with its crab mayonnaise dressing. The rhubarb tarte tatin and creme brulee for dessert is a perfect choice for most people. I do go for a bit old-fashioned, the humble Madeleines with lemon curd and cream. Baked to order, within 7 minutes, it came out freshly to your tastebud. Trust me, you wouldn't find a better lemon curd to match this happy ending. Deserves a second and third visit, for sure, Augustus has more to come in the pipeline.We just wish the summer would never go away.” — Angel D. “Had lunch here and thoroughly enjoyed the atmosphere - beautiful old building. Friendly and attentive service. Decent food.” — Alison H.

Here are the 9 Best Korean Food Restaurants in Vancouver we recommend! 1. Sura Korean Cuisine SURA is a Korean restaurant in Vancouver that has been providing an excellent dining experience to food connoisseurs since 2008. The restaurant has a modern interior with a traditional Korean atmosphere. The food is authentic and contemporary Korean cuisine by master chef Sang-jo Han. Food popular here * Pork Belly * Set Course Ra * Kimchi Fried Rice Let’s see how people review this restaurant "We stumbled into Sura Korean Cuisine for a Saturday lunch not knowing anything about the restaurant.  A NYC dining experience at JUA turned us on to Korean food, but we had no idea how to order.  Fortunately, the 25 Canadian dollar set lunch took ordering out of the equation, and we told the kind and welcoming servers to bring it on. Holy Gopchang!  This set lunch was amazing.  Dishes kept arriving, and kept arriving, we didn't have enough room on the table.  I was bamboozled, having no idea this was what Sura's set lunch was all about.  We had no clue what was being served, but almost everything was delicious, and I mean orgasmically delicious.  Our favorites: The fried fish, Kimchi pancake, Spicy Sliced Pork, Potato Noodle, Deep Fried Fish, Deep Fried Sweet and Sour Pork, and Soy Bean Paste Soup.  My least favorite was the Pork Belly, but that's my personal taste.   Each server was infinitely patient with my multitude of questions. and I was overly excited about the food.  I had a wonderful time, and I loved the food.  Sura Korean Cuisine was a memorable dining experience."—Phil G. "Love it here. Came up to Vancouver for the day with a couple friends and this was our first stop. We ordered lots of little things, not to mention all the banchan, and our table was very eclectic. Cool decor on the inside and great for groups!"—Bennett S. ''Food was very delicious. Portions are good too, four dishes was just the right amount for five people. The meat was very tender, falls off the bone very easily, slightly sweet. Seafood pancake had the right amount of crunch. Bossam wrap had well seasoned pork belly.'—Pauline S. Restaurant Info * https://www.surakoreancuisine.com/ * (604) 687-7872 * 1518 Robson Street Vancouver, BC V6G 1C3 Canada 2. PiDGiN At PiDGiN, they believe that a restaurant can be both beautiful and comfortable. They believe that cuisine can be at once delicate and approachable. They believe that dining perspectives have changed, and that the line between east and west has changed. Their experiences travelling and working in various continents is reflected in their food, bar, and even on their walls. Food popular here * Rice Bowl * Foie Gras * Korean Rice Cake Let’s see how people review this restaurant "This cute, hip place has my favorite cocktail of anywhere. Try the one eyed samurai and you will be forever changed. So delicious! Every time I visit Vancouver I hit up this place for this drink. It's always an enjoyable time to sit at the bar and sip on this watermelon flavored masterpiece. (And yes, you do have to go through a sketchy area to get there, but it's worth it.)"—Autumn M. "Frightening location. Amazing, fun, creative food that is designed with love and imagination. Here are the pro tips: 1) order the tasting menu 2) on a weeknight 3) at the very start of service (around 5 pm). 4) Sit at the kitchen window booth. We did this and got served by the restaurateur himself. He provided us amazing commentary on each course and it's wine pairing, including the personal stories of the vintners and their wineries. Expect unique, sometimes challenging dishes. That's the fun of it! This is a culinary adventure, not Tim Horton's. Disregard the obtuse, buffoonish negative reviews ( Crystal G.), PiDGiN is the real deal."—Ian K. "Amazing service, delicious cocktails, and incredible food. If you're visiting Vancouver, do yourself a favor: make a reservation here and do the tasting menu. The lamb sirloin was unbelievably good!"—Johnny M. Restaurant Info * http://www.pidginvancouver.com * (604) 620-9400 * 350 Carrall Street Vancouver, BC V6B 2J3 Canada 3. So Hyang Korean Cuisine So Hyang is a Korean restaurant that introduces Canadians to the wonderful flavors of Korean cuisine. They offer a range of traditional Korean dishes at a reasonable price. The restaurant has a modern and chic atmosphere that is both fun and stylish. Some of their most popular dishes include Bibimbap and BBQ Short Ribs. Whether you are dining alone or with a group, you are sure to enjoy your evening out at So Hyang. Food popular here * Spicy Pork Bulgogi * Short Rib Galbi * Beef Bulgogi Let’s see how people review this restaurant "My family and I loved this place so much we came here two nights in a row! We ordered the ox bone soup (both days), seafood pancake, tang suyuk, and the bossam. You get very decent portion sizes (especially the seafood pancake - it's huge and can easily feed 4 people) for the price. Their bossam is seasoned super well and is tender too. I came around 7pm both days and didn't have to wait too long (at most 10 minutes). It is pretty small and cozy inside so if you have a large party, so expect to wait a bit more. I'd definitely come back again, especially for their bossam! They also accept credit card here!"—Liona L. "Their portions are huge! The sundubu has a lot of tofu in their -- very generous! A lot of mushrooms on the vegetable soup as well. It cones with rice. I love their banchan too! When we were there they had the potatoes (in sweet sauce), kimchi, seaweed, and fish cake  they have freeflow barley tea."—Esther Y. "Seriously great place for lunch. Their food is delicious with decent portion size and variety of options on the menu that includes nice soupy options fitting for the cold weather. Covid measures wise, we had to leave our name/number at the front, vaccine passports checked, plastic hanging barriers between tables, QR code scan for menu, and servers masked up. Food wise, I got the Lunch Set Pork Bulgogi - Little Spicy and it was just enough spicy for me!  (I've tried Medium before and it was too much for me.)  The pork had good, strong flavors. The rice cakes was a good contrast on this dish to counter all the spice. I'm craving it again as I write this. As usual, it came with 4 complimentary refillable side dishes that were also delicious. My friend got the Duk Mandu Guk which came in a giant bowl filled with gyozas that she said was good but the beef broth was a bit underseasoned, but maybe intended that way. They have an online menu you can order take out directly from them too and choose your pickup time."—Mandy T. Restaurant Info * http://www.sohyang.ca * (604) 729-0702 * 6345 Fraser Street Vancouver, BC V5W 3A3 Canada 4. TAKO TAKO is a Korean taco shop that serves tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and poutines with a unique Korean flavour! What is a Korean taco you ask? It's a flour tortilla filled with delicious Korean BBQ! They're located in the heart of Vancouver at the Stadium/Chinatown skytrain stop directly across from Rogers Arena on Expo Boulevard. Pass by them to grab some tacos on your way to the game, or come hang out on their outdoor patio with friends after a concert! Food popular here * Bulgogi Burrito * Spicy Rice Cake * Fried Chicken Let’s see how people review this restaurant "Food- delicious korean Mexican fusion, with variety of options. *Bulgogi burrito- good meal size. Looks small but heavy. Comes with a few chips, though were a tad stale. i would get this again. *3 tacos (shrimp, bulgogi and Kalbi) - prefer Bulgogi, meat soft and tender. Shrimp was lightly fried, slightly a little watery, but overall good,  Kalbi tasted similar to Bulgogi, but the meat was chewier. * rice cakes on the sticks- one soy, and one spicy. I can live without these carbs. If I can handle spicy, I prefer that one, slightly more flavor. Service- fair, nice. Ambiance - handful of seats, inside and outside. Though outside (Early April) was pretty cold and dirty at the time. Locations next to Chinatown train station, directly across from Rogers arena, facing Expo Blvd. Super easy by foot if you're in downtown. Less than a minute walk to Costco, so consider eating here with next Chinatown Costco trip! Value- fair! Recommend- YES!"—Helene L. "New to Korean fusion but I am a big fan of burritos. Tacofino has been a lunch time favorite of mine, but I wanted to try something new. Visited TAKO for the first time today intending to try the Bulgogi Burrito.  I ended up trying BBQ Short Rib Burrito on recommendation of the person serving me. I was very impressed! The BBQ Short Rib Burrito was big on taste and filling. I will definitely be back to try some of their other offerings."—Christian C. "Have seen a few stores that have done the Korean/Mexican fusion idea, but none in Vancouver that execute as well as TAKO. Nestled right by the south western entrance of Stadium Chinatown Skytrain Station, this place is great option for takeout on the way over to a meeting or on the way home. The bulgogi burrito is a nice balance of all the delicious Korean meats in flavours packed into a burrito (everything from kimchi, corn, lettuce, cheese + the meat of your choice). For $12 they are packing a lot into this meal and I was pretty content after one of these burritos I got to-go.

Food popular here * Korean Fried Chicken * Lettuce Wrap * Fried Rice Cakes Let’s see how people review this restaurant "Good korean bistro vibe, really big dine in space indoors. The fried chicken was good and comes with fried rice cakes (which was actually my favourite part, more than the chicken!). The only thing missing are the amount of side dishes. They could have served them right at the beginning. But I get the side dishes only comes with the combo sets, which we got the Salisbury steak and pork. The combos also come with rice as well. Overall, not a bad spot for Korean bistro fair. I would go back again."—Bill L. "It was a great night with very delicious food,  warm and friendly staff and good prices.  We ordered 3 dishes. Big portions!   thank you"—Banafshe A. "You can't tell from the outside, but on the inside the place is gigantic. On the immediate left is a smaller more cozy dining area.

We were promptly seated and our server was polite and diligent. We ordered the combo for two and quickly had a plethora of sides brought to our table. Shortly after the meat was brought out and our server was laying it on the grill. A number of servers watched over us and helped us know when something on the grill was ready and got the next course started. The whole process was efficient. The sides were divers and delicious. The meat was flavourful and perfectly cooked thanks to the help of the wait staff. I definitely will be returning."—Adam S. "Love how they give 15 banchan (side dishes) when you order from their BBQ menu. Enjoyed the variety since most places only offer two or three (plus, they were refillable). We ordered the bbq combo so it came with the banchan and doenjang jjigae. We were beyond stuffed by the end of our meal. Service was also amazing because their staff was very attentive. Highly recommend you make a reservation if you come here because they can get really busy."—Nina T. "Loved it here. Incredible food and service. Our waiter was on top of all our needs (ie. replenishing the side dishes and changing the grill when it was getting too burnt).

The korean fried chicken wrap was delicious too."—Wilson L.

I am not a tofu person but their Tofu rice bowl is finger licking good. There is not just rice but also edamame beans, pickled cabbage, greens and corn in it. I had also ordered their friend chicken and even that was delicious and super crispy. I would absolutely recommend checking out this place's tofu rice bowl if you are even in Vancouver"—Neha R.

"A bit of a wait (you have to scan their QR code to get onto the waitlist) but luckily there's the Candy Room nearby and some benches to pass the time! We were seated about 45 mins after. We ordered the pork belly BBQ and the dakbal. Both were delicious and the portion size was more than enough for 2! The dakbal was spicy but we kept going back for more. The staff were super friendly and didn't seem too frazzled even though the restaurant was insanely busy. Will definitely be back but will be more prepared for the wait."—Tram V. "We went on a Saturday evening and didn't have to wait for a party of 3 people. We order the pork feet and bossam set and the mushroom bulgogi hotpot. The pork feet was pretty spicy since we don't have good spice tolerance but it was really tasty. The bossam was alright, I think I liked the flavor and the texture of the pork feet more since it was softer and more flavorful. The hotpot was my favorite part of the food we ordered. The broth was light but had a lot of flavor. I added some rice into a bowl of broth and it was delicious. The meat and the mushrooms were also pretty good. We definitely got too much for a group of 3 people though so I think this would have been better for a group of four or maybe just get the hotpot for the group of 3 and something else. The price was really good for the amount of food we received. Overall, I would definitely recommend this place if you're craving Korean food."—Alan Z.

10 New York pizza places you would miss the most

Slice, Slice, Baby~ 1. Lombardi's Pizza Gennaro Lombardi came to the United States in 1905 and used his skills as a baker to craft pizza. He learned how to make pizza in Naples and brought that knowledge with him to the United States. Lombardi is credited with developing New York Style pizza. He opened Lombardi's in Little Italy in Manhattan. Lombardi's is known for its coal oven baked pizza. The pizza is topped with purist tomato sauce, fresh whole milk mozzarella, and basil. Food popular here * Clam Pie * Original Margherita Pizza * Buddy's Cake Boss Pizza Let’s see how people review this restaurant “I haven't been to Lombardis in years.  I usually get the Margarita pizza but this time I opted for the Calzone.  You can pick two fillings.  I choose the meatball and sausage with no regrets.  It was delicious! loved the crust and the cheeses was so creamy and fresh.  It was definitely the best calzone I've ever had outside of Modena Italy. I can't wait to try the stromboli the next r time I visit the Soho Nolita area.” —April L. “Pizza was so good! The toppings was amazing, very fresh and not too heavy. Our waitress was so kind and sweet. I would definitely come back!” —Alex N. “Pizza was delicious. Loved pesto pie! Great customer service, quick serve, fun place for pizza. Wish they accept credit card!” —Ji P. Restaurant Info * http://www.firstpizza.com/ * (212) 941-7994 * 32 Spring St New York, NY 10012 2.

Food popular here * Spicy Spring (square ) peperoni cups pie * Vodka Sauce * The Original Prince Pizza Let’s see how people review this restaurant “By far the best pizza in the city. When I treat myself to a cheat meal getting a square pepperoni slice frequently comes to mind. The juxtaposition between the semi spicy pepperoni and sweet dough. Unreal” —Matthew N. “There's always a huge line when I walk by, but if you get the chance, I totally recommend stopping for a square slice of pepperoni! The pizzas get bought up so quickly that there are always fresh pies popping out of that oven. When you get your slice, it's still piping hot and delicious and totally worth the wait. While waiting, you can also take the time to look at the pictures on the wall of famous people who visited the shop before you! Definitely stop by when you're in the Soho area! Fuel up with a delicious slice before you continue shopping. Pop a squat in the garden around the corner. You won't regret it. :)” —Jess K. “I can't believe Ive been to NYC so many times and have not once had this. Have I been living under a rock?! Best recommendation and best pizza of NYC. The square pizza is about $5 a slice and it's well worth it. Although quite greasy due to the pepperoni, it is still delicious and generous with the amount of pepperoni!! The dough is soft and crispy ... Great texture and the sauce is unbelievable! Pizzas are being pumped out nonstop... It'll always be a fresh slice because everyone is buying. A few tables to stand outside and eat. As well as one side table inside.” —Jacqui L. Restaurant Info * http://princestreetpizzanyc.co… * (917) 905-0006 * 27 Prince St New York, NY 10012 3.

Artichoke pizza has is a must try.” —Laylah M. “Probably the best slice of pizza I've ever had. Mind you I had just got done eating dinner when my group of friends walked by this spot and our Yelp Expert friend said we had to try this spot. I always have room for pizza so i ordered a slice of the Artichoke Pizza. Food: I wouldn't want more than a single slice for this pizza, and that isn't a bad thing. The slice is so rich, so creamy and so tasty and it all lives on a thin crispy crust. One slice is all you'll need and be mindful that your eyes might roll back into your head.” —Dominique M. “This is the best pizza that I had in New York and it was in the airport! The crust was nice and thick (but not to thick), the toppings were plentiful and the taste was on point. My only complaint is that I had to rush to eat it.  also, it was pre-made and cooked since it was at the airport, however I can only imagine how great it would taste fresh and hot.” —Adrienne S.

With every bite, I felt a little more water in my eyes from pure joy. The tomato sauce on the slices is what truly sets Di Fara apart from literally any other pizza joint in the NYC area. From the perfect crunch of the crust to the hot & fresh tomatoes & cheese, Di Fara is perfection. You know a pizza place is worth the hype when their plain slice hits the mark every time. Why try any specialty slice when the plain is just THAT good?? Di Fara is just another example of why Brooklyn is the center of the universe.” —Natalie T.

Had the widow maker and the best seller Margarita. Very crispy and delicious crust with good cheese.” —Dennis D.

The restaurant is still family owned and operated. Food popular here * Cheese Pizza * Coal Fired Slice * New York Pizza Let’s see how people review this restaurant “Consistently amazing pie. Worth the hype. The sauce and the cheese are out of this world. Get a regular cheese pie and don't go overboard on toppings, or you'll overpower the fresh tomato and mozz flavor. I go for just a regular cheese and maybe a simple topping like ricotta on half and am never disappointed.” —Jason G. “Wow! What can I say. Dave Portnoy was correct about thing being the best pizza ever. Pizza will never be the same.” —Jay G. “Based on my takeout experience, I have to say this may be one of the top pizza places I've enjoyed in the city. Imo, the pizza has a great balance of cheese and tomato sauce. And that sauce is bottle worthy. I would like to enjoy sitting down and getting the full experience so I can't wait to come back.” —Fatima C.

We had our group of 5 trickle in slowly and B Side was super chill and offered to eat our party early even though we were not yet all present. Moving onto the food. DON HO, KALE SALAD, and CARBONARA. Absolute stand outs. Amazing. You must order. Literally perfection. The Killer Bee was great too, especially with some red pepper flakes added on top.” —Sarah E. “The pizza was really good, the alcoholic strawberry slushie was great, and the brussel sprouts were out of this world. These brussel sprouts were easily one of the best things I've eaten in the past year. If we were at home I guarantee one of us would've licked the bowl clean. Loved the warm and inviting interior, service was great.” —Nancy C. Restaurant Info * https://bsidepizzabar-nyc.com * (646) 679-7225 * 370 W 51st St New York, NY 10019 10.

We lived in Naples, and this pizza - this crust, this sauce, this mozzarella di bufala, this smoked mozzarella - is the best we've had outside of Naples. (And maybe better than some we had IN Naples.) We seek out Neapolitan pizza places wherever we go, and this is a gem - ottimo!” —E. M. “Excellent! To me, they make the best brick oven pizza in the city. It's small and quaint. Our server Badan was wonderful. We've visited twice and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience.” —Paul G. “This pizza is dream worthy.  Personally, I'm a huge fan of homemade mozzarella and thin crust.  My first choice when in the mood for a personal pizza.  You can tell everyone in here is Italian and knows exactly what they're doing with these pizzas.  They're fresh, flavorful, not greasy and have cheese that melts in your mouth.  I love how they have plenty of vegetarian options.  You can also split your pizza and do a different type on each side.  I love the eggplant parm pizza.  Quite fabulous.  I'll be returning.” —Christina S.

I ordered a side of salmon and avocado to put on my toast. Everything was super fresh.The French toast was naturally sweeten. So happy we chose this restaurant instead of the others around the area for breakfast. They no longer have the coconut smoothie.” — Melanie A. “Lots of ambiance, super cute inside. We went for breakfast twice during our stay because the food was so good. The French toast is to DIE for, as was the potato hash with kale and eggs. Make pretty good coffee and drinks as well, and the deconstructed teas on the menu looked quite fun. We're excited to stop by the takeaway counter later for cakes and pastries.” — Bri P. “It helps to have a waitstaff who can give you recommendations. We had some wonderful food: grilled cuttlefish (very and perfectly spicy), a surprising and wonderful salad, the venison shoulder pappardelle, and then - a mediocre salted caramel dessert that we were honest about. So we were brought a much better cheesecake to make up for it ("I prefer this," he let us know) , and a lovely cappuccino. All of this for a very reasonable price and a splendid ambience.(And some unrequested advice: folks, put down your phones and talk to the person at the table with you. They're much more interesting than watching your little TV screen.)” — Dan S.

Lotte City Hotels Jeju Nearby restaurants * Ollae Guksu * Samdajeong * Jamae Guksu Let’s see how people review this Hotel “Great hotel and nice location with easy access from airport and to restaurants and shopping. Value for money as 2 nights here equates to one night at the 5 stars but yet quality and location were not compromised. Clean rooms and prompt refills of towels, bath room amenities, water etc. Hotel staffs were very helpful and generally conversant in English. Like to highlight one staff by the name of Isaac Kim whom helped us a great dear with the check in process as we had issues with our Agoda booking and had to book an additional room.” — Ong PC “Wonderful facility in the hotel room! We were lucky enough to have a free upgrade for our stay! There is a coin laundry facility in the hotel for around 10000KW for cleaning and drying services. There is a Lotte department store next to the hotel which could be good for some shopping. The hotel is about 15 minutes drive away from the market and Black Pork Street.

The background of the sea seen through the windows cannot be expressed in photos. The access to the airport was so good that I didn't have to worry about moving to the airport. The outdoor pool allows you to swim without a swimming cap, and the water temperature is not too low, so it is perfect for night swimming. Other aspects are the same as the strengths of a 5-star hotel.” — lonathe “This is the first family holiday after a prolonged hiatus due to the pandemic. I am glad that i chose Grand Hyatt Jeju. My family of 6 including a Grandma and a child had the most stress-free vacation starting from a smooth check-in. The rooms are modern, spacious and clean. Staff at the Grand Club are friendly and helpful. The weekend just went too fast. I would go back to Jeju just because of the Grand Hyatt and will plan for a longer holiday next time.” — Connector46182244457 “Wonderful hotel with top notch service. My only complaint is with the restaurant China House. Made a reservation early in the morning. Looked forward to Peking Duck for dinner all day long. When placing order waitress asked if we pre-ordered. Nowhere on the website did it mention a pre-order for Peking Duck. Waitress asked chef if he could prepare one for us. He basically dismissed us. We chose another set menu only to notice at the end of dinner a cooked duck hanging in the window.

Only setback, bathroom is very small and no floor mat.” — Linda Y “I spent 4 nights in ocean suites with my friend. Hotel staff is nice and could speak English and mandarin. They are willing to help. Hotel facilities are sufficient. The conditioner and the hair dryer is really good. Hair is smooth after using. Yet, the bathroom glass door could not be closed properly and water would come out and make the floor wet.. should improve on this area.

Amber Resort Jeju Nearby restaurants * Sunny Garden * Gold Handmade Garak * Donsadon Nearby attractions * Halla Arboretum * Hallasan National Park * Mysterious Road (Dokkaebi Road) Let’s see how people review this Hotel “A hidden treasure. Tucked up the hill in a corner of Jeju, this is a fine, quiet resort to relax in. A 20min drive from city centre, 30min drive from airport, Amber resort has beautiful villas and equally charming surroundings (the pictures say it all). Once we checked in (at 8pm+), the floors of the villa were already warmed up to welcome us in the cold night. The rooms were clean, well kept and looked new. Parquet flooring in the living room, warm stone flooring in the bedrooms. There were two bedrooms: one master bedroom with a queen size bed, en suite bathroom (standing bath); one guest room with matteress and blankets to sleep on the floor -- feeling of traditional Korean sleeping style. Fits our small group of 5 adults and 1 toddler nicely. Bedding is comfortable - firm matteress and soft fluffy pillows. Bathrooms are clean and new too. The toilet bowl is the most techy one that i have ever used in a hotel - toilet seat warmer, full controls bidet with blow function, auto-flush etc. The second bathroom outside is similarly equipped. TV in master bedroom. Living room and kitchenette come with standard cooking facilities, though we didn't really use them. There was an automatic espresso machine but they did not manage to top up the coffee beans (only left enough to make one cup) on request..(did not pursue as we were rushing to go out). Nice small balcony looking out to the ranch nearby. Car porch good for parking of 2 cars. Breakfast is simple and decent. Definitely not the 4-5 star hotel kinda spread, but certainly good enough for a filling and satisfying brekkie. Coffee at breakfast is somewhat not as good as the one made with espresso machine in own villa (so we should have repeated the request for beans should we have time). The surroundings of the villa is relaxing and beautiful. Surrounded by mountains and a horse ranch. Big open spaces for my 2.5 year old boy to run around. There is a fully equipped caravan at the corner of the field - seems like it is available for booking for a real stay. Overall splendid experience. Wish we had more time in Jeju. Not a 5/5 star review because - breakfast could be better; would be awesome to have a kids playground at a corner of their huge open place; only accessible with own transport; quite several black crows around.. What we love- the clean and new rooms and the techy fittings; the beautiful open space; the serene surroundings; value for money!” — ckwee13 “The location of the hotel is in the middle of Halla Mountain, the environment is very good, it is very quiet and the scenery is beautiful. The service attitude of the staff is very good, very enthusiastic and attentive, and most of them are Chinese, it doesn't matter if they don't know Korean, and there is no problem with Chinese communication! There is a kitchen in the room, you can make your own meals or order meals, which is very convenient. Hotel breakfast is also very good! Although the hotel transportation is not very convenient, it is only a 15-minute drive from the city, you can take a taxi, and the hotel also has a car to pick up and drop off. Overall it was a great stay experience! ! !” —A Tripadvisor Member “I came to hang out with my friends and the view is so pretty🤘🤘 What if I couldn't go up because it snowed so hard, but I came up without much trouble hehe The room is big, clean and well rested.

The bathroom was large and the shower was clean and worked well. The air conditioning unit was a miracle during the heat wave. The little nation from the room had a nice view and you can hang your clothes if you have wash them. The only thing is that the heat makes the smell of the local farms fertilizer very noticeable. As soon as you walk out or open the patio door, the smell hits you in the face. Overall great experience!” — Mehi1207 “It was my son's friend's birthday, so it was a place where several families gathered and slept together. The main character's birthday family rented a pool villa with a swimming pool, and I rented the most common room. Due to the large swimming pool, the interior was a bit small compared to the size of the pool villa, but it was large enough for several families. It seems that they had a lot of fun while having a barbecue party outdoors, as there was a large table laid out. It's not a very conspicuous place because it's inside from a slightly main road, but there was no difficulty in accessing it by car. There is a convenience store on the first floor and entertainment facilities in the basement, so it was not inconvenient to spend time with family and friends. I woke up late and didn't eat breakfast the next day, but breakfast is also provided, so I think I will be able to stay comfortably even if I come next time. The front staff are also friendly. Check-in and check-out were both convenient.” — 환석 박 “It was clean and tidy. I think it would be good to use it for a family trip. The food is good and the staff are very friendly. The view was so good that I could see both Hallasan Mountain and Gwakji Beach. It was especially nice to be able to feel the scent of Jeju on the way to the entrance of the resort.” — 정배 Restaurant Info * https://ecogreenresort.com/ * +82 64-796-8333 * Hallim-eup, Jeju-si, Jeju-do, Republic of Korea 94 Gwideog6-Gil, Jeju, Jeju Island 63024 South Korea 8.

The hotel was full of couples.” — jimmy t “The inside of the room is neat. Ocean View Room has the best view to enjoy the atmosphere with a cup of coffee.Good to take a walk on the beach. It also has a swimming pool for children to play, so it is suitable for a family trip. No disposable toothbrushes and razors are provided at all lodgings in Jeju Island. This place does not offer an inroom dining service. Room lights and air conditioners are only adjustable on the wall of the entrance of the room, making our uncomfortable.” — Yeonho S “We spent 4 nights at Tamna Stay. The Hotel built in the last couple of years or so is a comfortable, clean and modern tourist class hotel. Our room was reasonably sized and overlooking the seafront which made it quite pleasant - would recommend getting a sea facing room. Missing the small touches such as daily replenishment of toiletries, tea/coffee (tho' understand this is not uncommon in Korea). A good location for striking out for the Shore Road and only 20-25mins from Jeju-si. However a car is a must. Front desk staff were always very friendly and helpful - their reasonable English and our smattering of Korean meant communication was never a problem.” — Denis_J_Mal Restaurant Info * https://tamnastayjeju.southkrhotel.com/ * +82 64-755-7945 * 881, Aewolhaean-ro, Aewol-eup, Jeju, Jeju Island 63050 South Korea You may also be interested in: Cuddle the Canola Flowers Closer 💛: Jeju IslandLooking for a place to travel that has everything you could want?

Enjoy Your Roman Holiday with the Best Summer Savior - Gelato

1. Giolitti The story begins in 1890, when Giuseppe and Bernardina Giolitti opened a dairy in Salita del Grillo, where they sold milk from their own cows grazing in the Roman countryside. Thanks to the quality of its products, the dairy became the supplier for the Royal House in a short time. Food popular here * Chocolate, fior di latte and panna * Melon and strawberry gelato * Milk and dark chocolate Let’s see how people review this restaurant "This is the hands down best gelato we had. Was told by our tour guide to try this place. We came in 9 pm on wed night and it was pretty packed.

It should be Pronounced as "WAH-HAH-KAH" ! 💀: Oaxaca, Mexico

Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Read more ¡Qué bella es Cholula y para muestra el Santuario de la Virgen de los Remedios 💫! Esta iglesia, todo un tesoro arquitectónico, es considerada la más grande de este Pueblo Mágico, ¿lo sabías?#VisitMéxico #Cholula #Puebla pic.twitter.com/n9guCwQjnm — Visit México (@VisitMex) August 15, 2022 Oaxaca(wah-hah-kah) is a state in Mexico that is home to a rich culture, art scene, diverse natural landscape, and delicious cuisine. The state capital, Oaxaca city, is a beautiful and fascinating place, and there are many interesting things to see and do in the surrounding area. From hiking and horseback riding in the Sierra Norte to surfing and swimming in the Pacific Ocean, there is always something suits you well in Oaxaca. But first, start your day archaeologically! 1. Monte Albán Ruins The ancient city of Monte Albán was once the second-largest ceremonial site in Mesoamerica. Today, it is an ruins, but it still boasts an impressive Gran Plaza, ancient ball court, excavated tombs, and astronomical 'observatory'. The site is also home to the mysterious danzantes, carved stone figures thought to depict dead or tortured prisoners of war. 2. Zona Arqueológica de Mitla The ancient ruins of Mitla were once the second-most important Zapotec religious center. The site is home to a number of impressive buildings, including a cult center where high priests performed human sacrifices. The ancient buildings at the site of Mitla were probably reserved for specific occupants, such as the high priest or the king. Today, visitors can see the Grupo de las Columnas (Group of the Columns) and the Grupo del Norte (North Group), both of which are located near the Iglesia de San Pablo. 3. Museo de las Culturas de Oaxaca No more archaeological sites visit! But still curious about the culture of Oaxaca? The Museum of Oaxacan Cultures is one of Mexico's best regional museums. Located in the beautiful monastery buildings adjoining the Templo de Santo Domingo, the museum offers rich displays that take visitors through the history and cultures of Oaxaca state. The museum emphasizes the continuity between pre-Hispanic and contemporary cultures in areas such as crafts, medicine and food. 4. Templo de Santo Domingo Santo Domingo is the most splendid of Oaxaca’s churches, with a finely carved baroque facade and nearly every square centimeter inside decorated in 3D relief with intricate gilt designs swirling around a profusion of painted figures. The 18th-century Capilla de la Virgen del Rosario (Rosary Chapel) is particularly beautiful, and the whole church takes on a magical atmosphere during candlelit evening Mass. No rush, take a small break with artisan pastries and continue your journey. 5. Boulenc Pan Artesano The best bakery in Oaxaca also has a trendy cafe next door, not that surprised but their most popular dish is avocado toast. The cafe has excellent coffee and cakes, and is located in a patio with terrace seating upstairs. 6. Zócalo The Zócalo is the central square in Oaxaca city, and it is a great place to people-watch. The square is surrounded by portales (arcades) and is shaded by tall trees. The adjoining Alameda plaza is also a great place for people-watching, with its trinket-toting vendors, street performers and informal clothes market. By day and night, the square is bustling with life, as marimba ensembles, brass bands and roving buskers float their melodies among the crowds, hawkers try to offload pretty carpets and hideous balloons, and lovers parade in slow rounds under the trees. Give your legs a rest after wandering in the parade, don't just passed by this swanky tasting room. 7. Mezcaloteca This is the best place in the city to visit if you want to learn about mezcal. The staff here can teach you about how mezcal is made, and you will get a crash course in how to taste it and what to look for in a quality product. Call ahead to book a tasting session, and come prepared to ask questions.The hosts will offer you a selection from the house brands based on your tastes. They work with small-batch producers to create a number of unique, blended, wild-crafted and aged mezcals that can't be found anywhere else. And it comes to the time for surfing and swimming in Pacific Ocean. 8. Punta Cometa Punta Conejo is a rocky cape located at the west end of Mazunte beach. It is a great place to hike at sunset, with stunning views of the Pacific Ocean. To get to the cape, take the lane toward Playa Mermejita off Calle Rinconcito, and go left up the track immediately after the cemetery. You will reach the community nature reserve entrance after 250m. From there, you can take the path leading down to the right or the central path to get to the Punta. 9. Playa Zipolite Zipolite's beach is a great place to relax and soak up the sun and it's famous for its nudity. People of all ages and genders can be found sunbathing, swimming, or walking around without clothes, which is the most iconic scene of the beach. Exhausted from the sunbathing? You got a outstanding dining option here. 10. La Providencia The restaurant combines exquisite flavors, artful presentation, and a relaxed ambience. You can sip a cocktail in the open-air lounge while you peruse the menu. The contemporary Mexican cuisine is sure to please, with options like amaranth-encrusted aubergine, beef medallions with red-wine reduction, and coconut-crusted prawns with mango sauce. And pro tips... save room for their chocolate mousse! No music? No music! But this Oaxaca! 11. Mar & Wana Look no further than Mar & Wana if you're looking for a unique and fun night out! This sand-floor garden hosts live bands and DJs, and has an on-site food court with gourmet burgers, tacos, and Asian fare. Grab a mezcal or cocktail and check out the cool (somewhat hidden) hangout spots up on the rocks. You're sure to have a night to remember at Mar & Wana! Last but not least... 12. Guelaguetza Show The Guelaguetza is an annual indigenous cultural event in Mexico that features traditional costumed dancing by gender-separated groups. It includes parades of indigenous walking bands, native food, and statewide artisanal crafts, such as pre-Hispanic style textiles. The event takes place in the city of Oaxaca and nearby villages. If you're interested in seeing this traditional Mexican dance, the best place to go is the Quinta Real hotel. The hotel hosts a highly colorful three-hour show on Monday evenings, featuring regional dances from across Mexico, as well as an impressive display of traditional Oaxacan costumes. Oaxaca is a truly magical place that should not be missed yet an unforgettable destination for travelers from all over the world.

The Nation That Comes Out from Postcard 🏰: Ireland

Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Read more Lough Derg ponderings... 📍Lough Derg, County Clare 📸 https://t.co/p0jG92cqN1 pic.twitter.com/WwXiV20oPn — Tourism Ireland (@TourismIreland) August 15, 2022 They say Ireland is a stunner, and it's breathtakingly true! The locals will always argue over which county has the most beautiful scenery, but you can't go wrong if you put the brooding loneliness of Connemara, the dramatic wildness of Donegal, the majestic mountains of Mourne, the world-famous scenery of counties Kerry and Cork, and the celebrated Causeway Coast in Northern Ireland on your to-visit list. The small island is right here waiting: 1. Connemara National Park To the southeast of Letterfrack lies Connemara National Park, a 2000-hectare expanse of bog, mountains, heath, and woodlands. The park contains several of the Twelve Bens, including Bencullagh, Benbrack, and Benbaun. Its centerpiece is Gleann Mór (Big Glen), through which the River Polladirk flows. There are excellent hiking opportunities in the glen and on the surrounding mountains, as well as shorter self-guided walks. 2. Cork City Gaol This prison is an imposing former prison that is worth a visit to get a sense of how awful life was for prisoners a century ago. The tour is very moving, bringing home the harshness of the 19th-century penal system. The most common crime was that of poverty; many of the inmates were sentenced to hard labour for stealing loaves of bread. The prison closed in 1923, reopening in 1927 as a radio station that operated until the 1950s. The on-site Governor's House has been converted into a Radio Museum where, alongside collections of beautiful old radios, you can hear the story of radio pioneer Guglielmo Marconi's conquest of the airwaves. 3. Kells Bay House & Gardens This estate was opened in 1837 as a hunting lodge. It spans over 17 hectares and incorporates a waterfall, beach, and six different gardens that range from palms to a primeval fern forest with dinosaurs carved from fallen trees. 4. Old Library & Book of Kells The Old Library at Trinity College is home to some of the most treasured books and artifacts in Dublin. The centerpiece is the Book of Kells, a beautiful illuminated manuscript of the four Gospels of the New Testament. Unfortunately, only a few pages are on display at any given time, so visitors may only get a quick glimpse of this amazing book. However, they can spend more time in the Long Room, which houses over 200,000 of the library's oldest and rarest volumes. Other displays in the Old Library include a copy of the Proclamation of the Irish Republic, read by Pádraig Pearse at the beginning of the Easter Rising in 1916, as well as the Trinity College Harp, the oldest medieval harp in Ireland and the model for the Guinness logo and the flag of the Irish president. 5. Guinness Storehouse The most popular attraction in Dublin is the Guinness Storehouse, a seven-storey museum devoted to the beer, the company’s history, how the beer is made, and how it became the brand it is today. The top floor Gravity Bar is an atrium bar, where you can test your pouring power and drink a pint. Just below it is an excellent restaurant for lunch. 6. Kilmainham Gaol You absolutely must visit Kilmainham Gaol, former prison, if you desire to understand Irish history, especially the long-running resistance to British colonial rule. The former prison in Ireland that is now a museum. The museum has an enthralling exhibit on the history of Irish nationalism. The tour of the prison takes about 90 minutes and finishes in the yard where the leaders of the failed 1916 Easter Rising were executed. 7. Dublin Castle Dublin Castle has been a central part of Irish history for 700 years, playing both positive and negative roles. The castle complex now houses the Irish government and various functions are held there. A guided tour is the only way to see the best parts of the castle, including the State Apartments, St. Patrick's Hall, and the medieval undercroft. The castle grounds also display a variety of architectural styles from different centuries. 8. Monasterboice In the eery atmosphere due to the crowing ravens, the Monasterboice monastic site contains a cemetery, two ancient church ruins, one of the finest and tallest round towers in Ireland, and two of the most important high crosses. The Monasterboice monastic site was founded in the 5th or 6th century by St. Buithe. The site probably had pre-Christian significance. The river is named after St. Buithe. An invading Viking force took over the settlement in 968, only to be expelled by Donal, the Irish high king of Tara. 9. Rock of Cashel The Rock of Cashel is a historic site containing a round tower, a 13th-century Gothic cathedral, and the finest 12th-century Romanesque chapel in Ireland. The chapel is home to some of the land's oldest frescoes. The highlight of the Rock is the early-12th-century Cormac's Chapel, an exquisite Romanesque chapel with beautifully carved doorways and the precious remains of colourful wall paintings. 10. Newgrange Newgrange is a remarkable prehistoric site in Europe, famous for the illumination of its passage and tomb during the winter solstice sun. Newgrange, together with Dowth and Knowth, are the three main Megalithic passage tombs that make up the Brú na Bóinne Unesco World Heritage site. The site is ancient, constructed about 5200 years ago, and predates Egypt's pyramids by some six centuries.

Sydneysiders Why? 🛥: Sydney

Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Read more Read Essentials this week for an update on the inaugural Global Australia Summit, the Singapore border reopening and upcoming Sydney industry briefing: https://t.co/7UTn0r4oqT. pic.twitter.com/PpELnLqhso — Tourism Australia (@TourismAus) November 17, 2021 Sydney is a renowned tourist destination for a plethora of reasons: its natural beauty, its bustling city life, and its many iconic landmarks, such as its picturesque harbour, its world-famous Opera House, and its stunning beaches. Sydney is a unique city because of its national parks that ring the city and penetrate right into its heart. This means that you can see native animals in the most surprising places. For example, clouds of flying foxes pass overhead at twilight, possums rattle over roofs of terrace houses, and sulphur-crested cockatoos screech from the railings of urban balconies. 1. Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park The park is located 20 to 30km from the city center of Sydney and is accessible by public transport. Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park is a popular place to visit for its wilderness, its Aboriginal heritage, as well as activities such as walking, cycling, and kayaking. The park takes in over 100km of coastline along the southern edge of Broken Bay, where it heads into the Hawkesbury River. There are two unconnected principal sections, Bobbin Head and the West Head area. The Barrenjoey headland at Palm Beach is also part of the park and the site of an historic lighthouse. Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park provides activities of many kinds, so why not include the spot into your family travel list? 2. Taronga Zoo Sydney Taronga Zoo is only a ferry ride away from Circular Quay and is full of kangaroos, koalas, and other furry Australians! The zoo has great views of the harbor, and the animals seem very happy and well-cared for. 3. Sydney Sea Life Aquarium The Sea Life Sydney Aquarium is a great place for kids of all ages. The variety of tanks and other attractions will keep them entertained for hours. The highlights of the aquarium include the Perspex-enclosed walk-through shark tank, The penguin boat ride, the dugong, and the Great Barrier Reef tank. The aquarium also offers a variety of add-on activities, such as the Shark Dive Xtreme, the icy penguin encounter, and the glass-bottomed boat ride. The city is actually defined by its coastline, with an abundance of charms to be found in its harbor. Sydney's two halves are far enough apart to make exploring by ferry a worthwhile endeavor. The coast of Australia is full of natural wonders, including sheer walls of sandstone and arcs of golden sand. In the summer, these areas are full of people enjoying the outdoors. 4. Bondi Beach Bondi is undeniable one of the best destinations for its beautiful coastline and waves. It is also home to saltwater sea baths, which were upgraded in 2019. The beach has surfers at either end, making it a great place for learners. There is a grassy spot with coin-operated barbecues at the north end of the beach. Changing rooms and lockers can be found at Bondi Pavilion. Another highlight of Bondi, is that LGBTQIA+ community can enjoy their activities safe and sound here. The North Bondi Surf Club, near an outdoor workout are, is one of the main hangouts for queer beach-going Sydneysiders. 5. Watsons Bay Lovely Watsons Bay is a preferct destination for the Sydney visitor that looking for a day trip by ferry. The village was once a small fishing village, as evidenced by the heritage cottages that pepper the suburb’s narrow streets. South Head can be explored by foot, and visitors can take a dip at Camp Cove or enjoy a leisurely lunch at one of the village's popular restaurants. The Gap is a dramatic clifftop lookout worth a visit. And well, deeply in your heart you know that you're not a good Sydney visitor if you missed out the attractions below. 6. Sydney Opera House The Australia's most famous landmark is designed by Danish architect Jørn Utzon. The building, which references a yacht's sails in its design, comprises five performance spaces for dance, concerts, opera and theatre. Visitors can wander around the outside of the building and take a one-hour guided tour (available in several languages), with optional food. The best way to experience the interior of the Sydney Opera House is to attend a performance. 7. Sydney Harbour Bridge Sydneysiders love their giant 'coathanger', which opened in 1932. The best way to experience this majestic structure is on foot. Stairs and lifts ascend the bridge from both shores, leading to a footpath on the eastern side (the western side is a bike path). Getting the train to Milsons Point and walking back towards the city offers the more spectacular views. Climb the southeastern pylon to the Pylon Lookout or tackle the arc on the popular if expensive, once-in-a-lifetime kind of experience, the BridgeClimb. A city without nightlife, can't be labeled as a city. After a day at the beach, they may take a disco nap, hit the showers, and head out again. There's always a new restaurant to try, undercover bar to hunt down, hip band to check out, sports team to shout at, show to see or crazy party to attend. The city's pretensions to glamour are well balanced by a casualness that means a cool T-shirt and a tidy pair of jeans will get you in most places. But if you want to dress up and show off, there's plenty of opportunity for that among the sparkling harbour lights. 8. Archie Rose Distilling Co. Why can't a distillery which known for its excellent gins be a bar as well? Archie Rose Distilling Co. is totally the industrial chic, the mezzanine is a great spot to sit and observe the action. You can try different gins in a flight, or pick your perfect G&T combination or cocktail. They also have some decent wine and beer. 9. Love, Tilly Devine The Tilly Devine bar is a hidden, split-level bar in a back alley in Sydney. It has a dark, good-looking interior and a compact wine list with some exceptionally well-chosen wines. Italian deli bites and fuller plates are also available. 10. Opera Bar This bar is perfectly positioned with the Opera House on one side and the bridge on the other. It's an iconic spot for visitors and locals alike with live music or DJs most nights and excellent food. The staff geolocate you to know where to bring the food to, and there's an app to order from your table. Sydneysiders celebrate Sydney everyday, let's join them and have a leisure vacation! Hustling, Bustling in Sydney: Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park | NSW National ParksLocated in Sydney’s north, Ku-ring-gai Chase National Park combines important history with scenic beauty, making it perfect for school excursions. Bobbin Head is a great place for a family picnic, and parts of the park are ideal for cycling, fishing and bushwalking.NSW National ParksTaronga Zoo SydneyTaronga Zoo Sydney officially opened on October 7, 1916 and is located on the shores of Sydney Harbour in the suburb of Mosman.

Spirited Away ⛩: Japan

Spirited Away ⛩: Japan

Travel Advisory: COVID-19 : Important notice for traveler Read more Japan is a country with a rich cultural heritage dating back centuries, which can be experienced by visitors through traditional arts, crafts, architecture, and cuisine, include calligraphy, origami, ikebana, and kimono and for sure, matcha and sushi. Japan is probably the easiest place to get around. You can do a whole trip using nothing but its immaculate, efficient public transport. The shinkansen (bullet train) network now runs all the way from the southern tip of Kyūshū (the southernmost of Japan's major islands) up to Hokkaidō (its northernmost), and reasonably priced rail passes make it affordable. Major cities have subway networks that are signposted in English and these days we're seeing and hearing more English all over. But if getting off the beaten track and outside your comfort zone is what you're after, you can have that experience, too. There are so many amazing places to visit in Japan! You could even spend a lifetime sampling the country’s delights, but some towns and sights are staples; core ingredients to any great Japan trip. Well, here’s few of the best places to visit in Japan: 1. Tokyo: Best for contemporary culture There's no place quite like Tokyo. It's a city forever reaching into the future, pushing the boundaries of what's possible on densely populated, earthquake-prone land, adding ever taller, sleeker structures. It's Japan's top spot for contemporary art and architecture, pop culture, shopping, drinking and entertainment (and a tie with Kyoto for dining). i. Ghibli Museum Ghibli Museum is the heart of the Studio Ghibli world, a beloved (even 'adored') film studio responsible for classic, critically-acclaimed animated titles like Spirited Away, My Neighbour Totoro, Ponyo and Princess Mononoke, among countless others. Unlike Disney World, this is a museum, not a theme park, but the levels of fandom on show are likely to be just as intense. ii. Shibuya Crossing Shibuya crossing is rumoured to be the busiest intersection in the world. With hundreds of people crossing at a time, it is a sight to see. To get the best vantage point, head to the Starbucks on the second level of the nearby QFRONT building and look down. iii. teamLab Borderless The teamLab Borderless Museum is an art museum like no other- where art and the viewer become one. With 60 different interactive artworks, this museum is a fantasy world come to life. From the Crystal World, to the Athletics Forest, teamLab Borderless Museum will never disappoints its audiences. But more than any one sight, it's the city itself that enchants visitors. It's a sprawling, organic thing, stretching as far as the eye can see. Always changing, and with a diverse collection of neighborhoods, no two experiences of it are ever the same. 2. Kyoto: Best for traditional experiences Kyoto, Japan's imperial capital for a thousand years, gained more than a thousand temples  including the monumental Kinkaku-ji and the meditative Ryōan-ji. Kyoto is also known for the culture of tea, the art of the geisha, and its rich food culture, including kaiseki. Despite Japan's overall modernization, many traditional arts and crafts are still alive in Kyoto. This is due in part to Kyoto's roots as the country's cultural capital. As such, wandering the streets downtown will reveal many historic shops selling traditional goods like tofu, washi (Japanese handmade paper), tea, lacquerware, chazutsu (tea canisters), and noren (hanging curtains). i. Fushimi Inari-Taisha Fushimi Inari is a vast shrine complex consisting of five shrines sprawled across the wooded slopes of Inari-san. It is one of Japan's most popular shrines and is the head shrine for some 40,000 Inari shrines scattered throughout the country. The walk around the upper precincts of the shrine is a pleasant day hike. It is also very eerie in the late afternoon and early evening when the various graveyards and miniature shrines along the path take on a mysterious air. ii. Nishiki Market Nishiki Market is a place where locals go to buy ingredients for Kyoto cuisine. It is narrow and can get crowded, so it is best to visit early or later in the afternoon. Many stores give out free samples, but it is considered impolite to eat while walking. You should also ask before taking pictures. iii. Arashiyama Bamboo Grove The bamboo grove is most atmospheric near Ōkōchi Sansō villa. Since the grove is free to enter, you can just chilling and take some pictures. If you prefer less crowded bamboo forest, remember to visit early in the morning or on a weekday. 3. Mt Fuji: Best for views and pilgrimages Mt Fuji is an incredibly beautiful and awe-inspiring mountain, especially when seen up close. The perfectly symmetrical cone-shape of the mountain is something that many people admire, and the views from the summit at dawn are simply magical. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people make the pilgrimage up the mountain as part of a centuries-old tradition. For those who don't want to make the climb up Mt Fuji, there are other less-daunting peaks nearby that offer just as spectacular views. Whether you're interested in exploring the country's natural beauty, learning about its fascinating culture, or simply indulging in its delicious food, Japan is sure to offer an unforgettable experience.

11 Things to Note When Traveling to Europe

11 Things to Note When Traveling to Europe

Before you leave, you might all kinds of romantic imagination about Europe... However, after you arrive in Europe and live there for a period of time, you will find that living here is a bit different from what you had imagined. Of course, Europe has its lovely places, but at the same time, there are some aspects that are very different from our way of life or habits, so it is hard to adapt to them at once. The following will share the daily life in Europe from accommodation, food, walking and leisure, so that you can understand and adapt to the European culture. Accommodation 1. Indoor Heating in Winter Winter in Europe is really cold, so most hotels and hostels are equipped with heaters, some even have floor heaters, which is very thoughtful. However, you should be careful to take out the food that will melt in the suitcase when it gets hot, otherwise your suitcase and food are likely to be scrapped. I didn't know that the floor in the hotel was heated, and that night I had chocolates in my suitcase and laid it flat on the floor. The next day, the whole row of chocolates melted, which was a painful lesson. Therefore, when you go to Europe in winter, you should pay attention to the location of indoor heating equipment and move things that are easy to melt away from the heated area or put them directly into the refrigerator. 2. The shower room is a bit narrow The showers in some European accommodations are small, especially in countries with higher prices. The narrow space can barely accommodate one person, and even turning around is not an option, plus you will bump into the surroundings if you don't move. If you want to take a more comfortable bath, remember to look at the photos of the restrooms and guest reviews when booking your stay. 3. Accommodation does not always have a lift Usually when you go to Europe, you will bring a big suitcase to put your clothes for a week or longer trips. If you choose a small hotel or hostel, it is very likely that there is only a staircase. If the hotel you stayed at only had wooden stairs, most likely you will need to pull your suitcase through, and it would make a squeaking sound. It’s so loud you might even worry that the stairs would collapse while you were trying to carry your luggage upstairs. The whole trip to Europe was to repeatedly move your luggage up and down the stairs, and you will become very strong afterwards. Diet 4. Tap Water is Drinkable In most European countries, tap water is not boiled and can be consumed directly. In addition to drinking water from the tap at home, local people also drink water from street water fountains or fountains. Since everyone's stomach and intestines are different, you have to judge your own risk before drinking. Of all the countries, Swiss tap water seems to be the best because it is the easiest to drink and does not have a bitter taste. 5. Restaurant water is not always free When you order from a foreign restaurant, the waiter will always ask if you want water. You'll think they're asking for free water, so you'll ask for it. As a result, when you get to pay, you'll see the bill for 3 euros for a glass of water. This will be the most expensive water you've ever had, and it's tap water. If you don't want to order such expensive water, remember to ask the waiter cheekily if it's free. Because some restaurants charge for water, the average cup is 1-3 euros. 6. Uneven streets When you first walk down the streets of Europe, you will see that the ground is made up of bricks of different sizes and heights, which is very European. This is very different from the concrete streets in many countries. However, when you carry your suitcase, it will ruin the romantic European style and you will miss our flat concrete road. Especially when you are in a hurry, it is very difficult to drag your luggage on the uneven streets. It is recommended that you bring a suitcase of 26 inches or less to Europe, otherwise you will not be able to walk. 7. Train doors requires a button to open You might be used to the subway doors opening automatically, but some of the subways or trains in Europe do not open automatically. Usually there is a button or a hand button on the side of the door, and you have to press the button to open it. I guess the reason is to keep the temperature of the train compartment moderate, because it is very cold in winter and a cold wind will blow when you open the door. In addition, not all passengers get off at every stop, so the doors are opened only when passengers need them, which reduces the number of times the cold wind blows into the car. But the first time you go there, you won't know you have to press the button and almost won't be able to get off the train. Leisure 8. Shops close very early European life has always given people a very leisurely and relaxed feeling, because they mostly focus on work life balance, so most stores close early. Europe is divided into summer and winter time, winter they will be earlier, may be about 4 o'clock after work. On Sundays and holidays, they don't even open. Most of the stores in the mall were not open on Christmas Day. This is very different from our 24-hour convenience stores and supermarkets that are open all year round. When going to some remote areas, it is best to stock up on food first, as supermarkets in Europe may be closed on Sundays. 9. Museums have checkrooms Most museums in Europe have cloak rooms where visitors can put down their backpacks and heavy clothing. Some even make it mandatory for visitors to put their luggage and hats in the cloak room before they can enter, probably because they are afraid of bringing too much stuff to damage the exhibits. In addition to museums, opera houses also make it mandatory for visitors to put their belongings in the cloakroom. Therefore, it is necessary to arrive 15 minutes earlier to watch a large exhibition or opera to reserve time to queue up for the cloakroom for personal belongings. Others 10. Pay to go to the restroom You never know when you'll have to pay to use the restroom. In some public places in Europe, or even some restaurants, you might have to pay to use the facilities. There are usually staff or gates at the entrance of the restrooms, so you can pay cash or get in with a restaurant receipt. It's always a good idea to bring change with you, just in case. If you want to save money, try to go to places like the museum or restaurant, where you won't have to pay extra. 11. Bring your own lock There are usually three situations where you need a lock. First, when you put your luggage on the luggage rack on the train, it is best to use a lock to secure your luggage to the rack to prevent others from taking it by mistake or stealing it. Secondly, when you put your luggage in the locker in a hostel, you should lock it with a lock. Because hostels may not necessarily provide locks for free, so bring your own without spending extra money to buy with the hostel. Third, when storing your luggage in the mini storage, you need to buy another lock to lock the door, so you don't have to pay for it. Hope the above 11 things to take note for European trips can make your trip to Europe easier!
