Cooked fresh right before your eyes. I love Spain






My favourite restaurant + bar in all of Europe = Pinotxo Bar, Barcelona, Spain.

The bar is nestled in Boqueta Market in the heart of the city. Can't get any fresher than that. Sip some cava with your fresh grilled fish or steak, wowza! Try the chickpea dish it's spectacular.



5/5 for Barca! Nothing tops it so far.

Edinburgh...foodie capital of Britain?

Food n Booze in Edinburgh includes excellent cheese shops, sad but tasty piggies and amazing scotch tasting rooms! In general, I had some really great (foodie-centric) nights out in this crazy town. Excellent other eateries included a turkish restaurant with cozy atmosphere and great live music called Templebar(must recheck the name I was a bit drunk this time) and an elegant French restaurant called the Iris served a mouth watering pork tenderloin with grilled fennel. The 'chip butty' thing didn't appeal to me though. Who wants a shitty burger bun, stuffed with starchy fries covered in 'brown sauce' ie. gravy unless you are super wasted (which I wasn't).




4/5 for Edinburgh. It´s restaurants are fabulous but it´s local cuisine is lacking seriously, except for the scotch.
