Ambiente restaurant in Prague – Travel tip #90

admin — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 06:16:47 +0000

There are some great restaurants in Prague and prices are very reasonable, one restaurant I really liked is Ambiente located on Celetna 11 which is at the old town (when you are at old town square just look for this street (near Tyn church) and start walking down this street for few minutes.

There are also other restaurants in Prague which has the same name and belong to this branch – but as i understand they are not the same – so i can only recommend this one.

Port Olimpic in Barcelona – travel tip #84

admin — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 08:36:12 +0000

I was visiting Barcelona for a week during September 2010 and I actually had a dilemma about this tip, since usually I write about good experiences and stuff i really liked but in this case its the opposite.

Port Olimpic is the area with some restaurants, bars and night clubs in Barcelona, right on the port so of course it has a great potential, great view and nice atmosphere there, but, i tried 2 different restaurants there and other than the fact they look really fancy and great and they are much more expensive than other places, the food was not that great (to say the least) – both times i was very disappointed – so maybe i chose the wrong places but striking out 2 out of 2 looks like a pattern to me…if you go there – make sure to know which place to go by recommendations (from someone you trust) before you go there.

The KEG steakhouse at Niagara Falls – Travel Tip #83

admin — Tue, 07 Dec 2010 08:33:44 +0000

This is a really nice place to eat dinner when visiting Niagara falls, it is at embassy suites hotel and all the windows are watching the falls, the cool thing is that during the evening there are colored lights on the falls and it looks great. Ask to sit near a window with falls view.

Buzzards Restaurant, Calgary – Travel Tp #66

admin — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 06:02:05 +0000

I visited this great restaurant in Calgary back in 2001 and it was great, other than the great food (a lot of meat) and great authentic cowboy atmosphere, i really liked the cool t shirts they are selling in regards to their testicle festival – great stuff.

When i was there it was like, give them your cowboy hat get a free drink, for your cowboy boots you will get a free meal and over your head you can see all the boots and hats – just think about how many people ate there for free

Top 5 Street Food

admin — Tue, 18 Aug 2009 08:34:52 +0000

When I travel I really love tasting all kind of street foods, ye right, the cheap stuff you get from those guys with carts. So here it is – my top 5 street food (and I haven’t been to Asia yet – imagine that)

1. Chicken Shish Kebab in Istanbul – we tried it when arriving to Anadolu Kavagi (after a short boat ride on the Bosphorus river) and it was so good (and since it was also really cheap we immediately had another one).

2. Nurnberger Original – these are long hot dogs (but which actually taste good, like meat and not like crap) – you can get them all over Nurnberg on carts for like 2 Euros each.

3. Turkish pretzel – available throughout Istanbul for less than a Dollar.

4. Giant licorice on candy stand all around Sweden and Norway – they are like 70 CM long and you can get them in every color you can think of

5. Square Pizza in Italy (in my case it was Florence but i think you can find it elsewhere as well) – really tasty and really thick.

Since I am a big junk food fan – I guess I will have more fast food related lists soon.

Street Pretzel in Istanbul – Travel Tip #30

admin — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 04:09:03 +0000

Ok, this might sound stupid but all over the center of Istanbul you will see carts with Pretzels, but dont mistaken , these are the best I have ever tasted, it is also very cheap (like less than 50Cents) – Must try.

Original Nurnberger – Travel Tip #14

admin — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 08:31:34 +0000

Yes, I am going to write an entire post (a short one but still, a post) about a great susage, it is not really fency food as you can guess but it is really good. These are sold on every street corner at Nürnber, its cheap, its good and it is fast – dont miss it.

Sir Lancelot, Budapest – Travel Tip #12

admin — Mon, 01 Jun 2009 09:01:31 +0000

This is a really cool place to eat, it is located in a dungeon of some sort and it is one of these “medieval style” restaurants, typical music, typical clothes of the waitresses and really good and big size dishes. you will not get a fork or knife there so get ready to get dirty. you should probably make reservation since we had to come back the next day since it was full.

Location: Budapest, Podmaniczky 14.

Moses – Best Burger in Israel – Travel Tip #8

admin — Thu, 28 May 2009 10:19:02 +0000

If you are in Israel you must try one of Moses Art burgers – it is the best burger in Israel (and for me it is maybe the best burger I had ever eaten). There is one restaurant located in Herzliya and another 3 in Tel Aviv. Just be sure you are ordering the Art Burger and not a regular burger.
