Café Mediterraneo is located on Honer Square, about five minutes walk from Liverpool Street. Open Monday to Friday 8am-4pm and Sunday 8am-5pm. The best day to go to Café Mediterraneo is on Sundays when the market is open. I found this restaurant after I had been walking around Spitalfields...

I almost got addicted to Ottolenghi in Notting Hill when I lived in London. One day I wanted to check out the Islington area because I hadn’t been there before. When I least expected it, I caught sight of my new favourite café Ottolenghi at 287 Upper Street and couldn’t resist to go inside....

A great café in the Highgate area is Queen’s Wood Weekend Café & Organic Garden. Compared to Highgate’s Oshobasho Café, it’s located on the other side of Muswell Hill Road. The number is 42, but you need to follow a path before you reach the house.
The furnishing is cozy, the staff...

Wheatley Vegetarian Café is situated on 33-34 Myddleton Street right next to a shop called Rye Wholefoods. This café has about 20 seats; it’s a roomy and light place with big tables. I the summer, it’s popular to sit outside in their back garden. I think many journalists come there because...

I enjoy farmers markets because everything is so fresh and healthy. Notting Hill Farmers Market is one of the best farmer’s markets in London that focus on organic products. We went there one morning in 2006. I had read about the market in a London guide and wanted to check it out. The farmers...

Wild Cherry is a great café at 241 Globe Road a couple of minutes walk from Bethnal Green tube station. I love the interior there. The walls are covered with pictures from local artists, which is one of the things that gives the restaurant its personality and adds to the unique atmosphere....

The shops in Grand Central Station range from health and beauty to clothes and accessories. I liked the Banana Republic shop between the Vanderbilt Hall and Shuttle Passage and the Kenneth Cole shop had really nice things too. I absolutely love Aveda’s health and beauty shop in the Lexington...

My friend wanted to have her photo taken in front of Times Square by one of the photographers, even though our friend living in New York told her not to because it’s a real tourist-trap. The photographer’s example picture looked amazing, but my friend’s photo was nothing like it. Don’t...

Malmö has many sushi bars, I have already written about a few of them. Another sushi place I can recommend is Nilsson Sushi on Kaptensgatan 9. Since this sushi bar is so small it has a calmer and very personal atmosphere. Nilsson Sushi is located in the quiet residential area Lugnet (means...

As we were on our way to Serre Chevalier a rather cold autumn day in 2004, we made a quick stop in the town of Le Bourg d’Oisans. I love small quaint towns like Le Bourg d’Oisans, where life is quiet, simple and centered around the nature and being outdoors. During our approximately two hour...

I lived in Limhamn when I first moved to Malmö in 2006 and took some time to explore the area. I couldn’t fail to notice Nama, a sushi and sandwich restaurant located in an old bank premises on Limhamn’s central square. Until a few years back, Limhamn didn’t have a lot to offer its...

Another place to eat great Japanese food is Musashi Sushibar on Friisgatan 8 near the shopping mall Triangeln. Of all the sushi bars I’ve been to, Musashi is without doubt the hippest one. Good music, outgoing and fun staff, cool furnishing in white and wood, and superb sushi. They have many...

One of my favourite areas in Malmö (after the beautiful Western Harbor) is Gamla Väster, a charming and rather quiet neighbourhood near the square Lilla Torg. If Malmö, like many other cities, would have had an old town, this neighbourhood would be it. All Gamla Väster consists of pedestrian...

Davidshallstorg is a small and charming square in central Malmö and Hai is without doubt the best restaurant around. This sushi restaurant is almost like Izakaya Koi, but on another square. The staff is courteous, welcoming (and very attractive.) The interior is just as I want it, low-key and...

I’m a true lover of cafés. If I pass by a place that looks cosy I often walk inside even if I’m not going to buy anything – just to check out the place. Mocca was that kind of place. I quite liked what I saw. Mocca is a modern Italian café that, apart from coffee, offers Italian inspired...

I absolutely love Element Café. It’s an oriental café at Löjtnantsgatan 4 in the neighbourhood Rörsjöstaden. I lived in the nearby Värnhem, only a two minutes bike ride from the square Värnhemstorget via Kungsgatan. Since it was so close it became one of our favourite cafés that summer....

Café Vinyl is a mix of a bohemian café and a much organised record store. So far I’ve only been there once. I had been shopping in Malmö when it suddenly started to rain, so I went into this place for a while. The owner was friendly and offered me a vegetarian baguette with cheese and...
