The Test Kitchen

Tucked away in Cape Town's vibrant Old Biscuit Mill, TTK blew me away as one of the most memorable dining experiences in South Africa. Unlike the stiff atmosphere often associated with fine dining, TTK is electric – intimate, stylish, and buzzing with energy. The chef treated us to a culinary performance not to be missed. Don't miss this gem if you're in Cape Town!

Forget scones, these beauties are fluffy, buttery, and pure Southern goodness! Trust me the blueberry biscuit will change your life!

Restaurant Tian Fu

RTF in Paris holds a special place in my heart. It was here, on our first trip to Paris together, that my love & I shared our first meal! We couldn't resist the aroma of authentic Chinese spices & we got the chance to practice our Mandarin with the owner! The cabbage dish, a symphony of pork and heat, became an instant favorite, The shrimp fried rice is a fluffy, flavorful dream, & the spring rolls are simply beyond!

Buvette des Bains

Are you a fondue fanatics? In the heart of Geneva, Swiss bustling harbor lies a cozy haven for melted cheese! We dove into their classic fondue, savoring every dip with perfectly cooked potatoes, crusty bread, and white wine. While we went veggie this time, they also offer a meaty version for carnivores. Be warned, this place gets popular quickly, so reservations are a must!
