Pearl on the Cliff

While walking from Thira to Oia, we stopped by this place for lunch (city called Imerovigli)

Aside from the service being a bit slow, this place was great (from the food to the view).

For drinks, got an Aperol Spritz and a latte.

For appetizers, got some spreads (tzatziki and a salmon spread… really loved the salmon spread), as well as tomato fritters.

For the main course, got the spinach ravioli.

Idol

We went to this restaurant for our first dinner in Santorini. It was recommended by our AirBnb host.

In terms of atmosphere and view, I really liked this place. Got some great sunset pictures here.

For drinks, tasted the Macallen Amber for the first time (apparently it is a different type of “line” from the regular macallen). Honestly, couldn’t really see why it’s worth more than a Macallen 12.

For appetizers, we got the mixed salad, fried calamari, and Greek carpaccio (which is made out of sea bass instead of beef). I’d order all of them again.

For the main, got a lobster pasta. Also really good (although a bit El dente).

Overall, would come back. However, the group might feel a bit different because they didn’t like the service (and gave no tip).

Midi Eats

We ended up going to the “Midi” part of Brussels unexpectedly, and wanted Italian food.

Got a chicken penne pasta. Overall, it’s great and I would come back here.

Le Roi de la Gaufre

Went to this place for some Belgian waffles in Belgium!

I got a waffle that has Nutella, bananas, and I added a scoop of vanilla chocolate ice cream. Would get this combo again.

Corica

We grabbed a latte at this place on our 3rd day in Brussels. They were pretty legit. They asked if I wanted strong or medium strength for the latte, and it was pretty good. I would come back here again.

Wolf – Hanoi Station

Stopped by this place for lunch.

Wolf is basically a cafeteria that offers food from a variety of cuisines.

I ended up getting Pho and fried spring rolls from the Vietnamese station. I would get the Pho again, but not the spring rolls.

Cup Pasta

Tried this place for lunch since it was right beside our Airbnb in Brussels.

Overall, it was ok. I would come back if there was nothing else really around.

I got the small pasta with the sauce that says “cream, cheese and bacon” with penne, and added chicken.

Mykonos Pitta Gyros

Went here for a late dinner.

Got the Gyro with fries and cabbage. Thought it was ok, but I think the Gyro could have been more fresh. It’s a good late night place, but would probably only come back for food after a late night of partying.

Aksum Coffee House

Went here for our first coffee in Brussels.

Got a latte. Although current Google rating is 3.4 stars, it was actually pretty good. Also seems like a good place to work. Would come back. Just have to remember to ask them to not make it super hot.

La Terrasse

We went here for our first meal in Belgium (Brussels).

Overall, food was okay, but wouldn’t actively come back here again (although google ratings are good for this place ).

For a drink, tried a Chimay for the first time (which is a darker Belgium beer). Thought it was great, but you could definitely feel the alcohol with it.

For starters, got the shrimp salad. I would say it was just okay. For the main, got the ribeye steak with mushroom sauce. It came with salad and fries. Fries were slightly larger than what I was used to (apparently they are called steak fries). As mentioned, food was just okay (but if I for some reason ended up back here, I would not not order things again).
