Baith Maryam Brothers

Started off the morning by getting breakfast at this restaurant in Souq Waqif.

We ordered the breakfast special, which comes with a variety of dishes (which you’re supposed to eat with some sort of flat bread). Some of the food it comes with includes humans, fried cheese, an omelet of some sort, falafels. and egg mixed with some sort of

I really liked everything (did feel in different to the bean and sour cream/cheese thing though.

Also ordered a latte which tasted better than usual (probably because of the cream), and it was fairly strong.

Dragonfly

This is apparently the oldest cocktail bar in Edinburgh.

Got the Whisky Away drink. It seemed like it would have been an old fashion with a banana twist, but it was not as sweet as expected, which I was kind of disappointed.

My friend got the Ka Pao Tao (or something like that) drink, which I thought was great.

Also tried their cheese plate. The Scottish brie was pretty terrible, but I did like the Scottish Gouda.

We went on a Tuesday night so vibe was pretty dead. So maybe would go back on a Thursday or Friday night.

Prep’ La Crepe

Started off the third day of Madrid having coffee and lunch at this place.

So this was the first time I had a savory crepe, and it was delicious. Got a simple one (ham y cheddar). It was good, but would get the one my friend got next time (his had mushrooms, cheese, bacon and egg). Also got a latte. Would recommend this place.

Casa Mingo

We went to this place from a recommendation from someone at work that grew up in Madrid.

Although the drink selection was limited (no Cava), the food was great. For drink, I stuck to white wine (although they have a cider that they are known for. It was pretty good, but could only have two sips).

For food, the tortilla potatas was great (it was not just a simple tortilla), and the chicken was basically so juicy (it fell off). We also got jaman and some sort of cheese (almost tasted like guda mozerella). This was a great recommendation, and would definitely go back.

The Keystone

We came here for burgers and drinks.

I wasn’t too Hungary, so I just had the cheese fries and wings, plus and old fashion (for happy hour, it was not bad).

Next time I go back I’ll try a burger.

South Beach Cafe

Went here to work since they close at 9pm.

I actually got a breakfast item even though it was dinner. I got the ham, cheese, and egg focaccia. Overall, delicious and worth the price.

I also got the mimosa, which I believe had orange juice that was freshly squeezed. It was one of the best mimosa’s I’ve had!

The only complaint about this place is that it has flies. They can be distracting when trying to work.
