JoJo

This restaurant is part of Jean George’s restaurants (whose restaurant by the same name has two Michelin stars).

First, I’ll say all the food is great. Will definitely com back here again.

For drinks, got their version of a whisky sour. Definitely would get it again.

For appetizers, got a crab salad (not pictured below), corn soup, and a sashimi avocado lettuce wrap. All great.

For the main, got the clam linguini, as well as tried the chicken. Would get either dish again.

Overall, had a solid meal.

Dunhuang

Tried this Chinese restaurant at LIC (Long Island City). Gotta say I was surprisingly impressed.

It doesn’t have what you would typically expect from a Chinese restaurant. But what we ordered was all good.

We got several cold dishes including cucumbers, chicken and beef. They all tasted great and would order all of them again

We also got a warm lamb dish. I would eat again, but would order something else if I had the choice.

We also got the Dunhuang Pan Fried noodles with chicken. The noodles are hand made, and they were fantastic. Would get it again for sure.

Only thing about this place is that it doesn’t have a liquor license. Hopefully that changes in the future.

Lucky’s

Another Mediterranean place we tried in Greece, but this one was fast food.

Got a Gyro pita. Interestingly outside America they add fries inside it. It tasted pretty good, but would still prefer a plate instead of a pita.

For appetizers, we got falafel and tzatziki. I would admit the falafel was a bit dry.”, but tzatziki was good.

In the end, would come here again, but maybe try a plate or even the souvlaki.

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.

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.

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.

Restaurante Casa Benigna

On our second night in Madrid we wanted to eat at a great paella place, and we did!

This place is rated 4.5 on Google, and usually requires a reservation. Fortunately, they did let us in (although the door was locked when we got there).

The place was a bit fancy, but still let us in with shirts and shorts. For drinks, got a white wine that was a tad bit sweet (supposedly pairs great with the paella we ordered).

To start, they gave us some vegetable sticks / fruit sticks, as well as bread with butter that felt and tasted like cheese (soooo good). Also served a cold tomato soup called Gazpacho. Also great!

To start, got the tomato salad. Great way to start a meal by eating healthy.

For the main paella, got the seafood paella and a chicken and pork paella. Both were great, but I liked the seafood one better (others in the group found the other paella better).

For desert, got the apple pie (which almost seemed like an inverted apple pie). Also great! They also gave us complimentary melted chocolate and cookies.

Would come back here again in a heart beat.

Hotel Borovnik

We stopped by here after venturing around the Tisno bridge.

Got the chicken appetizer dish, and a mimosa (they didn’t know what it was, so they put wayyyy too much orange juice). The chicken appetizer was really good, and the white sauce on it was pretty interesting. Also got a latte to go, and it was decent. I would come back to this place again.

Checked out this Italian in hopes of eating some pasta. However, there was no pasta. Still a good place to eat.

We got the scallops for appetizers. Great choice. For my main, got the chicken. It was cooked perfectly (not dry at all). Also got the potatoes on the side.

For wine, I got something called the montecheubbsgd… (it was a black cherry type flavor). Thought it was interestingly light (but Ben said it’s because it doesn’t taste acidic.

Galpao Gaucho

This Brazilian steakhouse was a great suggestion by one of my directs (as an alternative to Fogo de Chau).

The salad bar was decent (and really loved the soup they offered).

The meat selection was great (from bacon wrapped meat to cheese wrapped chicken).
