Lisboa Tu & Es

Translated to You and Me Lisbon, this place was a great find. Had lots of local foods, and it’s in Alfama area of Lisbon which I enjoyed.

We had a bunch of (what seems to be local seafood) dishes to share. For alcohol, it’s mainly beer and Sangria only. The local cheap beer around here seems to be called Superbock. The sangria was good, since it seemed to be a bit carbonated.

For food, got the fried chicken (lol which was not fried at all), sardines, this sweet rice with shrimp, fish cake, octopus salad, some other things pictured below (not sure of the name), and pastel de nata.

Would recommend this place and come back in a heart beat (it takes cash only though). Would also order everything again.

Aki Del-Mar Mariscos

We went here for lunch when we got to Nazaré.

The sparkling wine was fairly cheap (and sweet). A 350ml bottle was only 10 euros.

For the main, got the crab and lobster pasta. Honestly, it was pretty good, but I wouldn’t get it again since the lobster was a pain to get the meat out (the shrimp it came with was good, and the lobster was pretty easy).

The Office

We went here for some bites after a 3 hour boat ride, and got drinks as well.

For lunch, got the sea bass with vegetables. It was pretty good. For drinks, got a pina colada.

The vibe of the restaurant was fairly nice since it was right in front of the beach (and you could easily bar hop to other eateries beside it). Would come back to it, and also would check out the other eateries around.

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.

Taverna Kyclades

A great Greek place at the east side of New York.

Got the octopus to share for appetizers (by far the best Octopus I have eaten). Then got the Seafood pasta (basically an awesome seafood linguini as pictured below).

BB Club

First restaurant we went to at Hvar. We grabbed brunch here, and I have to say it was my best meal so far.

For food, got the linguini and added chicken. It came with a while mozzarella ball, and the sauce was really good.

For the drink, got a strawberry mojito (since they were out of mimosas). It was ok (would’ve really had a better experience with the mimosa lol).

Update (8/5/2021): we came back here for brunch at the last day in Hvar (thought it was that good). This time got brunch (scrambled eggs with bacon). Also got a mimosa (orange juice was hand made). Both were fantastic.

The Fish Hopper Seafood and Steaks

First restaurant I ate in Hawaii (Kona). It’s in the main town in Holualoa.

Overall, I did get a tourist vibe from the place. However, the drink I ordered, the toasted pina colada, was really good, and the perfect first drink in Hawaii.

For the main course I ordered a clam chowder and seafood pastaZ the pasta was great. The clam chowder was a bit too thick (the last picture posted was a ultimate Bloody Mary with a slider and bacon attached to it, which I did not ordered, but thought was really cool).

Caramba

Great Italian restaurant. Although a sit down restaurant, it had really chill waiters and staff.

Started off the an espresso martini. Man was it the best espresso martini I’ve ever had! Got a lemon drop for my second drink.

For apps, we got bread and patatas bravas. Both great.

For my mains, had the French onion soup and the seafood linguini. Both excellent choices.

This place was definitely worth it.

I had already eaten before coming here, so I ended ordering just an appetizer (the lobster sushi roll, which was also good). However, I should’ve gotten the main course that had the pork and scallops (serving size was not big, and it tasted great).

Hudson Clearwater

Went to this fancy restaurant as the last dinner of my New York trip.

For starters, we got the seafood appetizer platter. Could not go wrong with it.

For my main, got the braised beef. Also a great choice.

For dessert, got the apple crumbled with ice cream. Also great.

Nothing bad to say about this restaurant’s food (my first cocktail though I didn’t like so much, but their old fashion made up for it).
