🍴Paria Cafe
⭐️5/5
📍Chapel Allerton, Leeds
I was invited in for a coffee at and what a cute, cosy wee spot it is!
We ordered two oat milk chai lattes (divine) and a couple of their gorgeous pastries (which I literally haven’t stopped thinking about since).
The pastries are baked daily by and are stunning - the rhubarb and custard tart was out of this world and I genuinely wanted to find whoever baked it and plant a small kiss of gratitude atop their head x
A great cafe in a great location and, as a Chapel Allerton gal myself, I think this might be my new local🙌🏻
🍴Mythos
⭐️5/5
📍Chapel Allerton, Leeds
We ordered:
🍆The dip tasting platter - A wee taster of all of their homemade dips: Tzatziki, their signature Mythos sauce, spicy feta (my fave🤤), fava, smokey charred aubergine and taramosalata
🥩Lamb & beef moussaka - Layers of eggplant, courgette & potato covered with a rich four-hour tomato sauce, finished with creamy bechamel and served with a side salad
🐖Pork yeeros board - Tender, shaved pork served with tomatoes, onions, tzatziki, pita and oregano fries
, you have my heart - see you soon💘
🍴Cinnamon Kitchen
⭐️3/5
📍The Queens Hotel, Leeds
I’ve been dying to try Cinnamon Kitchen since they opened earlier this year, so I was genuinely excited when they reached out. Sadly, it just fell a bit flat😔
The restaurant looks gorgeous at first glance, but once you’re actually sat down you start noticing the little things…the plastic plants, the “tiles” on the wall actually being wallpaper and a general atmosphere that didn’t feel warm or authentic.
To start, we shared:
🐷Double-cooked ‘Koorg’ style pork belly with a curried yogurt - this was nice enough, I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t anything new and I’ve definitely had more flavourful pork elsewhere
🐑 Pathar Ka Gosht - tender grilled lamb with coriander chutney - omg this was sensational. Easily the best thing we ate all night
For our mains:
John had the shorshe chingri - king prawns in mustard and yoghurt sauce served with ghee rice🦐The prawns were juicy & cooked perfectly, but the sauce had an unexpectedly bitter edge that threw the whole thing off.
I went for the chicken biryani and it was the biggest disappointment of the night. All rice, nae chicken 😭 I swear there were about four tiny cubes of chicken hiding in there like they owed somebody money. It’s not often I’m still hungry after a starter and a main but there I was…
We finished the meal with two desserts:
🥮Yorkshire-style curd & cardamom tart - thick, dry and awfully claggy but a solid excuse to order another glass of wine🤷🏻♀️The passion fruit sorbet it came with though, was to die for
🍨 Saffron & pistachio kulfi - while unbelievably creamy, the kulfi lacked flavour. Still comforting though
We were really grateful to be invited in, but I will say I noticed it was pretty expensive. £17 for a biryani that was basically a bowl of rice felt painful and Johns wee curry was a pricey £24💸
There are so many absolutely outstanding Indian restaurants in Leeds that I adore (,,, to name a few), so this just didn’t compare.
🍴Nick’s at Port of Menteith
⭐️4/5
📍Port of Menteith, Stirling
The last time we went home to Glasgow, my parents took John and I on a wee day trip to Lake of Menteith and we ended up stopping at for lunch.
Sure look, what was supposed to be a quick bite turned into a full on feast:
🥩I went straight for the Sunday roast - perfectly cooked smoked roast beef served with crispy roast potatoes, honey-glazed root veg, a silky celeriac purée & a glossy red wine gravy that tied the whole thing together. No notes
🐟John had the seafood linguine - Light, garlicky, just the right side of spicy and packed with proper chunks of fresh Scottish fish
🦐Mum had a couple of starters as her main: Beetroot salad with toasted hazelnuts & crème fraiche and Nick’s seafood cocktail with prawns, smoked salmon, tomato, avocado & Nick’s moreish cocktail sauce
🍕Dad went for a good old pizza with San marzano tomato, fior de latte, salsicca, nduja, italian fennel sausage & prosciutto
Not only is the food class, but the restaurant is in such a beautiful location😍
We sat outside in the autumn sun, soaking in the views and vibrant garden, where Nick and his team grow a loaaaad of their ingredients. No wonder the food is so incredibly fresh🧑🏻🌾
If you’re ever passing through Port of Menteith, I highly recommend👏🏻
🍴Livin’ Italy
⭐️4/5
📍Leeds docks
I was kindly invited to last weekend, so I took one of my besties and we had a feast🤤
After a couple of cocktails, we cracked open a bottle of Sav Blanc and shared:
🧀 Charcuterie board - prosciutto crudo, creamy caprino goats cheese & fontina, served with homemade focaccia and a dreamy marsala & caramelized onion chutney
🐙 Fritto misto - lightly battered calamari, prawns & courgettes with lemon mayo (sooo morish)
🍝 Fried pasta lollipops - crispy breaded Paccheri stuffed with gooey mozzarella, served on a rich, spicy n’duja tomato sauce, topped with parmesan & fresh basil
🍅 Mozzarella burrata - the creamiest from Puglia, on a bed of sweet & sour braised vegetable caponata
🥗 Livin’ a long time salad - salad leaves, pickled onions, sweet baby carrots, lightly steamed mangetout & toasted pumpkin seeds with a mustard dressing
🍟 And obviously, truffle & Parmesan fries, because what’s a glass of white without a fry!?
Everything was stunning and I can’t wait to come back to try some of the mains😏
One of my besties came up from London for the weekend, so of course, our first stop had to be as there’s no better way to catch up than with a bottle of wine and a packet of loaded crisps🫒
Torres black truffle potato chips stacked with prosciutto, spicy Perello Guindilla chilis, grated manchego, gordal olives & a smothering of garlic aioli - actual heaven 🤤🔥
When we moved into our house last October, the garden looked a bit sad and lifeless. We had no clue what was hiding there🍂
Fast forward almost a year and it turns out the previous owners were BIG gardeners😍
Among the gorgeous flowers and herbs, we discovered: massive raspberry, blueberry & blackcurrant bushes, an apple tree and a wee crop of rhubarb🌱
The raspberries? Scoffed within ten minutes of discovery. Same with the blueberries. But the blackcurrants? We were quite honestly over run and something had to be done.
I noticed the first of the rhubarb had popped up and bingo… jam-making was on the cards🫡
It turned out absolutely delicious, so here’s my super easy recipe in case you fancy making it yourself:
💦Tip the washed fruit into a big pot & add 200ml cold water
🔥Bring to the boil, then simmer for 15 mins
🍋Add grated lemon rind & the juice of one lemon
🍬Stir in 500g of sugar on a gentle heat
💥Once the sugar has dissolved, turn up the heat and boil hardddd for 10-15 mins until gloopy (make sure to keep an eye on it - you’ll know when it’s ready)
✨Dip a teaspoon into the mixture and wait a min or two, then gently push your finger through the cooled jam – if it wrinkles, it’s ready. If not, boil for another 2 mins, then re-test.
🫙Pour into clean jars & pop in the fridge
And that’s it! A tangy, fruity jam that’s perfect lathered on toast, swirled through yogurt or stirred into porridge🤤
🍴Mommy Thai
⭐️5/5
📍Duncan St, Leeds
We started with the classics: prawn crackers (essential, always), succulent fish cakes and crisp tempura prawns that disappeared within minutes🍤
But the real star of the show was the Moo Yang - grilled marinated pork skewers covered with fried garlic and a gorgeous jaew sauce…easily one of the best things I’ve eaten this year👏🏻
For mains, I couldn’t resist being the centre of attention and ordering the Weeping Tiger steak🥩
It arrived sizzling on a hot plate (💅🏼), drenched in their special sauce and begging to be dragged through a mountain of coconut rice.
John went for their famous Floating Market noodle soup - a rich black pudding broth with beansprouts, morning glory and pork meatballs🐖
Every dish was packed with flavour, cooked with care and incredibly comforting😌
Consider this your sign to book a table ASAP🤝🏻
🍴Coconut Fragrance Restaurant
⭐️5/5
📍Hoi An, Vietnam
I booked John and I into a cooking class and while I was really looking forward to it, I had no idea it would end up being one of the best parts of our whole trip🥹
We were picked up at 3pm and taken to the local food market, where Tuấn (the chef) walked us through all the herbs, spices and ingredients we’d be using later on.
We tasted loads of local fruits and snacks - some familiar, some verrrry much not - and it was such a fun, hands-on way to learn about Vietnamese food🍛
Next up: jumping in some coconut boats and having a go at traditional fishing (caught zero fish, 10/10 entertainment)🥥
Then it was back to Tuấn’s family home for the cooking class. We made rice paper from scratch, flipped crispy Bánh Xèo, put together the dreamiest prawn, mango & papaya salad, rolled fresh spring rolls and grilled delicate fish in banana leaves🐟
Everything was fresh, delicious and surprisingly doable. Their whole family got involved and everyone was so warm and made us feel so welcome🥰
We wrapped up the meal with a stunning dessert (sticky rice, banana, coconut cream & mango) and were even given wee gifts to take home!!
Someone happened to mention engagements and John casually shared that he’d proposed a couple of days earlier and within the hour they surprised us with the most gorgeous cake - such a kind and thoughtful thing to do😭
If you’re in Hoi An, this is an absolute must. Not just a cooking class but a little window into Vietnamese life, food and hospitality. Unforgettable🫶🏻
