Great restaurant - Barcelona


Hi,

The other week I went to a restaurant on Calle Flassaders 19 in Barcelona in the Born district, just off rambla del borne - and its called Montiel.

I went there the other week with work and a few clients and they all absolutely loved the food and service! The waiters speak english and the food was of great quality and a bit different. We had:

Sardines
Tuna Tartar
Foi Gras salad
Pan con tomate
lamb with potato purée and prunes
fish (dont remember all the details :) )

cost around 30-50/ person with wine

dont miss it!

London visit...delayed update





Hi there,

sorry didnt make any updates to the blog since January. Since then a lot of things have happened. I went to London for 5 days where I visited friends and worked. London really is a great place for weekend fun. I started with going out for dinner in covent garden on Friday evening then I went to the supperclub in Notting Hill which used to be Neighbourhood. I met up with lots of friends from my past and present and enjoyed a nice rasperry bellini or three :)

Saturday started with a nice walk through Hyde Park in the sunshine followed by a visit to harrods and harvey nichols (darling!) with my friend Ola who lives in Berlin but was also visiting. After that I went to see chicago and then back to the hotel like the good girl I am.

On Sunday I went to Spitalfields market with Asa and Lana (metro liverpool street) I highly recommend it, it is quite busy but surrounded by good restaurants where you can have lunch and relax before continuing your shopping spree! I went to wagamamas that have lovely food if you like noodles and oriental food.
