I’m not gatekeeping the best place for Wine and Aperitivo in Manchester! 🍷📣

Soph and I love nothing better than an evening catching up over a bottle of delicious wine 🫶, and this is by far the best spot for it!

Let me tell you all about our visit to Federico 💫

✨ The Vibe
A cosy little wine bar that instantly transports you to Italy — relaxed, intimate, but still effortlessly sophisticated. The kind of place you pop in for one and stay all evening.

🍇 The Wine
Every bottle is hand-picked by the owner (and WOW, does he have an excellent palette 👏). Expect unique flavour profiles, interesting pours, and wines you won’t find just anywhere.

🧀 The Food
Think high-quality meats & cheeses that pair perfectly with your glass — simple, authentic, and seriously good.

💛 The Experience
Friendly, knowledgeable staff who genuinely love what they do. They are on hand for incredible recommendations and nuggets of info - it makes all the difference.

☀️ Final Thoughts
I already know this will be my go-to when it’s officially spritz season 🍊🫧
The aperitivo menu was something we didn’t get to try but looking at both the long and short drinks on this menu, there’s not much I won’t like!

Portuguese Piri-Piri Feast in London Bridge?! 🍗🔥

This spot smells incredible the second you walk in — your nostrils instantly get hit with that chargrill aroma. I knew straight away I was in for something good. 👀

The restaurant itself is such a lovely setting — warm, lively and perfect for a casual dinner that still feels a bit elevated. And if you like wine, their Portuguese-heavy list is really great. 🍷

What we had:
🍤 Chilli garlic prawns
🍗 Frango piri-piri
🍚 Casa rice
🥬 Hispi slaw
🥮 Pastel De Nata
🍰 Bolo De Bolacha

The standout for me was definitely the casa rice — I didn’t expect it to be my favourite but the crispy chicken skin made it ridiculously moreish. The signature piri piri chicken was also really tasty and you can really get the chargrill coming through in the flavour. 🤤

Overall, the food was really nice but not mind-blowing. Still a great spot though, and excellent value of money for the area. The atmosphere and wine are also a big plus. 🙌

💸 What to expect:
£45pp (inc wine)
Mid-range pricing for London Bridge, great for a relaxed dinner or catching up with friends.

📝 The verdict:
✔️ Amazing chargrill smell and cosy setting
✔️ Great Portuguese wine list
✔️ Solid piri-piri spot in London Bridge

Definitely worth a visit if you’re around London Bridge and craving grilled peri perichicken and good wine. 🇵🇹

🥩 The Korean BBQ You NEED to Try in Manchester 🇰🇷

If you love interactive dining, great quality meat and incredible flavours, this BBQ is a MUST!

From sizzling meats to endless sides, this spot seriously delivers — and that beef platter… PHENOMENAL. 😮‍🔥

What we ordered:
🥩 Beef Platter
Banchan and Namur Set
Enoki Mushroom
🍻 House Beer

The beef platter is the star of the show. All of the meat is incredible quality and there’s so many different types of beef on this platter with completely different flavours and textures.

My personal favourites?
The marbled beef — so tender and melted in your mouth🤤
The seasoned beef fat (trust me on this one) — it caramelises into the most incredible smoky yet sweet flavour
The beef tongue — my favourite flavour of the plain meet options
All of the marinated meat was also delicious

I was also super glad we ordered the enoki mushrooms. The seasoning on these was delicious and they cook to an amazing crispy texture.

The banchan and namul set were the PERFECT sides to balance everything out. All three kimchi options has incredible flavour and the namul added nice freshness to the dish. Exactly what you want alongside all that grilled goodness. 🥢✨

The service is also wonderful! 👏

If you’re a Kpop lover, then this restaurant has the music for you! All the music videos are on the screens as you eat from nostalgic ones to new ones 🎵

We visited for my Mum’s birthday and it was the perfect celebration meal! It’s an ideal activity to chat whilst cooking and enjoying the good food 🥰

💸 The price:
Around £40pp
Great value for the quality and experience — perfect for a fun dinner where you leave VERY full 🙌

📝 The verdict:
✔️ Top-quality meats
✔️ Fun, interactive dining experience - perfect for groups
✔️ Amazing flavours throughout
✔️ Wonderful service

Will now be my go-to spot for Korean BBQ in Manchester — already planning my next visit. 🫶

❄️ What I ate in Tromsø, Norway (Arctic food edition!) 🇳🇴

If you’re visiting Tromsø, the food scene is full of cosy, hearty dishes designed to warm you up after a freezing Arctic day 🧣 Here’s a little peek at what I ate:

🐟 Fish Soup
A must-try in Tromsø! Almost every restaurant and café has their own version — some creamy, some a little spicy — something for everyone. 🤗

☕ Cosy Cafés & Cakes
Tromsø cafés are so charming. Amazing coffee, huge cake counters and (of course) more fish soup. The perfect warm-up stop after exploring.

🍺 Local Beer & Snacks
The local ales are great, but the real surprise was the snacks… salty crisps covered in chocolate?! YES PLEASE 🍫 The Schprø was my absolute favourite — think a Wotsit but chocolate instead of cheese.

🥘 Winter-Warming Food
When it’s this cold, comfort food is essential. My favourite dish was reindeer stew (so rich and warming), plus a drink of warm apple with cinnamon 🍎✨

🐳 Whale Steak
Something I never expected to try! It’s actually quite common here — similar texture to a well-done steak but with a slightly peppery flavour.

Arctic cuisine is all about hearty food that warms you up from the inside out ❄️

🍨 My honest review of Manchester’s viral Greek frozen yoghurt spot 👀📝

Ever since this place opened on King Street Wesr, my feed has been full of people raving about it… so obviously I had to go and try Manchester’s viral Greek frozen yoghurt for myself. 🏃🏻‍♀️

As someone who loves Greek yoghurt and frozen desserts, I was very excited for this one!

First things first — the frozen yoghurt itself is genuinely delicious. It’s super creamy with a soft, silky texture the whole way through (none of those icy bits you sometimes get with cheaper froyo). It definitely tastes high quality.

The only thing I’d love to see more of is lighter, fresher flavours. Most of the options lean quite indulgent — think cocoa, pistachio and richer flavours.

Then there’s the toppings bar, which is huge. If you’re after something sweet or chocolatey you’ll be very happy because there are loads of options to pimp your froyo 🍫✨

But again, if you’re craving something a bit fresher, the choices are more limited. I would have loved to add fresh fruit or even mint to balance the richness. (To be fair, I have seen fruit on their Instagram so they may have just run out when I visited.)

Overall though, it’s super tasty and definitely a decadent dessert stop in Manchester. If you’re looking for an indulgent sweet treat, this one is worth trying. 🙌

💸 Price:
£9.35
(Medium pistachio frozen yoghurt + 3 toppings)

📝 The verdict:
✔️ High quality, creamy frozen yoghurt
✔️ Great if you love indulgent dessert flavours
✖️ Not many lighter or fresh topping options
✖️ Service wasn’t particularly friendly

🍝 Freshly Cooked Pasta for Lunch? Count Me In! ✨

I’m always on the hunt for great lunch options in Manchester City Centre.
This is an excellent choice for a sit down meal and right next to my office too? Lucky me!

💸 The deal:
Sun - Fri, 12-4pm
2 Courses for £18
3 Courses for £21

Here’s what we ordered:
🤍 Burrata Al Pesto Di Basilico
🍘 Arancini Del Giorno
🍝 Pasta Alla Puttanesca
👂 Orecchiette Con Ragu Di Salsiccia E Nduja

The arancini were such an amazing surprise! Absolutely wonderful flavour from the signature recipe with a smokey touch and a great depth of taste in the filling. A really lovely crunch to the fried casing and not too heavy either.

Both the pasta dishes are cooked al dente and fresh to order. I absolutely love orecchiette anyway, as it is one of my favourite pasta types, but this was seriously tasty. The fennel in the dish married so nicely with the heat and salty flavours, making a wonderful dish.

📝 The verdict:
✔️ Freshly cooked food with good quality ingredients
✔️ A proper sit down city centre lunch

Looking for a Sunday Roast Spot in Chester? This is where you need to go 🌰🔥

does an excellent job of elevating a traditional Sunday Roast with very slight flavour adjustments.

What we tried:
🫒 Olives
🥩 Roast Beef and all the Trimmings
🥕 Maple Roast Carrots
🍐 Poached Pear

The dark horse on the menu is the carrots! A surprisingly luxurious dish with sweetness from the maple syrup and a delicate savoury flavour from the chives.

The beef was cooked to perfection and sliced thinly, so it really melted away as soon as you placed it on your tongue. All of the veg it came with was delicious and flavourful. It was covered in gravy, which I really appreciated. My only gripe would be that I could have eaten double the amount and I thought the portions were quite small.

The dessert kept up the amazing flavour! I loved the flavour of the pear and the olive oil added atop the ice cream gave a decadent savoury note to the dish.

And what made the meal even better? An excellent catch up with and over this food!

Overall, a really tasty meal and I’d love to try their evening menu! Gorgeous little spot ✨
