Food adventures in Melbourne and wherever the tummy goes
It was dinner time and Mr D and I promised ourselves we would stray from the main street but we were so tired we just dropped into the first place we saw – La Cucina Nazionale. Now, we were greeted warmly and that was about the service we got (step up your game Rome!). The interior was lovely and there was such a happy vibe and it cheered me up a bit.
For our last night in Florence I felt much better so we decided to venture into alleyways and steer away from the tourist main roads. I’m so glad we chose to do that because BAM we ran into La Grotta Guelfa and sure, it looks like every other pizza joint but I was too tired to go any further so in we went.
We just had dinner and I needed dessert pronto. We fought through the wind and rain and ended up at Venchi because…wait for it….THEY HAVE A CHOCOLATE WATERFALL WALL (WHAT???!!)!!
While wondering around Florence, it was dinner time and it was pouring down cats and dogs. We ducked into the first restaurant we saw and it was Il Salibecco and opted for indoors.
For our last night in Venice Mr D and I walked around the streets to find a super cute place for dinner. Mr D didn’t want to go since I forgot the map (oopsie daisies) and we landed at Ristorante Da Sabrina.
While walking around Venice we walked by a cute pizza shop that had pizzas displayed out in the front.
We finally arrived in Venice and it was super late (not really super, maybe just 6PM..but I eat at grandma time!) so we asked the concierge at our hotel to recommend a place and they suggested Al Giardinetto da Severino which was literally down the road.
Mr D’s fam bam decided to take us to the Versaille, unfortunately there was a strike so we ended up turning the car around (took us ONE HOUR to get there….). Mr D’s fam bam decided to take us to a nice french restaurant for dinner so they called up and made a reservation and in we went. We were at La Regalade which is one of the many restaurants that Bruno Doucet has.
Mr D’s cousin took us out to a Portuguese restaurant for our last night in Paris. It was quite busy but luckily we managed to get a table.
Menu – how adorable!
Miss Tour Guide and her hubby decided to take us out for some FRENCH food because you guessed it, we were in FRANCE! They took us to la tete a toto and the setting is a classroom in a school where the tables and chairs they used were what was used in a school (nerd alert!). It was super adorable as!!
