We continue on our exploration of food along the Croatian coast. Seafood was a must again, obviously, but we also discovered that lamb was no slouch either. Overall, we found food prices in Split more affordable than Dubrovnik, but no less tasty.
Read MoreOur food experience here was all about proximity. Dubrovnik’s proximity to the coast meant amazingly fresh seafood and its proximity across the Adriatic Sea from Italy meant that we found a few familiar dishes we’d been craving.
Read MoreDublin is known for its fair share of rainy grey days (even though we had some gorgeous sunny ones in October). The food here seems built to ward off the chill of inclement weather and does warm, hearty, and filling at its best.
Read MorePorto may be a small, walkable city, but be sure to bring a large, healthy appetite. The food ranges from some local specialties (the obvious port wine comes to mind) to some great Portuguese staples to a surprisingly thriving and tasty brunch culture.
Read MoreIt’s been a few years since we took Food Fridays on the road and what better place to start again than a small volcanic island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.
Read MoreIt’s not too hard to fill up a day or two in Vancouver with continuous snacking, munching, sampling, and lunching. There’s a ton of variety (Cambodian food, anyone?) and a lot of competition, plus, it’s a good indoor activity when the weather just won’t co-operate.
Read MoreLima is making headlines as one of the great places to visit for foodies. From Michelin star restaurants to creative Asian fusion to hearty little local Peruvian eateries, taste buds that visit Lima will not be bored. There is a creative pulse to the food culture here, an understanding between palate, tradition, and experimentation. Our recommendation? Try the grilled meats. Try the seafood. Then try everything else!
Read MoreThis was our first time in South American, and up to this point, we haven’t had much exposure to Peruvian cuisine. But now, we can definitely say that food in Cusco is seriously good and seriously fresh. Guidebooks can list all of the tasty foods to try, but that only hints at the flavors ours taste buds will encounter. We fell in love with papaya juice, battled altitude sickness with coca tea, and discovered that even the tiny little quinoa, when done right, can blow your mind.
Read MoreIt's hard to wander through Osaka without snacking. Little shops (and even some not-so-little shops) are everywhere offering bite-sized treats and beverages. With the average price hitting only a dollar or two, there are a ton of sweet deals to keep us fueled up and going.
Read MoreOsaka is historically known as "The Nation's Kitchen". Although the original intent of that phrase was more practical than complimentary, Osaka has blossomed into a food-centric city where almost everything is made fresh, delicious, and right before your eyes.
Read MoreThree words come to mind when describing Japanese food: preparation, presentation, and perfection. There is a lot of care and practise that goes into creating these beautiful morsels. Although indulging in steaming bowls ramen was on our must-eat list, Kyoto's thirty degree temperatures made us unable to resist the sweet temptation of cool icy treats.
Read MoreWith only a weekend in Waterton, it was a bit of a stretch to get enough for a food post, but we still managed to enjoy high tea at the Prince of Wales Hotel and to satisfy my pickle craving for a while. Special thanks to our friends for ordering a few extra bites to keep Food Fridays alive!
