Jack’s Wife Freda – 224 Lafayette Street, NYC, USA

On a recommendation, headed over to Jack’s Wife Freda for breakfast on our first day in New York. A very cute little restaurant, with a couple of tables outside, friendly staff, and basically a very welcoming atmosphere. All in all, a most enjoyable meal and experience. Would definitely go back. TBDV Rating: 🍺🍺🍺🍺

Beet Restaurant – Gough Street, NoHo, Hong Kong

A rather special occasion prompted a search for a new, interesting and vegetarian friendly (obviously – duh!) restaurant in Hong Kong.

I guess this means...

Yum Cha – Central, Hong Kong

Just gonna cut to the chase here – lunch was amazing. If you get the chance, take it. Started with a Potato and Leek soup,...

Farmacy – Westbourne Grove London, UK

Visited The Farmacy mid-week for an early lunch, so no need to make a reservation. Lovely setting and decor, attentive wait staff, and an interesting looking menu had TBDV looking forward to the meal! We ordered: An order of sweet potato fries and an Asian Salad – which was supposed to be a mixed leaf salad with broccoli, cucumber, mushrooms...

Dishoom – King’s Cross, London, UK

Arrived at 6pm, and was told it will be at least an hour before the 2 of us can be seated. TBDV is hungry! Well, to be brutally honest, thirsty! Stay tuned for further details…. …………………………………………………. Thankfully, the wait wasn’t quite an hour, and we were very grateful to the Dishoom crew for offering us masala chai while queuing to...
