Il Basilico – Funchal

Funchal - Madeira's capital - has some fine restaurants but a "must" whenever we visit is the sublime Il Basilico. Owned by the successful PortoBay Hotels & Resorts, it's one of several eateries the group has in the city and, in our view, one of its finest. Situated on Funchal’s popular Lido promenade, this attractively [...]

Rosie’s Kitchen – Bude

A stone’s throw from Crooklet’s Beach in Bude is a family-run café serving up delicious diner-style food. Here, you can expect very generous portions, quick service and polite, helpful staff. We visited one evening while staying at nearby Wooda Farm Holiday Park. Despite it being very busy, there were no long waiting times or that [...]

The Atlantic Hotel (Jersey) – Revisited

It was my last morning at the Atlantic Hotel, my favourite place to stay on Jersey, and a couple walked past as I headed to the restaurant. Pulling a hefty suitcase, the wife turned to her husband, saying: “Oh dear, I guess all good things come to an end!” Sadly they do, as I discovered [...]

Hub Box – Exeter

If you fancy a delicious vegan burger - or any kind, for that matter - I’d recommend heading to Hub Box. I had the pleasure of eating at the Exeter branch a few days ago and wasn’t disappointed. Sat outside watching the world go by while I munched through my tasty burger and scrummy fries [...]

Franco Manca – Bath

We had the pleasure of eating at a Franco Manca pizzeria for the first time at the weekend – and it certainly won’t be the last occasion, either. In fact, we’re already thinking about where to visit next, so good was the overall experience. (c) Richard Webber The first thing which amazed us [...]

The Stable – Bristol

As I move more towards a completely vegan diet, it’s reassuring to see an increasing number of restaurants and cafés following in the footsteps of eateries like The Stable in offering suitable dishes on their menus. We were suitably impressed by a recent visit to The Stable’s Bristol branch, just one of 17 restaurants the [...]
