This city is hard to beat. It doesn´t cost the earth to get there (I just paid taxes), the weather´s great and for a foodie like me it is heaven, especially if you like seafood. Try Taller de Tapas on Rambla de Catalunya for lunch or Can Sole in the Born. Found this flat on IveBeenThere- renovated Art Deco place with a garden 5 minutes from the Gaudi houses on Passeg de Gracia

I was travelling Turkey last year and booked all my travel through Walkabout Travel Turkey www.walkabout.com.tr They were fantastic. I wanted to be all good and be a real backpacker but it was so brilliant to have all the basics like transport, accommodation and attractions found for me, allowing me to do all the fun and interesting things. All the people in the office went out of their way to make sure i had the best trip possible and loved all my stories when i returned to Istanbul.

Just an excellent holiday home and staff. Great location and proximity to rail station. Lots of restaurants close by. Very clean. 2 mins walk to Metro. Its location near to the termini proved to be very handy as we got a train from the airport. Would definitely recommend and would not hesitate to return. Good value and highly recommended. I suggest everyone who is planning a trip to rome to rent this apartment.

Great restaurant for grilled fish. Ate here twice. Found the service a little lacking at times for the calibre of restaurant, but food made up for it.

Amidst the chaos of San Antonio, there is a fine restaurant. You may feel initially you are entering the king of kitsch, however the food is excellent with an obligatory cool band playing.

The world famous Mangonui Fish Shop is situated on piles over the harbour. It is the most popular fish shop in New Zealand. This is because the fish is landed at the wharf next door and filleted on the premises. They cook it, and a good variety of other sea food, wrap it in newsprint and you take it over to a vacant table and enjoy it and the great views.

They have a full liquor license and have several draft beers on tap and a large wine selection which you can buy by the glass.

We were there in early June and thought it was fantastic the place has a great atmosphere and very friendly staff.

Le Nid d'Aigle (aptly named - it's position is indeed an Eagles Nest) is a restaurant in Gourdon; the most beautiful clifftop village in the maritimes Alps, overlooking the Mediterranean.

The quality of food eaten in this restaurant is incredible. Superb. The supremely talented chef - who you spy on occasion through the glass partition to the kitchen, with his tall white *toque* and his oh so French moustache - knows exactly how to tantalize those tastebuds and have you clamouring for more.

Perfect portion sizes, value for money, gastronomic without being pretentious at all, and the yummiest desserts ever. I went with some friends one of whom is vegetarian - at last - proper vegetarian food.

This restaurant puts France very firmly back on the culinary circuit. Too good to pass by without recommending it (we got back home this morning!). We'll be going again and again every time we hit the cote d'Azur. The waiting staff were very helpful and charming - a discreet, efficient, excellent team of waiting staff! Bravo. Felicitations. A restaurant that combines brasserie style eating with gastronomic quality.

Maria's walls are illustrated with characters from children's fairy tales. This kooky charm extends into the handwritten jotter style menu's.

True to form the food is magical and if the characters could come to life they would surely follow cartoon wafts of delicious food all the way to your table. Pizza's are fantastic with a choice of mozzarella or feta cheese with more or less what ever else you want (the feta one is better). Feta stuffed garlic bread is the best I've ever had and jugs of house red and white are just as good as any of the overpriced bottles.

All this takes place al fresco under the leafy protection of a beautiful Mulberry tree. There is limited seating inside.

Only open at night. Expect to wait for a table at high season. A pizza and salad (both shared between two) + wine came to under €30. There is a great jeweller's/treasure trove next door where you can browse and chat to Harris(the owner) while you are waiting.

Tazones and Lastres are two very pretty fishing villages a half hour's drive apart.

Tazones has a lovely walk from behind the lighthouse up though woods to the cliffs and views out over the sea.

Lastres is less commercialized and you can eat wonderful fresh fish at a restaurant at the harbour called "El Puerto".

A roast meat restaurant in Vieux Nice: if you're looking for an alternative to pasta, pizza or nicoise cuisine this place will sort you out in no time.

It's a tiny new (opened May 2009) good-looking restaurant/take-away by Place Rossetti offering simply five types of roasted meats, with a choice of either mash, roast potatoes or ratatouille on the side - eat in and you get a mesclun salad included in the price.

We've tried the beef, which is served French-style rare, and lamb so far and they were both delicious: seriously good value at 11euro each. After sharing one generous take-out serving of lamb between two at our apartment rental we were so impressed we went back to dine in the next day.

It's a brilliant concept and a very welcome addition (for carnivores at least) to the Vieille Ville's restaurant scene. Go early if you want the half chicken - or the window seat!

Fabulous market, recently revamped, brimming with good vibes + interesting crowd + food/drink of all descriptions, from morning cafe con leche to long after midnight. Reasonably priced. Brilliant site for people watching round the clock, not to mention the food - one of the most amazing places in the entire city!

Last weekend I had visitors to Buenos Aires and we went for an evening of tango in "La Boca", Buenos Aires. The setting and atmosphere were perfect. Boca is a traditional, folkloric area of Buenos Aires, full of colourful houses and cobbled streets...

The tango was equally as impressive. It began with a comic take on immigrant life in the 30's and progressed to fulfil the more glamorous, elegant expectations we have of tango, accompanied by a fantastic orchestra!

We ate nearby, in a small restaurant decorated with antiques and Argentine memorabilia; all in all it was a thoroughly fascinating evening, which I will never forget! A MUST for every Buenos Aires visitor…

Excellent Thai restaurant - with lots of veggie options, and some more unusual dishes too. Try some of the chef's specialities. Everything we had was great. If Jintana was in London (my home town) I would definitely be a regular.

Fantastic Lebanese veggie / vegan menu at Flandres de Liban (website even has English menu) in Wazemmes.

More centrally, Aux Indes, do a great veggie set lunch and dinner - but you have to ask for it.

And don't miss trying a 'palette' of four (small) different beers at Les Trois Brasseurs close to the old Lille Station (Lille Flandres, rather than the Eurostar station).

Aux Indes is at 38, Rue Thiers, Lille

Maat is a private dining club in the district of Belgrano in Buenos Aires. You normally need to be a member to eat here but they will accept tourists. Please book ahead and expect a formal dining room and incredible service. The six-course tasting menu is great value. Expect upwards of $100 for two.
