Delicious cocktails start at £5 and it's easy to lose track of time and work your way through the whole menu. Tea For Two (£10) comes served in a chunky pattered teapot with matching cups and saucers and - be warned - a generous amount of alcohol. The perfect way to start an evening, or begin the end of an evening, depending on how well your date went...]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20215 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19570
Items flying off the shelves have included ski goggles, Knight Rider annuals, electro-age musical instruments among other weird and wonderful things.

Recently spied browsing the rails have been Peaches Geldof, The Mighty Boosh and The Black Kids.

All-white leather and black wall paintings with ridiculous variations on the humble tortilla. Fantastic place full of the pretty people.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15667 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15499
Smooth jazz plays in the background while you eat. Try the brandy steak and the chilli calamari.

The Buzbey is a Cape treasure. Reasonably priced, booking is advisable at weekends. Gay friendly.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/15499 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13780

Situated in southwest France in the gorgeous and historic Ariege department, on a hilltop with breathtaking views of the Pyrenees, little can prepare you for the gloriously time-warpy sight of several fully-equipped and lovingly maintained genuine Airstream trailers, each one with its own garden and totally kitted out with authentic vintage gear. From orange sun loungers to pink flamingoes, you have to see it to believe it.

Facilities include a farm shop that sells basic goods (including farm-fresh organic lamb for the barbie), shower/toilet block, hot tub and last, but not least, the groovy Apollo lounge - an Airstream converted into a proper bar house in a circus tent, serving meals and providing entertainment.

The surrounding area is packed with stuff to do. If you don't fancy just chilling out in front of your cool caravan, you can go hiking, biking, fishing, climbing, Cathar castle-spotting or sightseeing in nearby Carcassonne to mention only a few options.

Belrepayre truly is a fabulous way to discover an area of outstanding beauty and laid-back charm.

Must be seen!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13498 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10891 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10891 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7487 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7487
