Porto is an amazing city for food. It is easy to eat well on a budget in the Portuguese city, with a breakfast of a pastel de nata and a coffee normally available for just a couple of euros. But for a bigger meal, many people visiting Porto will opt for a Francesinha: the city's most famous dish. This Café Santiago review covers whether the restaurant does have Porto's best … [Read more...]
Gran Cafe Central Tangier review
When we visited Tangier recently, one of the things I was looking forward to was the food, because I'd had really good, affordable food in Marrakech. Knowing that a lot of Moroccan food is things I actually eat - I am fussy! - I didn't research places to eat too much and we ended up choosing Gran Cafe Central mid-afternoon, tired and hungry after a walking tour.

Sometimes it’s a sunset spot, sometimes a jewellery shop, sometimes it’s a gelato place, but it’s always all over my feed as soon as I’ve seen one video about it. When I first … [Read more...]
Zero Box Lodge Porto review
When I revisited Porto in August 2026, I wanted to stay somewhere cheap, central, clean, modern and with a bit of personality. Zero Box Lodge Porto ticked all the boxes. I didn’t need anywhere fancy, and I knew we’d barely be in the accommodation due to there being so many things to do in Porto, but I wanted something a little bit different. I’ve stayed in an Airbnb in Porto … [Read more...]
