Walking past La Paradeta, you would barely notice it, or if you did, possibly mistake it for a fish market. This seafood based restaurant is a favourite among locals and we only heard about it through a mutual friend living in Barcelona. The seafood is fresh and varies depending on the catch of the day, ranging from tuna to heaps of clams and huge lobsters. The seafood is cooked as it is, sometimes with a brush of garlic and butter, served with bread and cheap wine. The seafood is some of the best I've ever eaten and the restaurant relies on it's quality produce and local customers. It is clearly not aimed for tourists, considering it's location and plastic-kitchen decour and despite ordering in broken Spanish, the food and atomosphere were both an amazing experience.
SKY BAR IN VIENNA
A completely opposite experience, Sky Bar offers traditional Austrian cuisine smartened up a bit overlooking the steeples of St. Stephens Cathedral. We ordered sachertorte (a personal favourite) and a slice of apple strudel (another must have). Both were gorgeous and reasonably priced; although you are paying a little extra for the view. There are plenty of places to go for a decent dessert in Vienna but this is a must for anyone looking for a classic Austrian cake or pastry.
ODERQUELLE IN BERLIN
Oderquelle was one of my favourite restaurants in terms of location. Prenzlaur Berg, where Oderquelle is situated, is a very relaxed, friendly neighbourhood with plenty of appetising looking restaurants and cafes along the main streets. We sat outside in the summer sun, next to a number of chic-looking couples mingled with local families and friends. Our dishes were well-cooked with a homemade feel to them, ranging from roast poussin with romanesco broccoli, beef stew with dumplings and a cherry tomato risotto.
