What is our story about?

Life IS unpredictable! You never know what can happen with you and where, when and whom you can meet. We really agree with this because … It happened with us! Some American guy and Ukrainian girl meet in Amsterdam on August 26, 2011 in front of the Hotel Pulitzer. And so here our story begins…

Our names are Clinton and Tanya. We are both still trying to decide whether our meeting was fate but while we decide we have agreed to keep traveling together. This is our savory story of our traveling experiences, the places that we visit, the people that we meet, the food that we enjoy and generally the cultures that we discover. Welcome to our blog!

You never know how big your order will be! Seemed we did not order a lot. Just a soup to share, salad for each and some vegetables to split. But it was too much! Although it was very good! Unfortunately, I do not remember the name of the restaurant to recommend it…. But it was super good! We liked it…)

Does it look yummy? :) The lunch during our tour was included. It was close to the ruins of Capharnaum in the “St. Peter’s Restaurant” that was pretty ugly building where we served ourselves from a buffet. There were tons of people that made the place to be worse! There were some vegetables we ate, trying to choose the healthiest options they had (not including meat, suspicious fish and desserts that we try to stay away from). It was ok. Better then nothing :)

This was one of the most beautiful restaurants we have ever experienced. Charming interior and delightful food!..

…and I can not remember its name…;(

p.s. Thanks to our bikes we had extra time and desire to search for a good place to eat. This one was hidden in some sidestreet but randomly we found it! We parked our bicycles nearby :)

“Rustico”, a slice of Italy! It was very yummy! Beautiful and delicious meal! We did not expected our luch to be this way and the restaurant to be so good!

Lulu restaurant in Tel Aviv. It was too much food we ordered but it was worth trying. Good quality, wonderful taste, excellent service and a charming atmosphere. I am not sure where this restaurant is, because driving our bicycles we randomly found this place, but it was really good one :)

This was our lunch in Tel Aviv. We loved this place! The name itself tells you a lot. It is called “Fresh Kitchen” meaning it has just fresh options to choose being specialized on health. The menu includes the information about calories and nutritional values doses. Everyhting looked so good! It is such a great place if you care what you eat!

p.s. “Fresh Kitchen” has its official site and Fb page but there is no English, unfortunately.

We were lucky to find an Authentic Jaffa Restaurant “Hay Kahil” for our first dinner in Israel. It was good! We liked the taste and the quality of food we ordered (salads and fish). We also liked good service and very nice relaxing atmosphere inside.

“Txm People’s Cafe Brasserie”

We liked it! It was our last meal in Istanbul (our lunch before leaving Turkey) and we enjoyed everything: nice unterior, quality food and good service :)

Restaurant “The Winston Brasserie”. We liked this place (it is right around the corner of the “W hotel”) where ate twice enjoying good quality salads and delicious soup of the day.

Mmm, yummy! Our healthy salad & vegetables dinner last night in the “Nisanyan” restaurant. Next day we flew to Istambul...:)

Mmm…Our beautiful romantic “light-salad” dinner in the “Nisanyan” restaurant… Outside… Next to the tiny fontain with small candles that added such a charming atmosphere…

…coming for having a breakfast in the “Nisanyan” restaurant… It’s a charming little nook!

“Nisanyan” restaurant during the day-lights. While staying we used to have our breakfasts here.

Our first dinner in Turkey was in the restaurant of the hotel “Nisanyan”. What can we say about it? It was an amazing place with a very charming atmosphere and an excellent meal! Salad was super tasty and big enough to share, and fish, oh my Goddess(!), it was the best fish I had ever tasted! We loved eating in the “Nisanyan” restaurant a lot! So that’s why we came back every night for not only having a dinner but really for enjoying the place, the service, people, atmosphere and food for sure.

After visiting the Trakošćan castle, we found some option to have a lunch in the restaurant in the hotel located not far from the castle. Was it the slowest service ever?I do not know (without experiencing every single restaurant in the world) but !!! we were waiting forever! Seemed we lost both hope and appetite…

I am so glad to have this only photo about that moment when we were so excited about coming food that took so long! We were just sitting and waiting… Sitting and waiting…
