Sips & Bites
Welcome to Sips & Bites—our little corner where we chat about all the grub and drinks we actually enjoyed while wandering around. No food critics here, just honest stories about the pubs, cafés, markets, and wine tastings that caught our eye (and our stomachs). Whether it was a cheeky pint, a surprising street snack, or a lovely meal shared with friends, you’ll find it here - just real, simple, and tasty.
Just sharing the tasty stuff we tried on the road - no pretence, just good food and drink.
What We Ate in Porto
From grilled chicken at a locals’ favourite to port tasting by the river, and even a birthday dinner in the Douro Valley, our time in Porto was full of good food and memorable moments. It wasn’t about chasing the fanciest plates, but about enjoying honest flavours that made the trip feel special.
What We Ate in Carcassonne
Two nights in Carcassonne gave us more than medieval walls and cobblestones. The real highlight was diving into traditional French dishes that felt like a warm hug on a plate. From accidental bakery refuge to hearty cassoulet dinners, here’s what we ate and loved in this historic town.
