Mind you, it’s my first and last German meal. I can only stomach one on any given trip, then i’m right back to Asian food…luckily the Vietnamese food here is half decent

Was totally famished in Vienna a couple of years ago I had to just switch to just eating dessert…there’s only so much schnitzel and potato salad an Australian can take

Last night in Petite France Strasbourg with friends.



Chicken Breast



Pork knuckle with a honey glaze



Our friends meals. We confused the staff a bit by having two Australians and three Germans ordering.

We are staying in an area of Lyon that has only been fairly newly developed. But it is still walking distance from the old town As well as modern apartment blocks there are University campuses and student accommodation. Just a100 metres or so away from us is a sort of foodhall/night spot.

It is designed to offer young chefs a chance to display their talent.





We shared a Senegales meal. Lots of peanut - almost sate like.



And and one from the Afghan stall - with Ravioli.

Lyon old town. La Meuniere. I had the 35E lunch special. My wife just had a main of fish - 26E




Salade Lyonnaise. Almost a meal in itself with lots of lardons



My Flank steak with potatoes and Saint Marcellin sauce



Served pink



My wife had Pike Quenelle with freshwater crayfish sauce and rice




I finished off with Cherry Flan.



It was all very nice but required a long walk afterwards.

Doesn’t look very appetising.

Yes catering on SQ has definitely gone down hill.

Koultoura Restaurant Santorini. We chose this place for the view but the food and staff were awesome as well. The portion sizes were big and this would have easily fed three normal eaters, but it was that good that the two of us ate most of it! This place is a 10/10 for me.

. Volcano Saganaki Cheese (the dish at the back) - yellow fried cheese, carob cracker crust and tomato jam.
. Spinach and Rocket Salad - spinach, rocket, raisins, sweet & sour pear, manouri cheese, sun-dried tomatoes, balsamic, ginger and sesame oil dressing
. Black Pork Chop - it was supposed to come with sweet potato purée but we got grilled veggies instead. The chop was huge and I’m guessing around 600 grams or so.

What has now seemingly become a first night tradition for DejaBrew+1 and myself when visiting Japan -: Ichiran Ramen



It looked prettier than this before I mixed it all together

And when staying at the CP Changi this is also always my first dish. Seafood laksa.

Lunch at Perouges a mediarval hilltop town we visited today based on the very good recommendations of Flashback and Cambriamarsh.


.

I had a two course meal. The first was a charcuterie plate.You served yourself from a refrigerated cabinet containing the normal cold meats plus about six or seven different terrines and pates. There was also a selection of various salad dishes. Unlimited visits were allowed. I had two smallish goes so I could try all the terrines.



Then I had baked ham with orange sauce.


My wife had chicken confit.



All hearty provincial fare.

Breakfast served to the room in our hotel in Thessaloniki. You had multiple choices and servings were plentiful. Strapatsada, avocado with egg and tomato, mixed fruits and Greek yogurt, breads with butter and condiments, juice. Didn’t need lunch!
