“In Porto there was this restaurant called La Ricotta and their shrimp risotto changed my life. My boyfriend had their duck confit and it changed his too.”

“While in Florence, my family stopped to eat at a restaurant called Il Gatto e la Volpe. I ordered steak in balsamic, and I honestly still think about it. The steak medallions were super tender and cooked perfectly, and it was in this thick balsamic reduction. I would have that meal again and again.”

“Pizza-sized pancakes in a variety of flavors. I tried the apple cinnamon one and couldn’t believe how delicious and perfect the pancakes were. The apples were sliced so thin and very fresh tasting!”

“Nystekt Strömming in Stockholm’s Old Town. Fried herring, great accompaniments, and it’s cheap!”

“Stunning rooftop castle seating, view overlooking the lake, twinkle lights, great service, and the best food I’ve ever had. My husband and I went there two nights in a row on our three night trip. We had bruschetta that I can only describe as tasting like a garden bursting with color, pasta marinara, ravioli filled with locally caught white fish and a sauce that was so flavorful and unlike anything I’ve ever tasted — and reasonably affordable as well.”

“The best Swedish cinnamon buns and cardamom buns I’ve ever eaten. Sweden as a bakery/pastry destination is so underrated and both Valhalla and Petrus do not disappoint. Both serve the fluffiest, softest, and most flavorful buns around.”

“Afternoon tea at the Orchard Tea Garden. It was the first time I was introduced to clotted cream and it is seriously addictive.”

“Chili and Pfeffer in Vienna serves Chinese with an Austrian twist. We found it almost by accident on vacation and went back again a few days later because I was having dreams about their spicy wontons. The roast lamb is also wonderful, but the ribs are the most flavorful food I have ever eaten.”
