✨ It’s been a while since my last reel (almost 3 months!) I’m back with some proper content and exciting news coming soon 😶

In the meantime, let’s talk about one summer experience you need to catch before it’s gone…

🌿 Battuta by Yannick Alléno, a limited-time pop-up at the Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane. Inspired by the travels of Ibn Battuta, the menu fuses Middle Eastern, North African, and Asian flavours in the most beautiful summer terrace setting.

🍴 My favourites and must-orders:
- Prawn toast
- Flat chicken dumplings

Other highlights include the chicken shawarma bao, sticky samosas, steamed sea bream, and even crispy kadaifi with cardamom ice cream.

📍 Four Seasons Hotel London at Park Lane, Mayfair
⏳ Only here for the summer!

✨ A new gem has just opened in St Christopher’s Place and honestly, Noreen might be one of my favourite meals I’ve had in London recently.

Serving up a fresh yet authentic take on Middle Eastern cuisine, Noreen draws inspiration from across the Arabian Peninsula and the Levant. Expect beautifully cooked dishes full of flavour, from fire-grilled meats off the Minqala, slow-cooked mains, to warm flatbreads straight from the Tannour oven. The mezze? Perfect for sharing.

Drinks are a highlight too- Created with Mr. Lyan, the cocktail menu features ingredients like black lime, tahini, and hibiscus. And if you’re not drinking, every cocktail is available as a mocktail too.

The standout for me? The prawns are easily some of the freshest and most flavourful I’ve ever had. Juicy, perfectly cooked, and packed with spice. The velvety-soft hummus was another highlight, silky smooth and rich without being heavy. And don’t leave without trying the cardamom bun with date syrup… Warm, sticky, and just the right amount of sweet. A perfect way to start the meal.

Warm, stylish interiors, amazing food, and just a stone’s throw from Oxford Street… this one’s a must-visit.

Thank you for having me noreenlondon, will be sure to be back here. ✨ #invite

💚 I never thought I’d become a matcha person… But the new Triple Supreme Matcha Latte from heytea.uk completely changed my mind. 🍃✨

Layers of soft matcha mochi, matcha jelly, and smooth blended milk, finished with a light dusting of matcha powder. It’s rich, balanced, and genuinely one of the best matcha drinks I’ve had.

I was invited to create it myself in-store, and since its launch last week, I’ve already been back twice 🫶🏽

The iconic Cinnamon Social… Now in gelato form? 😍🍦

Badiani x Ole & Steen have teamed up for the ultimate summer collab… Think creamy gelato with that signature cinnamon swirl we all know and love. It’s indulgent, it’s nostalgic, and it’s only here for a limited time ✨ 

Catch it before it melts away ✨✨✨

🍪✨Amsterdam’s favourite cookie shop… but was it mine? 🤔

We popped into Het Koekemannetje on Runstraat, and it’s easy to see why locals and visitors love it. Cookies are made fresh all day, right in front of you, and the smell alone will stop you in your tracks.

They offer a range of flavours like pistachio, milk chocolate, white chocolate, dark chocolate, brownie and more- All handcrafted and weighed by the gram using top-tier Belgian chocolate and Dutch flour. No artificial additives, just 100% natural goodness and a little Amsterdam love in every bite.

I tried one of their signature milk chocolate cookies… Rich, gooey centre, and a good edge, though I personally found the texture a little more cakey than I’d prefer. That said, my friend loved it and went back for seconds, so it’s definitely one for sweet tooths to judge for themselves.

✨ For me, Van Stapele still holds the top spot, but Het Koekemannetje is 100% worth a stop if you’re exploring the Nine Streets and craving something sweet.

✨ PS: Want to make it extra? Their Cookie Cruise drops warm cookies straight from the bridge on the canal. Only in Amsterdam.

🍔 Smashburger… but make it luxury.

Tucked away in the heart of Amsterdam, le_smashburger is redefining what a smashburger experience can be. Step inside and you’re met with interiors that feel more like a curated design studio than a burger joint- Think warm wood tones, brushed metal, and boutique hotel style lighting.

The star of the show? The special Smashburger (€11.95) Impossibly crisp edges and a juicy centre that hits different. It’s rare to find a smashburger that surprises you… But this one genuinely did.

With just two burgers on the menu, Le Smash proves that less truly is more- Quality over quantity in the best possible way. And for a touch of playful nostalgia? There’s even a Crash Bandicoot arcade machine tucked in the corner.

📍A must-visit for those seeking exceptional food in a high-design space, and one of Amsterdam’s most intriguing new culinary stops.

🇹🇷🇳🇱 Stumbled upon a hidden gem in Amsterdam, and it turned out to be the highlight of our trip ✨ 

While clocking in over 20,000 steps exploring the city, we discovered Effendy Lahmacun Café, a modest spot serving some of the most authentic Turkish pizzas I’ve ever tasted. Each lahmacun is crafted fresh to order, featuring a thin, crispy crust topped with flavorful minced meat and herbs, then rolled with fresh salad and a squeeze of lemon.. It’s perfection 🤌🏼

The café’s roots trace back to a family tradition, with owner Levent Akar continuing the legacy by infusing love and care into every dish. Despite its unassuming appearance, Effendy has garnered a loyal following, leading to the opening of a second location on Overtoom. 

Prices are refreshingly affordable, starting at around €8 for a classic lahmacun, with combo deals including a drink for just over €10. And for those visiting near prayer times, there’s a mosque conveniently located right next door. 

📍 Effendy Lahmacun Café, Rozengracht 148, Amsterdam

✨ Not your average stroopwafel. This one’s got a century of craftsmanship behind it. vanwonderenstroopwafels 

Van Wonderen Stroopwafels in Amsterdam isn’t just a sweet treat, it’s a bite into Dutch heritage. Originating from a family legacy that began in 1907 with Gerardus van Wonderen, their journey from dairy farming in Bergen to artisanal baking in Amsterdam is a testament to tradition and quality.  

Their stroopwafels? Crispy, buttery waffle encased in rich caramel syrup, and elevated with toppings such as  crushed Oreos, pistachios, or white chocolate.

While prices can be on the higher side- Individual stroopwafels range from €10 to €13, and gift boxes of 6 start at €19.99. The quality make it a worthwhile treat. 

Whether you’re eating it fresh from their Kalverstraat shop or bringing a box home, it’s a beautiful way to taste a piece of Dutch history.

🍪🍫 The best cookie I’ve ever had in my life. And yes, I know how bold that sounds.

Tucked away on Amsterdam’s Rokin, Van Stapele Koekmakerij has mastered the art of restraint: they bake just one cookie, and it’s nothing short of perfection. A rich, dark Valrhona chocolate dough encases a molten white chocolate centre… Crisp on the outside, warm and gooey within.

I bought two boxes of 8 and have already nearly finished the second. Even after freezing, a quick reheat (instructions thoughtfully included) brings them back to their freshly baked glory.

The shop itself is charmingly minimalist, focusing solely on this singular delight. They open daily at 10am and bake continuously until they sell out, often by late afternoon.

Three visits. One iconic bite. Was it worth the hype? Absolutely.✨ chun_ams 

Chun Café in Amsterdam is the viral brunch destination where Korean café culture meets European elegance and it’s every bit as photogenic as it is delicious. From soft-focus interiors to beautifully plated egg toast sandwiches, this spot has become a must-visit for foodies.

After two previous attempts (yes, the lines are that long), we finally secured a seat on our third visit- and even then, it was over an hour’s wait. Be prepared to queue whether you dine in or take away… but once you’re in, you’ll understand the obsession.

✨ We tried their two bestselling sandwiches:
🥩 Rib Eye Bulgogi: marinated beef with scrambled eggs, caramelised onion jam, and Chun’s signature sauce, all nestled in pillowy-soft milk bread.
🧄 Garlic Shrimp: juicy prawns glazed in garlic, layered with soft egg and a gentle kick of spice.

Every bite was rich, balanced, and full of flavour. The bread? Super soft,  think brioche, but elevated.

The interior is warm and minimalist with a refined, cozy charm - but seating is limited, so arrive early if you want to dine in.

📍A must-visit for anyone curating an elevated food experience in Amsterdam.
✈️ Save this for your next city break

🍟✨ Not your average fries. Fabel Friet in Amsterdam is redefining the humble chip with craftsmanship and flavour that stands out from the crowd. fabelfriet 

Their fries are cut fresh daily, pre-fried low and slow to draw out moisture, then cooled to exactly 5°C before their final fry - the result? A golden, crispy shell with a soft, fluffy centre. Oh, and they’re fried with the skin on for extra flavour and less waste.

I went for two favourites that totally lived up to the hype:
🔸 Truffle Parmesan – rich, aromatic, and absolutely luxurious
🔸 Spicy Mayo with Cheddar – melty cheddar with a fiery edge that lingers just right

Toppings come at an extra €1.75 each, bringing the total to just under £5, a small price for such gourmet street food.

Queues? Yes. But we breezed through in about 15 minutes. Quick, satisfying, and totally worth the pit stop.

🤎 Would you spend £265 on a single cup of coffee?

SHOT’s ultra-luxe brew has been making waves - with three sleek locations in Central London: Mayfair, Knightsbridge & Marylebone, plus international spots in Jordan and Kuwait.

I’m not even a regular coffee drinker, but you can really taste the quality here.

The £8 Spanish latte? Worth the treat.
The pistachio? A little too thick and sweet for me - but beautifully presented. ✨

If you know your smash burgers, Bun & Sum in Whitechapel should already be on your radar. 🍔 These guys are award-winning for a reason, serving up LA-style burgers with serious attitude. bunandsum 

I was lucky enough to try an off-menu special: the Angry Smash… Imagine two cheeseburgers used as the bun, filled with double patties and mac & cheese bites. It’s loud, messy, and absolutely worth every bite.

Pro tip: Order the chilli on the side and use this as a dip.
You won’t regret it.

🍫 Christopher’s legendary French toast gets a luxurious summer twist, and it’s one for the books. christopherswc2 

Inspired by the viral Dubai chocolate trend, this limited-edition creation features their signature custard-soaked brioche, filled with a delicate pistachio kataifi, then finished with a warm pour of rich, glossy chocolate.

At £22, it’s undeniably steep, but the portion is generous and made to share (or not…)

Decadent, dramatic, and delicious, this is London’s most lavish French toast yet. I personally preferred the milk chocolate version however this is one worth trying as it’s a summer special ✨
