I can honestly say that I ate my way through all of abroad and had some of the best food in London, Italy, Budapest, Amsterdam, and Paris. While in Paris, I indulged in one of my favorite desserts… macaroons! I must have eaten thirty during my stay and could not pass a bakery without seeing them in the shop window and immediately going in. One of my favorite places to get them was Pierre Herme on the Champs Elysees. I still dream of them! In Amsterdam I got so hungry while walking around and just like in New York City, there were food vendors on the streets. I grabbed a hot dog from one of these vendors and it was so good and most definitely reminded me of NYC. In Budapest, my friends and I ate at a restaurant called Mazel Tov and we ordered almost one of everything on the menu. Not only was the food out of this world amazing, but the ambiance of the restaurant was so beautiful. There was a long wait and they did not take reservations, but the wait was worth it. I still crave the falafel and gyro from there and wish it was a chain here in America. While in Italy every meal consisted of carbs! From pasta to pizza I was eating gnocchi and or truffle pizza for every meal. My favorite truffle pizza I ate was from a restaurant called Paper Moon in Milan. It tasted just as good as the picture makes it look. For gnocchi I had two favorites one being in Venice called Dal Moro’s Fresh Pasta to Go. I ordered gnocchi with chicken and pesto and it came in a big take out container. We took our pasta to go and sat by the canals and savored every bite. My second favorite gnocchi I had was at Osteria Santo Spirito in Florence. It was a truffle gnocchi and had baked cheese on top. As soon as we all got our food all the conversations stopped for a good twenty minutes until we all finishes are huge dishes of gnocchi. Since I was living in London I had so many amazing dining experiences, but a few places that I still think about are Drunch and Duck & Waffle. Drunch is a really great brunch/lunch place with multiple locations in London. They had everything from omelets to acai bowls to pancakes to sandwiches and healthy juices. I personally loved their juices, sandwiches, and acai bowls. Duck & Waffle is an experience within itself. It is on the 40th floor of the Heron Tower with floor-to-ceiling windows. I of course got the signature dish…. Duck and waffles and I don’t even love duck, but it was worth trying it because it exceeded my expectations completely. Not to mention the views from the restaurant creating a whole dining experience.
