The Greek gods have been shining down on @oma.lond The Greek gods have been shining down on @oma.london, one of London's best new modern Greek spots. Chef & restaurateur @david.carter.uk (of @smokestakuk & @manteca_london) has taken over two floors at Borough Market, with casual, moody @agora.ldn souvla bar and the brighter, sleeker Oma above. 

Dishes are made for sharing and feature eclectic flavours from around the Med. I visited for my birthday lunch and it was just as delicious as expected. 

We tried... 

⭐️ Hummus, masabacha, green zhoug 

⭐️ Baba ghanoush, tahini, Jerusalem artichoke crisps 

⭐️ Wildfarmed laffa & acma verde 

⭐️ Lobster bisque borek 

⭐️ Wild red prawn giouvetsi, deep-fried prawn butter 

Everything was high quality and richly flavoured, and my favourites were the moreish dips and pillowy breads. Next time, I would order a salad or ceviche to add some freshness, as it's all rather decadent!

@bubala_london is one of my favourite spots in Spi @bubala_london is one of my favourite spots in Spitalfields for a delicious lunch. It's entirely vegetarian and every dish is packed full of flavour and intensity. 

We ordered the weekday sharing menu and feasted on: 

⭐️ Labneh, confit garlic and za'atar

⭐️ Hummus, burnt butter and pine nuts

⭐️ Halloumi with black seed honey, 

⭐️ Falafel, tahini, amba, za'atar, sumac onions

⭐️ Confit potato latkes, toum, Aleppo chilli

⭐️ Oyster mushroom skewer, tamari, coriander seed

It's such a cosy, friendly place and perfect if you love creative, moreish Middle Eastern mezze.

We visited @_thebroadchare during @newcastlene1 Re We visited @_thebroadchare during @newcastlene1 Restaurant Week and it was just as delicious as we'd hoped. 

This 'proper' pub off the Quayside has a Michelin Bib Gourmand and is known as one of the best places to eat in Newcastle. 

We enjoyed three delicious courses for just £20: 

⭐️ Spiced sweetcorn soup with brown crab toast 

⭐️ Crispy lamb scrumpets with a herb and caper relish 

⭐️ Slow-cooked pork collar with summer squash, fine beans and oregano 

⭐️ Salt cod fish cake with spinach, chickpeas, mussels and aioli 

⭐️ Chocolate mousse with raspberries and praline 

⭐️ Lemon syrup sponge with Jersey cream
 
Everything was exceptional, and I'd definitely go back and try the burger or fish and chips.

Ad | I recently explored Krakow with @jet2pics and Ad | I recently explored Krakow with @jet2pics and it's definitely one of the prettiest cities for a long weekend break. Here are some great places to see:

⭐️ The Old Town - for charming, cobbled streets and pastel-hued houses. Look out for the Main Square, Cloth Hall, Eros Bendato and Planty Park.

⭐️ Kazimierz - the vibrant former Jewish quarter known for its buzzing restaurants and nightlife.

⭐️ @mocak_krakow - two floors of contemporary art in a spectacular building in arty Zablocie.

⭐️ Maly Rynek - a picturesque square with traditional Polish street food including grilled oscypek, a smoked cheese with sheep milk from the mountains.

⭐️ Wawel Castle - Krakow's impressive Renaissance palace with art museums, state rooms and royal gardens (free to visit on Mondays).

⭐️ @mangghamuseum - a fantastic museum for Japanese arts and culture with a great cafe and views of the Vistula river.

Ad| Staying @purohotels Krakow Stare Miasto on my Ad| Staying @purohotels Krakow Stare Miasto on my trip with @jet2pics was a real treat, as it's already one of my favourite hotel brands. PURO has properties in most major Polish cities and this one didn't disappoint. 

Each hotel is individually designed and has the signature PURO social lobby lounge with a free coffee machine. This one also offers guests a free walking tour of the Old Town on Saturdays and free tickets to @mocak_krakow.

Our room was cosy with retro wood panelling, a jazzy rug, the most comfortable bed, big TV and a great bathroom with full-size products from Polish skincare brand @alba1913. 

The breakfast buffet in Hint restaurant was excellent and I loved that you could order avo toast & poached eggs or a croque madame to make it brunchy. 

With a location next to Central Station and the shiny Galeria Krakowska mall, it's the perfect choice for a city break in Krakow.
