Restaurant Il Giardino, Podgorica

Advantages: OTTIMO
Disadvantages: NULLI

...Tempo fa scattai alcune foto della mia famiglia a Trieste con sullo sfondo il castello di Miramare. Chissà quanti lettori di CIAO COM avranno fatto altrettanto; foto ricordo del genere vengono scattate in continuazione in molti luoghi così anche in questo splendido parco, meta di migliaia di turisti ogni anno. Io, personalmente, però, mancavo di qualcosa: portavo a casa le immagini impresse sulla pellicola, ma senza conoscere alcun cenno storico di questo bel luogo vicino Trieste. In seguito ho scoperto che il castello di Miramare fu costruito su progetto di Carl Junke tra il 1855 e il 1860 su comissione dell'arciduca di Austria Massimiliano d'Asburgo che, nel 1850 a 18 anni voleva farsi "una casa" con giardino nei pressi di Schonbrun, ma poi, cambiando idea, acquistò il promontorio nei pressi della baia di Grignano (TS).

We read delicious menus outside restaurants and planned where we would eat that night. Facing the Giardino Pubblico is the massive 16th century Torre di Porta Terra, also known as the Jewish tower after the builders.

Disadvantages: only a teeny tiny one - read and find out!!

...On the first night of our recent visit to York we ventured out to find somewhere to eat as the hotel was a tad expensive for us commoners! When we entered the city walls we asked the first people we met where the best area/restaurant was to eat. Both of them immediately answered Akbars, an Asian restaurant, which luckily was just around the corner on George Hudson Street. They also gave us options for Chinese and Mexican food but both of them were adamant that Akbars was the best. We walked round to the restaurant and had a look at the menu outside the front door. As I'm a vegetarian I need to ensure that any restaurant I visit is going to have a good selection of meals for me to choose from and not just one or two veggie options. There was a very large amount of meals for me to choose from and we happily went inside... Read review
