indulge yourself to some holiday food

This is what we ordered at the restaurant by the seaside in Barcelona: seafood paella with muscles and lobsters and other seafood as well that I don't know the name of. Paellas from Spain are the best and I would go back again and again to Spain because of their amazing paellas.

The breakfast we had at one of the cafes in France before we left: hot chocolate and croissant with butter and sugar. If you are going to France you can't not have croissants. The French are known for their amazing bread and their famous croissants and so you just have to taste for yourselves like we did, and we were definitely satisfied with their wonderful soft puffy croissants.

This is dish is what my mother/father ordered at one of the hotel restaurants we stayed in, in France. I don't exactly know what it is called but it is either massive shrimp/lobster without skin on top of salad and sauce.

This is what I ordered from the same hotel restaurant. It is beef with cream sauce (that I don't exactly know of the contents), roasted small potatoes and some salad on the side. It was really good and filling and I would love to have it some time again.

Typical American or British food that perhaps everyone has tasted before: chicken with fries/chips from one of Benidorm's restaurants.

Amazing cool coke lemon drinks from one of the restaurant in Benidorm that we dined in.


I dont exactly know what this is but Im pretty sure that the top bits are nuggets/chicken with salad at the bottom and orange cheese. Anyway, this was ordered by my dad at the Pizzeria Avanti restaurant from Benidorm.

Fish with salad and tomato for side dish ordered by my dad from a seaside restaurant in Benidorm.

The pasta with tomato sauce and garlic bread dish that my sister ordered at the same restaurant (seaside restaurant from Benidorm)

Our drinks from the seaside restaurant from Benidorm.

The hotel's breakfast that was free from the hotel we stayed in, in Benidorm. The bacon looks a little fatty but they were good. There were other more options but this is pretty much what I chose for everyday. There were: toasts, cereal and many more breakfast choices.

A more closer look to the paella we ordered from Barcelona (very 1st picture).

The anchovies starter dish from one of the restaurants we dined in, in Benidorm. It also had lemons with it to add to that salty taste and give it that hint of sourness with the fish.

One of the Chinese dishes that we ordered from the Chinese restaurant we dined in, in Barcelona. I don't really know why we dined in in a Chinese restaurant when were at a Spanish country, I think it might be because it was cheap and it was one of the nearest restaurants from our hotel.

Another one of the Chinese dishes that we ordered from the restaurant.

Chicken wings, thighs and other h'orderves from a restaurant in Barcelona near Sagrada de Familia. We ordered these to help us keep going for the next hours as we were on our way to Sagrada de Familia and we knew that we were going to be taking pictures and be there to look at and analyse the creation for hours.

Another picture of the h'orderves from a Barcelona restaurant.

I don't exactly know what this dish is but Im supposing they are strips of onion rings but instead of rings they are in strips. There's also the bread and fried meat of some sort and salad. I definitely know this is from Benidorm though.


Carbonara pasta that my sister ordered for her brunch whilst we were in Barcelona. This is pretty much what she ordered for the rest of the days we were in Barcelona. The restaurant was one of the nearest restaurants that were there from our hotel besides the Chinese retaurants. The restaurant was also more like a pasta restaurant so my sister didn't want to miss the chance of ordering her favourite pasta dish: Carbonara, whilst me on the other hand ordered a different one everyday so I could indulge in the different types and tastes available.

The dessert that my mother ordered from the restaurant Buffalo Grill in France. Buffalo Grill seems to be a famous restaurant because we saw atleast 5 as we were travelling through France to Spain.

The h'orderves from Buffalo Grill.

The salmon and rice dish that my mum ordered from Buffalo Grill. I don't know what the sauce is but looking at the picture it looks like it might be mustard or cheese with herbs, etc.

The grilled beef with chips and sauce that my dad ordered from Buffalo Grill.

The chilled ham and corn with olives and salad from one of the shops in France.

The pasta we ordered from one of the restaurants in Paris France when we stopped over there for a while. This dish was probably the best pasta dish I have ever tasted and seeing it was from Paris, France, that shouldn't be a suprise.

This year we will be going back to Paris France and exploring the centre more than the last time we were there. We didn't even see the Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triumph when we went to Paris. But this time we definitely will see the famous creations. And I would definitely take more pictures of the food we will be eating everyday and everytime and also the restaurants itself.
