What a way to kick off a new project.

I’m Max, and I love food... maybe a little too much 🤭

We recently visited @___omos, and it was pure magic. The moment you arrive, you’re able to completely detach from the outside world and just reset.

What I fell in love with most is their commitment to local roots; from Irish artists and designers shaping the space to fresh produce sourced right from their garden and local farmers.

Huge thanks to the @___omos team for hosting us and going above and beyond to make our stay so relaxing and #delicious. We will definitely be seeing you again soon! 🙌

A while back, @_dirtyolive_ invited @owwy and me, to something truly special a pop-up dining experience by @quinta.an 🕯️🍷

The concept is pure magic: an intimate setting featuring one long communal table where strangers quickly become friends. You get to discover stunning hidden locations, meet the most interesting people, and enjoy incredible food along the way.

From the coastal view to the beautifully executed multi-course menu (featuring stunning dishes like Scarpinocc with Bún Bò Huế influences and Seabass Crudo), every detail was spot on. Huge respect to the talent in that kitchen! 👨‍🍳✨

Because @quinta.an runs as an exclusive 2-night pop-up, you really have to keep your eyes peeled on their page for their next announcement. Gutted we missed the last edition, but you can definitely count us in for the next one!

Thank you to the entire team at @quinta.an for an unforgettable evening.

💬 Would you attend a communal pop-up dinner like this, or do you prefer private tables? Let me know in the comments below! 👇

Prepping for cold season can never start early enough! 🌿🔥

Fire cider is an absolute staple for immune-boosting season. You let it steep in the cupboard, and in a few weeks, you have a potent, magical tonic ready to go. Take 1–2 tablespoons daily, mix it into warm water with a touch of honey, or drizzle it over breakfast!

Ingredients for a 3L Jar (@kilneruk ):

- 1/2 red onion
- 1 organic lemon, 1 organic lime & 1 organic orange (sliced)
- 5–7 garlic cloves
- 1 cinnamon stick, 2–3 star anise & 6 whole cloves
- 1.5 tbsp whole black peppercorns
- Fresh rosemary & fresh thyme
- Generous knob of fresh ginger & fresh turmeric
- 2 fresh red chilies (for more spice use a habanero)
- apple cider vinegar ( I used one withe the vinegar mother)

Method:
1. Pack all your fresh ingredients and spices into the jar.
2. Pour over enough apple cider vinegar to completely submerge everything.
3. Use a fermentation weight to keep all ingredients submerged under the vinegar level.
4. Seal and store in a dark, cool spot for 4 to 6 weeks.
5. Strain out the solids, bottle your liquid gold, and you’re fully prepared for winter!

After returning from Cyprus, it was time to explore more of Ireland again! ☘️🌊

We took a day trip out of Dublin City centre to Skerries for a coastal walk along the harbor. Following a friend’s recommendation, we stopped into @bluebarskerries ⁠ for a feast and they definitely delivered!

Buffalo Wings: Absolutely unreal Louisiana-style wings with blue cheese dip. 🍗🔥

Crispy Onion Rings & Fries: The perfect sides to round out the meal. 🧅🍟

Beyond their famous wings, they serve fresh Dublin Bay Prawns and locally caught Irish Lobster. If you head to Skerries, put a stop at Blue Bar on your list, and grab a sweet treat after from @goatintheboat ⁠or @storminateacup_x ! 🍦☕

On one of our last evenings in Paphos, we lucked out and managed to get a walk in to the hidden gem: @koutourou_cy ! 🏺✨

The ambiance here is so special it feels like sitting in a cosy front garden at a friend’s home. Located in a quiet square in the old town, away from the main tourist crowds, it offers such a relaxed, authentic vibe.

The team at Koutourou was wonderful, walking us through their daily changing menu and giving fantastic recommendations:

Oven-Baked Halloumi: Definitely order this! The pairing with local Cypriot honey is phenomenal. 🧀🍯

Savory “Saragli”: Crispy rolled phyllo pastry packed with aged minced beef, roasted almonds, and hot honey. Hands down one of the best dishes of the whole trip!

Fantastic service, incredible local flavors, and unbelievable value for money. Put Paphos on your food travel list and add this spot to your itinerary ASAP! ✈️🍴

If you’re in Paphos, @upon.cy ⁠is an absolute must visit! 🍽️✨

During our recent trip to Cyprus, we had an amazing dinner at Upon, the restaurant nestled inside the stunning @mboutiquehotel ⁠. Headed by Greece’s youngest Michelin-starred chef, @grigoriskikis ⁠, the menu blends local island ingredients with subtle Asian influences.

My personal favourite was actually the simplest: a fresh tomato starter with creamy burrata and fresh herbs. 🍅🧀

But also the tuna tataki should not be underestimated with that nice pistachio crust and the yuzu ponzu 🐟🍋

For dessert, they served a playful banana dish that instantly brought Banksy’s famous artwork to mind! 🍌🎨

A huge shoutout to the incredible staff as well. Their warm hospitality and attentive service truly made the evening unforgettable.

If you love specialty coffee, this is your new spot in Paphos! ☕🎶

⁠Stumbled upon @meliandco.paphos⁠ while on holiday here, and it was such a great find. They are bringing Australian specialty coffee culture right to Cyprus! Think clean, minimalist design, super friendly faces, and an amazing vinyl record collection that gives the whole space the feel of an intimate listening bar.

The coffee is roasted locally right here on the island. Whether you go for a classic espresso or try their Mont Blanc like we did a smooth cold brew topped with whipped cream, orange zest, and a little secret ingredient 😉 you can feel the love and attention to detail in every cup.

They’ve just opened their doors, so if you’re in Paphos, definitely pop in for top-tier coffee and immaculate beats. I’m completely in love with this place.

Mic drop. 🎙️💥

If @reggies.dublin isn’t on your Dublin food list yet, add it immediately! 🍕🔥

We dropped by a few days ago without a reservation, gave our luck a shot as walk-ins, and snagged two seats right at the counter. Honestly, sitting at the counter is the best seat in the house.

Watching the team work with so much joy and genuine passion even when the place is absolutely packed says everything about the energy here. They truly love what they do, and you can taste it in every single bite!

What makes Reggie’s so special is that, by Dublin standards, it’s genuinely super affordable. It’s easily one of the best spots in town to drop by for a spontaneous dinner or date night under €50 total for two

Here’s what we ordered:
🧀 Cacio e Pepe Arancini: Unreal levels of creaminess. A absolute must-order!
🧀 Mozzarella Sticks: Super crispy on the outside, ultra-stringy on the inside.
🍕 ’Nduja, Ricotta & Hot Honey Pizza: The ultimate sweet-and-spicy combo that rounds off the meal perfectly.

The best part? Everything is ideal for sharing, so you can try a little bit of everything on the menu. 🤭

Accidentally went a little overboard at @fallonandbyrne ⁠... 🥖🧀🍷

After seeing Zak from @fallonandbyrne⁠ talk about their Italian Charcuterie Week, I knew I had to drop by. Walking in without a strict shopping list was my first mistake holding back in here is nearly impossible!

As a German, finding serious, top-tier bread is always a priority for me, and their seeded sourdough is easily one of the best in Dublin.

Here’s what made it into the haul:
🥩 The Charcuterie: Truffle salami from @anticamacelleriafalorni ⁠ & Bresaola from @villanisalumi
🧀 The Cheeses: French Truffled Brie, Delice de Bourgogne, & 24-month aged Comté
🥖 The Bakery: Freshly baked seeded sourdough loaf
🍅 The Accoutrement: Tomato & Chilli Chutney from @cartwright_butler

I always struggle not to overbuy in here, but honestly, I think this spread turned out perfect.

Is it worth the queue at @morso.ie ? 🥪✨

I know they’ve been open for a while now, but every time I head there, I get so focused on devour-mode that I always forget to post!
Short, sweet, and simple answer: YES. It is 100% worth joining the line.

So far, I’ve tried:

The Porchetta: Built with incredible pork from @higgins_butchers ⁠.

The Chicken Parm: Perfectly balanced flavors, crisp layering, and ridiculously fresh pesto.

@owwy and I love grabbing one of these masterpieces on a sunny Dublin afternoon, pairing it with a live soda from @drinkallabout ⁠, and soaking in the city vibes.
If you’re wandering through Dublin City Centre and spot that bright yellow storefront, jump in line! The queue moves super fast, and the reward is unreal.
