Mezepoli

So yesterday, Sunday we went to an amazing Greek restaurant...I am honest...Greek mains are not my favourite type of food...but Tapas I love...so if there is a wide variety of Tapas...I am def in.....so my mom has been talking about this Greek tapas restaurant in Melrose Arch called Mezepoli, she said it is really amazing....but before I comment on it I decided to check it out myself...so Sunday lunch was the day....

WOW.....she was not exaggerating, the menu is fab.....all Tapas and about 5 mains (including Souvlaki, Yiro, baby chicken, fillet and lamb chops), we looked at the Greeks next to us and decided to go the traditional route.....for starters we ordered some Pita breads (both the thin and the traditional kind...I never knew there were two)....with some dips and jalapenos....and of course haloumi (deep fried), the jalapenos were my least favourite of the entire day...the other tapas fab! After that we ordered in drips and drabs and the waiters were great we could order one or two tapas at a time they always came and checked on us (and i must also say the restaurant was packed)......great....some of the Tapas that stood out for me were the grilled calamari, the deep fried baby marrows with gruyere and of course the haloumi....but they were all good....and next time there are so many more i would love to try.....really worth a visit if you enjoy the casual sharing type food.....we sat there drinking Kir Royals and just tasting all the various foods.....amazing!

Podere il Casale

Beautiful place near Monticchiello in the Southern Tuscany. My parents, together with Mutti and Sofia went there whilst Kim and I were in Corsica. They raved about it, stating that it was Swiss owned and they met the couple who owns and runs it. They are actively involved and so are their children. Their food is produced on the farm, they are famous for their Pecorino cheese. They also offer Pizza and bread courses, camping etc etc....in fact i was really looking forward to visiting this place. They have outdoor and indoor seating but i must say the outdoor seating cannot be compared to the indoor hall. The outside is quaint, picturesque and has breath-taking views. There is quite a long dirt road following up to Podere il Casale....its not so easily found. The sign at the entrance is also not too good. Once we parked a beautiful sign welcomed us....let me share a pic... Podere il Casale As mentioned the place was quaint and picturesque with beautiful laid tables....and a fabulous vi...
