Oinomageireio Epirus

I ate at this very rustic, old-school spot inside the Athens Municipal Market to try their tripe soup. It was hardcore. Definitely something you have to try at least once. It’s not an easy flavor by modern standards. It’s a rich, fatty punch from the past, and it feels special to still have the chance to taste something like this today.

Four Legs

Four Legs is a very iconic pub near Finsbury Park. I tried their cheeseburger and it was pretty good. Maybe just a bit pricey, but for the overall ambience (very chaotic and vibey), it’s worth the visit.

Bruno e Franco

A very beautiful salumeria in the center of Bologna that offers different kinds of fresh and cured meats, cheeses, and fresh pasta. I got some tortellini, and they were delicious.

Mangal

Mangal is a very authentic and beloved kebab place near Dalston Junction Overground station. They offer a wide variety of kebabs. I got an Adana kebab: spicy minced lamb grilled on skewers, wrapped up with very simple vegetables. It was seriously good; the meat was wow. The only downside was the wrap, which was a bit chewy.

Allegra

Allegra is a restaurant and café, famous for its pastries, which have become really well-known in the city. I ate here for dinner, where they offer trattoria-style dishes with a special focus on the quality of the ingredients. I tried their tortellini in Parmigiano cream, tagliatelle with Bolognese ragù, and a guinea fowl with carrot and citrus. Especially the first two dishes were very delicate but aromatic, thanks to the excellent quality of the ingredients. I recommend this place, but not as your first approach to Bolognese cuisine. In my opinion, to lose your “virginity,” you need something rougher and more old-school.

Ruggine

Very cool spot for an interesting drink. They have their own creations and reinterpreted classics. Just by looking at the menu, you can tell it’s the kind of place I love, passion-driven. I tried the Meryl Strip, a revisited Negroni, and the Green Note, a Bloody Mary twist that really stands out.

Urfa Durum

This is the spot if you want to eat a delicious Kurdish sandwich. They’re made with fresh vegetables and skewers wrapped in freshly made pita. I had the beef skewer, and I really loved it.

WHITE Coffee

I discovered this specialty coffee spot while exploring the neighborhood. I tried their own White blend, and it was very good. Unfortunately, they didn’t have filter coffee, so I had an Americano and an espresso instead, both very aromatic.
