Galbi Korean BBQ Restaurant - Southsea, Portsmouth, UK

Galbi Korean BBQ is a cosy restaurant in the heart of Southsea, Portsmouth. A valuable addition to this city's food scene, you can find all kinds of delicious Korean food and the joy and pleasure of using the BBQ to cook your meat in front of you. We only discovered this place a week ago, but now go there every time we have a craving for some Korean BBQ or are really hungry.

Location and Parking.

Located at 8 Albert Road, Southsea. It is a busy road with limited parking. We found parking on Albert Grove, which is a street just off Albert Road and only a short walk away from the restaurant. Note that on this road, only the permit holders are allowed to park from 0430-1830. After that, anyone can use the remaining places. The street is quite narrow so drive carefully.


Interior and Ambience.

The dining area has a very calm and enjoyable ambience, perfect for gulping down food and having conversations. The lighting is not harsh on your eyes and also allows you to see clearly the things on your table. All tables have adequate lighting and there are no dark spots.

Food and Drinks.

All the dishes that we had were good and unique. My personal favourite is the Kimchi Fried Rice. The main attraction is of course the BBQ so don't be shy and get your meats sizzling.

Sabatini Italian Restaurant - Exeter, UK

Do you have a soft spot for authentic Italian food? The pasta, pizza and lots of cheese? Then you have to pay a visit to this wonderful new kid on the block on the high streets of Exeter city: Sabatini Italian Restaurant. Read more to explore more of this new addition in town. What is Sabatini? Sabatini only opened its doors in May 2021, just a few days before we visited. We had no idea it was a brand new restaurant as we only stopped by Exeter to grab lunch during our vacation in Devon. We had no idea where to go for lunch, as all the restaurants were full since indoor dining was only just allowed in the UK. We randomly just called this place at 1pm and asked if a table was available, and to our luck there was! We felt bad for dining here with our wellington boots as it was a fine dining place :) Sabatini - Interior View Sabatini - Interior View Sabatini - Interior View Location Located in the heart of Exeter city, it is quite easy to find. Parking will not be next to the restaurant b

The Harbour Inn - Folkestone, Kent, UK

The Harbour Inn is an ideal place if you want a full course meal or just want to chill out and have a few drinks. Visited this pub on a cold and chilly afternoon just when outdoor dining was allowed again in UK. Interior Bar Area Location Located right on the harbour, it is central and easy to get to. There is a large pay and display carpark where you can park with ease and walk here in approx. five minutes.  Food and Drinks There is a wide range of food and drinks available. We wanted something warm and quick so we went for chips and a burger. We also changed our plans at the last minute and decided to do a takeaway instead of outdoor dining. The staff accommodated our request with ease with no issues. The drinks were also good. Service The service for food and drink was absolutely fine. Although, I would think that some outdoor heaters should be arranged as it was absolutely freezing to sit outside that day.

The Alchemist - Cocktail Bar and Restaurant, Liverpool, UK

Great ambience, excellent cocktails and a good night out? Then Alchemist Liverpool is a place to be. Located in Liverpool Central, this cocktail bar is a must visit for a good night out. Don't forget to book your table to save any disappointment, as this place gets booked out easily. The bar area - Alchemist, Liverpool Location Located in central Liverpool, it is quite easy to get to get to. Its a short walk from the main high street. One thing about such central location, is that it gets full easily on busy nights. Food and Drinks The specialty of this place is its cocktails, so if you want to try out some of that then you have come at the right place. Food is also great, but I was so indulged in cocktails that I totally forgot about food. You will get to mix different cocktails, which will feel like conducting a science experiment. Well worth it! Service No problems with service as it was excellent overall. Staff were super friendly and catered to us well. They asked for all our
