Fashion terrace bar in Vilnius

Posted on 24 May, 2013 by Way Away

Vasaros Projektai (Vasara terrace) in Gedimino pr. 9

Special Mojito 27 lit
Macaroni 15.90 lit
Pork with pepper crust 18.90 lit

A thousand times I’ve read “trendy place” in many guides. I am sure, I bet my passport that people have copied to others and this makes what once was fashionable when it reaches the hands of a traveler is deader than mussels that we gobbled yesterday. Indeed, the very founder of Lonelyplanet explains in his biography that in a map of one of his guides made a mistake and over 15 years later found that all other companies guides contain the same fault!

So we say today’s date: August 24, 2012. Terrace Vasara, just above Gedimino prospektas (avenue in Lithuanian), halfway between the Cathedral and Vilniaus gatvé (street). 21.30 h, filled to the brim. 85% local, 15% of tourists. Two Porsche, two Mercedes and an Audi parked down the street. The splendid terrace is as high above the stairs that double cascade.

We predict that 2015 will go down in atmosphere but looks like it stay forever as a good place in the city. And after tasting the food and its mega-mojitos. Pork fillet with black pepper crust and homemade potato chips, scrumptious. And it was still better pasta with chicken (chicken always here you will see written in English and farda more, really. Especially because in the Baltic seems to have it a little better regarded than further south. You will see that there is no letter that price has not his, even in more than one case is the signature dish).

Gedimino is the best street in the entire city well worth a walk from one end to the other. There is almost pedestrian and have our Smart Option Hotel. Right at the beginning of the Old Town and just a few meters from the trolley stop 2 which comes straight from the bus station (if you come from Riga) and two blocks from bus 2 that brings you to the airport. More not ask!

Best Kanelbulle in Stockholm

Posted on 23 May, 2013 by Way Away

Saturn, Eriksbergsgatan 6

In Stockholm cafes all you can taste is the famous Kanelbulle as long as they still have one … (no wonder after an hour they are finished). And the truth is, more or less, everywhere is fine! Only sometimes (very few …) in ordinary cafes give you the one made the day before. And yes it looks like…

In any case, if you just love the Kanelbulle invention (you will not be the first …) and want to know which site to try the “best”, do not fail to go to Saturn. It is a little ways away from the center but will be just a couple or three streets. In all rankings that make the Saturn Swedes themselves always comes first. The funny thing is that very few guides (almost none actually …) include it. Never ceases to amaze how others make guides…

Best restaurant in Lençóis in the Chapada Diamantina

Posted on 22 May, 2013 by Way Away

The Jamiro in Rua da Baderna, n. 60

A couple of blocks from the center of town, up on one side or the other, will reach the Rua da Baderna. For all these streets have restaurants to give and take, most very cute, as you can find in cities like Antigua, Cuzco or Kathmandu. It seems that all these sites have in common. Tourist towns or cities that are empty during the day because people only sleep there as toll for hiking, trekking or see the monuments around. So, at night have had to reinvent and have chosen to do it all well. And this also costs choose. In other posts I discussed Lençóis other restaurants but our favorite is definitely The Jamiro.

When you get to the Chapada Diamantina, and usually takes a few days for Brazil. And, if not, you’ll end up going because it is the main destination of this wonderful country, so if you are here is because sooner or later you will have also gone to Iguaçu, Rio de Janeiro, Jericoara, Fernando de Noronha, Morro Bay , Pipa, Amazon or Maranheses Lençóis. So you will be sick or have gone the typical dishes being accompanied by beans, white rice and salad. If you want to change or vary the Jamiro in Lençóis is a good place and time to do so. They take about Argentine kids and although the cooks are from here, the taste is still there. Pray for the graellada of meat (beef special mix) for 60 R $ for two. Beef, pork, chicken and sausage made ​​chimichurri sauce and served in the same pan where you cook so you can end up with the last drop of salsita. Accompanied by a first sweet potato fries, rice and scented only would a plate and possibly what stays shorter, a plate of salad with no mystery.

Although desiertan of recommending themselves, the Brazilian merlot served by the glass has a fruity point you will like. And if not, your fridge Heineken is to serve the coldest beer in Chapada. Argentine and Chilean wines that have them, and good, they will price some thinking that we are in the middle of a big city.

For dessert I insist for you to try their special chocolate brownie with sorbet made ​​with local fruit. The look is amazing but let’s be honest, it’s nothing fancy. And 13 R $, better go away to one of the two places to finish off the evening with a caipirinha!

Where to have breakfast in Oslo

Posted on 21 May, 2013 by Way Away

Bakeri in Parkveien Apent No. 27, Oslo

Baguette Gratin 73 kr
Bacon Egg og 89 kr

Of those sites that when you find it before you sit down and you’re happy. Full of local people, nice light, glass windows everywhere, semi open kitchen, cooking odor and great dishes.

Do not forget to try the eggs with bacon and beans. I know it’s a typical English breakfast and right now sitting in front of a computer does not crave a lot … But after having given a bike ride in Oslo (in the Way Away planner will explain how to rent public bicycles and what route do ), sure some of you will be cold draft in the body and I come to wonder!

Best traditional restaurant in Bruges

Posted on 20 May, 2013 by Way Away

Terraijse, Genthof street, Bruges

Out of all the hubbub of foreigners, next to one of the channels, with a simple but nice terrace, overlooking the river and surrounded by worthwhile streets, or that it’s for a moment what it must be Bruges before tourists smash it, find the restaurant Terraijse.

With more than 45 different beers for choosing not be. While dining, we recommend one of their dishes: the Waterzool. A sort of soup with cream base that can be with chicken or fish. I know that sounds horrible and man is the best Iberian ham but atreveros more than one dip bread. I will go for 16 € (if there are two ask you just one dish, cutting more and more that you will have leftovers). And if not, have it all: lasagna with meat or fish, shrimp croquettes, omelets, …

Best cafeteria in Prague

Posted on 19 May, 2013 by Way Away

Coffee Lovers in Kaprova 9

As if your hotel does not include breakfast, the Coffee Lovers is a great place to stop for a cappuccino (in Prague always do very little milk and coffee, warning sailors) and one of its hot panninis. More if you can sit outside on their deck. It is also just two blocks from the Old Town Square, but as is to the Jewish quarter here the streets are much quieter. Recommended the chicken, roast beef and mozzarella with pesto. Even the spicy salami. Come on, any of them will leave you dissappointed. So much so that even the waitresses do not seem so unfriendly and often throughout Prague. Although they are, and that they do not have to come to take note because you have to ask in the box. But Prague is Prague and no self-respecting guide not make it clear that here, as much as you always remember that the tip is not included, few earn it with a smile.

Where to drink good Caipirinhas in Jericoacoara

Posted on 18 May, 2013 by Way Away

Barraca do Socorro on Rua Principal

At the end of Main Street coming to the praia, find all the huts where you can find caipirinhas and other mixtures. Depending on the seasons of 6-10 carts and counting ….

The price is the same in all. Depending on the type of alcohol and fruit, will set you back from 3-6 R $ (1.2 to 2.4 €). The most typical of Jericoacoara is the passionfruit caipirinha but today everyone asks all (tangerine, pineapple, also caipiroska, …), so yourselves what you like more.

In Noite Sorriso, looking at the right praia almost coming to an end are good but still better in the Barraca do Socorro (at the beginning, right hand down) our favorite!

The best Beer-park in Budapest

Posted on 17 May, 2013 by Way Away

Di-Wine, right in front of St. Stephen’s Basilica (Szt Istyán bazilika)

In another post we told you that the people of Budapest like buns and cakes candy more than a child. But one thing I still like more: the party. And it will give the wine and beer they can. Budapest is like a big bottle, wherever you go, in all places, parks, gardens, etc. people find giving the bottle, all colors and all flavors. The most massive beer-park you will find it in the place of Daek. But more in, especially among tourists, is chargeable. The Di-Wine, right in front of St. Stephen’s Basilica (Szt Istyán bazilika), near Deák tér, is a cocktail bar where people takes glasses and drink them in front of the fountain.

Where to dine on a terrace in Curitiba

Posted on 16 May, 2013 by Way Away

The Farm, Rua Claudino dos Santos, Curitiba

Strogonoff de Mignon 29,50 R$ (12 €)
Petisco The Farm 52,50 R$ (17 €)

With all well placed restaurants in Curitiba, one ends up wanting to just sit on a terrace to enjoy a cold beer. If you ask the better, you may tell the German Tavern, behind the cathedral. Do not even think, unless you want to get drunk before drinking. Just the smell of the wet wood with alcohol can destroy you…

Instead, a little above the street on the right, find an elevated terrace. This is “the place to be”. This rua is the liveliest of all Curitiba and that’s saying a lot, but in The Farm you can drink and eat taste even better. If you are a number, do not miss the “petisco The Farm”, a dish to nibble and share with beef, ribs, etc … and chips. And if you want something more, the mignon stroganoff is to drink the sauce!

To drink, if you will last night, ask for a bucket of beers. So now you will be a real curitibenses!

Norman tapas restaurant in Paris

Posted on 15 May, 2013 by Way Away

Aux pipalottes gourmandes, 49 Rue de Rochechouart

A special place that few you will boldly enter. Looks more like a doll shop not a restaurant. His specialty covers Norman. The all you will see in the window. Try the combination Je ne mange du poisson from 16.50 €, fish stuff like octopus, anchovies and others. But if you have a little more hungry from 15.50 € have daily specials, the penis with pine nuts, risotto or vegetable lasagna or moussaka.
