I have just been in the amazing city of Tel Aviv and whilst I was there I visited the most incredible brunch spot, cafe Xoho which opened 8 years ago, founded by Xoli and partner Howie. Everything is handmade in house daily and all bread and cookies are baked fresh every day.  Cafe Xoho is known for its vegetarian, healthy clean food and juice bar, that tastes delicious, serves possibly the best coffee in Tel Aviv and is also known for its fantastic service. The menu includes a full range of coffee, fresh juices and vegan and vegetarian options available to all. This place is a hidden gem in Tel Aviv and one that doesn’t look much from the outside but certainly worth the visit. 

Manchester has become a hub for new restaurants and bars, but just outside of the city centre you will also find some great local cuisine. For those of you located near to Manchester I would certainly recommend Pacifica, an authentic Cantonese restaurant with tasty food and excellent service. The menu has recently changed from a book of dishes to a double sided leaflet only featuring the most popular choices. I visited recently with my family to try out the new menu.

I recently spent a few days in the beautiful city of Tel Aviv and stayed at the intimate White Villa boutique hotel. This hotel was originally a private residence since 1947 and has been transformed into an 18 bedroom luxury boutique, each room has it’s own unique character thanks to Italian designer Stefano Dorata. I’d call this place a hidden gem as you hardly notice it from the street but when you enter you realise that you have stepped into something quite special.

I am a real foodie and take breakfast very seriously! I was recently sent enough samples to last me about 6 month so after trying out the majority of the flavours I was able to write about my favourites! The thing I love about this brand is the simple and rustic packaging that offers honest, healthy breakfast cereal. Dorset have been making cereals for 27 years, (since I was born to be exact!). The range consists of granola, muesli, bircher muesli and porridge.
