Heading for Mallorca this spring? The following six bars and terraces in Palma have all been recommended by our friends at The Fundación Turismo Palma de Mallorca.
According to a study by OpenTable, we each spend more than £4,000 on eating out every year. We also love our short breaks. No wonder restaurants with rooms are a growing trend. Here are five of the best to tempt you.
Afternoon tea has come a long way since the 7th Duchess of Bedford reputedly invented it as a way to bridge the hunger gap between luncheon and dinner. These days it’s a way for top pastry chefs to demonstrate their skills. Here’s where to find London’s most imaginative afternoon teas this spring.
It’s January. The month for watching what we eat and allowing nothing stronger than fruit juice to pass our lips. But that doesn’t mean we will be giving up our predilection for smart London hotels – here are five, including La Suite West above, that will leave us positively glowing with health.
Just before Christmas I took my eldest goddaughter to Narnia. But there were no lions, witches or wardrobes: our Narnia was the terrace bar of the Hyatt Regency Churchill hotel, transformed into C S Lewis’s magical world for the festive season. Instead of Aslan the lion, we had a life-size bronze of Sir Winston Churchill which someone had thoughtfully dressed in a woolly hat and scarf.
At Spain’s hottest new restaurant there are two tasting menus: Menú Disfrutar and Menú Festival. Festival, says our waiter, gives a more complete sense of the restaurant’s story. It also happens to have 25 courses. So to give us a sporting chance of finishing our lunch, we opt for the abridged version, the 18-course Menú Disfrutar, and mentally loosen our belts
Much as I love Kensington, nobody could say it excels at delicious restaurants. But there is one place that’s exceptional – and here’s what’s surprising for an area overrun with tycoons and oligarchs – really rather cosy.
The UK might not be known for its rooftop terrace bars, but we’re getting there. London now has a great selection – from the hip Queen of Hoxton in Shoreditch to the urban Frank’s in Peckham – and every year a few more open around the country. Here are six of our current favourites, all chosen for their mellow, laid-back vibe rather than their party atmosphere – we’ll leave the Queen of Hoxton and Franks for another day.
Great John Street, Manchester
Great John Street is a Victorian schoolhouse in the centre of Manchester, transformed into a hip townhouse hotel by Eclectic Hotels.
Now the days are getting warmer, it’s time to dig out the wicker basket and retrieve the picnic rug from the dog’s basket. Alternatively, you could check into a hotel and dine alfresco with a little more style. To inspire you, our friends at Pride of Britain Hotels have teamed five of the best hotel picnics with five idyllic picnic spots.
Airds Hotel & Restaurant, Appin, Argyll
The Airds’ Homemade Hamper (from £30 for two) is packed with local treats: choose from a range of sandwiches (cucumber, Scottish beef and horseradish, Inverawe smoked salmon, Isle of Mull cheese and chutney), homemade fruit cake and shortbread, vegetables crisps, fruit and a flask of tea or coffee (from £30 for two).
Chocolate breaks
The Chocolate Boutique Hotel in Bournemouth offers a whole range of chocolaty treats and weekends, but the ultimate chocolate hotel has to be the Boucan, set among cacao groves in St Lucia. Owned by chocolatiers Hotel Chocolat, Boucan offers 14 sumptuous rooms, a cacao-inspired menu and even a cacao-themed spa (as all chocolate-lovers know, cacao is bursting with antioxidants and minerals).
