A World of Eating

I am a traveller. I love to experience the cultures, people and food of the world. I've eaten China, Australia, Italy, Kenya, Malta, the list goes on...........I just wish I could remember all of the fantastic restaurants. Here are a couple I can specifically remember.

Aroos Damascus, Deira, Dubai 

For anyone holidaying in, working in or travelling through Dubai this is a must visit restaurant. The Lonely Planet Website currently lists this as the #237 things to do in Dubai, I disagree this is #1. My husband was introduced to this restaurant by a Syrian friend while working in Dubai. Syrian food is fantastic, ensure (insist) you get a table outside to experience the atmosphere of this Arabic favourite.  Every time we visit we are greeted like family members even though sometimes there are months between visits.

Le Bistro Du Praz, Courcheval, France

I ski a lot. As such I have enjoyed and endured cheese fondu all over the Alps and this is certainly the best. For anyone looking to experience the Three Valleys I recommend staying in a Chalet in Courcheval 1300 (Le Praz)  and eating here on your hosts night off.  We stayed in the Chalet Du Praz.

Loch Bay Seafood Restaurant, Isle of Skye 

I'm embarrassed to admit I rarely holiday in my own country, however in April 2010 I was encouraged to do so by my husband. We stayed in the beautiful Kinlochewe and visited Skye for the day. As a lover of the Lonely Planet I referred to their restaurant recommendations and we headed straight for the Loch Bay Seafood Restaurant. For me sometimes its not just about the food its about the atmosphere, the surroundings, the company and the conversation. This place was about all of the above, the food was amazing. Remember to book.

Other great food experiences I've had while traveling (the specifics of which I can't remember):

• Water beetle in Nanjng.........crunchy and tasted just like garlic and ginger, it having been cooked in garlic and ginger.

• Aligator in Nanjing......salty steak, very yum.
• Peking duck in a small restaurant in a Beijing slum. Thank goodness we had a Chinese guide would never have found it otherwise. 
• A trio of steak in a Uruguayan restaurant in Amsterdam. Amazing. A trio of steak......need I say anymore. 

There is a lot of the world left to eat and explore. Any recommendations?
