]]> While there’s plenty to be said for trying new things when traveling in a foreign country, we’re of the belief that there’s also no shame in sticking with activities that we already know we love. Even in the best of circumstances, traveling can be stressful, and sometimes it’s nice to just kick back and relax with a massage and a steaming hot cup of herbal tea. When this is the kind of travel we’re after, London is one of our favorite destinations, thanks to its thriving wellness culture and plethora of sustainable dining options. If you’re a fellow wellness-loving traveler, read on to learn more about some of our favorite things to do in The Big Smoke.

Eat at Farmacy

London is chock-full of plant-based eateries these days, but not many that can boast a fully seasonal, organic, biodynamic menu. For this, head to Farmacy in the West London district of Notting Hill. Along with its regular à la carte offerings, the restaurant also serves brunch on weekends and a traditional English afternoon tea on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons.

Stop by Linnaean

More than just an ordinary spa, Linnaean is a self-proclaimed “lifestyle destination” with its own apothecary and in-house cafe. From beauty treatments to bottomless brunch, the ethos of Linnaean is rooted in our relationship with the natural world, and thus, organic, non-toxic ingredients are the standard.

Relax at Re:Mind

If meditation is more your speed, be sure to stop by Re:Mind, a community healing studio in the open-air market Eccleston Yards. Since 2018, the studio has offered a variety of sound, breath, and energy work classes to tourists and locals looking to cultivate a sense of calm and well-being. With experienced teachers referred to as ‘calmers’ and class sizes of 15 people or less, Re:Mind is the perfect place to relax, recharge, and recover in peace.

]]> Great dining is about so much more than just delicious food. The ambiance of a restaurant has the potential to really make or break a culinary experience, especially while traveling. While some restaurants rely on lighting and decor, others are able to take things a step further by utilizing their natural surroundings to create dining atmospheres that seamlessly mesh with the local landscape. From mountaintops to ocean fronts, here are three global restaurants that stand out for their stunning vistas.

Restaurant at Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge

Located in the heart of the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation Area in Tanzania, the restaurant at the Ngorongoro Serena Safari Lodge offers an unparalleled view of the surrounding savannah.

]]> So much of experiencing a new city has to do with all the things you get to taste in it. Foodie or not, you want to get the most out of your culinary quest. But when visiting a place for the first time, how on Earth do you decide where to go?

Word on the Street

You have a wealth of information right at your fingertips—all you have to do is ask. Step onto the street and ask the locals for their favorite spots to eat. This method also applies to taxi drivers, tour guides, and the hotel concierge.

A Bit of Influence

We live in a digital world and that means that almost everyone with a cellphone is sharing their thoughts and experiences online. Hop onto Instagram or TikTok and let influencers guide you as you step into the world of #foodporn. 

Wander Around Wonderland

Take in the city on your own terms and let your gut be your guide. Spotted a cute little bistro on the corner? Or maybe the scent wafting out of that hole in the wall is making your mouth water? Take a walk, explore, and go wherever your stomach leads.

]]> The city of Seattle, Washington is often referred to as the Emerald City. While the nickname comes from the area’s year-round abundance of greenery, perhaps it’s no coincidence that Seattle is also a major hotspot on the vegan food scene. It’s a city well-known for sustainability and healthy living, and this extends to many of its restaurants and cafes. Whether you’re craving a hearty sandwich, some cauliflower “wings”, or a delicious bowl of soup, you’re sure to find a meal you’ll love. Here are a few of our favorite vegan Seattle eateries.

Plum Bistro

Plum Bistro offers delicious and creative vegan dishes, many of which feature plant-based protein options such a Reuben sandwich with tofu pastrami. The menu features a mix of comfort food and upscale fare, while the cozy and inviting atmosphere makes it a perfect spot for an evening out.

Harvest Beat

Harvest Beat is a fine dining restaurant with a focus on organic and locally sourced ingredients, so its menu changes often to reflect the seasons. Guests can enjoy 5-course prix-fixe meals that are designed to reduce food waste while highlighting a variety of delicious seasonal fruits and veggies.

Life on Mars

For out-of-this-world cocktails, mocktails, and bar food, be sure to check out Life on Mars. This vegan restaurant is casual enough for a night out with friends, yet cozy enough for a romantic date night. Whatever the occasion, we recommend trying the cauliflower wings with garlic-butter parmesan.

But for many years Emirati cuisine has been underrepresented in this city. This has started to shift in recent years, and an increasing number of exciting Emirati restaurants are opening across the city. Here are a few food joints every foodie needs to try when in Dubai.

Al Fanar Restaurant and Cafe

For an authentic Emirati feast with a nostalgic setting, head to Al Fanar Restaurant and Cafe. The interior is modeled on 1960s Dubai, and the menu includes a selection of traditional breakfast options and main dishes such as grilled and fried meats and fish, stews, and rice dishes.

Al Ustad Special Kabab

The Arabian Tea House

Hidden away in the courtyard of a traditional house in the historic district, the charming Arabian Tea House is a must-visit. It’s a great place for breakfast. Bread served with honey, vermicelli cooked with cardamom, and saffron with an omelet on top are just some of the options on offer.

]]> Even if you’re a total foodie who has been to some pretty nice restaurants, fine dining is a whole other experience, especially when you go to a Michelin star restaurant, which are designated as some of the best in the world. You should definitely check one out at least once in your life if you can, and there’s no better time to do it than when you’re traveling. Here are a few Michelin star restaurants around the world that are good for beginners.

Hawker Stalls, Singapore

Most people have an image in their head of Michelin star restaurants as stuffy, pricy, fancy places. But Hawker Chan Soya Sauce Chicken Rice & Noodle in Singapore is a little stall that’s actually very affordable. Lines are pretty long but it’s worth it to get a Michelin meal for just a few bucks.

Fiola Mare, Washington, D.C.

If you go to Fiola Mare in the United States’ capital city for lunch, you’ll be able to get a lunch menu consisting of an appetizer, entree, and dessert for only 38 dollars. Not bad at all for a Michelin star restaurant.

L’Antic Moli, Spain

Located in Ulldecona, Spain, L’Antic Moli serves up essential and traditional Spanish bistro cuisine for prices that are definitely reasonable, ranging from 20 to 40 euros for the bistro menus.

]]> So much of experiencing a new city has to do with all the things you get to taste in it. Foodie or not, you want to get the most out of your culinary quest. But when visiting a place for the first time, how on Earth do you decide where to go?

Word on the Street

You have a wealth of information right at your fingertips—all you have to do is ask. Step onto the street and ask the locals for their favorite spots to eat. This method also applies to taxi drivers, tour guides, and the hotel concierge.

A Bit of Influence

We live in a digital world and that means that almost everyone with a cellphone is sharing their thoughts and experiences online. Hop onto Instagram or TikTok and let influencers guide you as you step into the world of #foodporn. 

Wander Around Wonderland

Take in the city on your own terms and let your gut be your guide. Spotted a cute little bistro on the corner? Or maybe the scent wafting out of that hole in the wall is making your mouth water? Take a walk, explore, and go wherever your stomach leads.

]]> The city of Seattle, Washington is often referred to as the Emerald City. While the nickname comes from the area’s year-round abundance of greenery, perhaps it’s no coincidence that Seattle is also a major hotspot on the vegan food scene. It’s a city well-known for sustainability and healthy living, and this extends to many of its restaurants and cafes. Whether you’re craving a hearty sandwich, some cauliflower “wings”, or a delicious bowl of soup, you’re sure to find a meal you’ll love. Here are a few of our favorite vegan Seattle eateries.

Plum Bistro

Plum Bistro offers delicious and creative vegan dishes, many of which feature plant-based protein options such a Reuben sandwich with tofu pastrami. The menu features a mix of comfort food and upscale fare, while the cozy and inviting atmosphere makes it a perfect spot for an evening out.

Harvest Beat

Harvest Beat is a fine dining restaurant with a focus on organic and locally sourced ingredients, so its menu changes often to reflect the seasons. Guests can enjoy 5-course prix-fixe meals that are designed to reduce food waste while highlighting a variety of delicious seasonal fruits and veggies.

Life on Mars

For out-of-this-world cocktails, mocktails, and bar food, be sure to check out Life on Mars. This vegan restaurant is casual enough for a night out with friends, yet cozy enough for a romantic date night. Whatever the occasion, we recommend trying the cauliflower wings with garlic-butter parmesan.

]]> Dubai is famous for the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest skyscraper, and its luxurious shopping malls and complete with giant aquariums and indoor ski slopes. But for many years Emirati cuisine has been underrepresented in this city. This has started to shift in recent years, and an increasing number of exciting Emirati restaurants are opening across the city. Here are a few food joints every foodie needs to try when in Dubai.

Al Fanar Restaurant and Cafe

For an authentic Emirati feast with a nostalgic setting, head to Al Fanar Restaurant and Cafe. The interior is modeled on 1960s Dubai, and the menu includes a selection of traditional breakfast options and main dishes such as grilled and fried meats and fish, stews, and rice dishes.

Al Ustad Special Kabab

This unassuming hole-in-the-wall restaurant has already become an institution of sorts in Dubai. Located in the Al Fahidi neighborhood of Old Dubai, it has served its legendary kebabs to royals, athletes, diplomats, and celebrities.

The Arabian Tea House

Hidden away in the courtyard of a traditional house in the historic district, the charming Arabian Tea House is a must-visit. It’s a great place for breakfast. Bread served with honey, vermicelli cooked with cardamom, and saffron with an omelet on top are just some of the options on offer.

]]> Even if you’re a total foodie who has been to some pretty nice restaurants, fine dining is a whole other experience, especially when you go to a Michelin star restaurant, which are designated as some of the best in the world. You should definitely check one out at least once in your life if you can, and there’s no better time to do it than when you’re traveling. Here are a few Michelin star restaurants around the world that are good for beginners.

Hawker Stalls, Singapore

Most people have an image in their head of Michelin star restaurants as stuffy, pricy, fancy places. But Hawker Chan Soya Sauce Chicken Rice & Noodle in Singapore is a little stall that’s actually very affordable. Lines are pretty long but it’s worth it to get a Michelin meal for just a few bucks.

Fiola Mare, Washington, D.C.

If you go to Fiola Mare in the United States’ capital city for lunch, you’ll be able to get a lunch menu consisting of an appetizer, entree, and dessert for only 38 dollars. Not bad at all for a Michelin star restaurant.

L’Antic Moli, Spain

Located in Ulldecona, Spain, L’Antic Moli serves up essential and traditional Spanish bistro cuisine for prices that are definitely reasonable, ranging from 20 to 40 euros for the bistro menus.
