Last week we were kindly invited to Bath Brew House for a Thanksgiving Beer & Food matching night. The evening consisted of hearty, home-cooked food with home brewed ales to match. 

Interestingly, although Thanksgiving is known to be an American holiday, it actually started in England! I know, I was surprised too. It dates back to the Protestant Reformation to give thanks for the harvest. Nowadays, it's celebrated mostly by North Americans, to celebrate all that they are thankful for and to gather round the table to eat some yummy food. 

And that's exactly what we did. We were joined by around twelve other guests including some Americans who had dressed up with turkey hats to get into the Thanksgiving spirit. 

Bath has a new 100% plant-based, eco-conscious cafe called Roots & Shoots 

Last Thursday we were incited to their opening party and we then went back earlier this week to try one of their lunch options. 

If you're a massive fried chicken fan then you've probably heard of Absurd Bird, a chicken shack with a Deep Southern feel

Angelina is one of the most famous cafés in Paris. 

Famous for what exactly? Beautiful interiors incorporating Parisian elegance and charm and (let's be honest, the main reason that we went) their hot chocolate 🍫☕️

Their famous "African" hot chocolate is made from three different kinds of cocoa from Niger, Ghana and the Ivory Coast...

The Winter Wonderland at The Bird Hotel (map below) is open today!

They've got a bunch of different festive drinks and seasonal food in a super cute, whimsical setting.

The whole venue has cosy vibes everywhere - woodland branches, fairy lights, tables with candles and blankets to keep you cosy (how has it dropped to 0 degrees today?!)

You may have walked past it on your way up to Alfred Street and The Circus before, but there's a light, airy Italian-inspired cafe within the concept store The Loft named Cafe Lucca.

Having just finished our final year university exams, we were kindly invited by the Cafe Lucca team to celebrate.
