Lists of Places I Liked

Lunch
Rincón Antigüeño 14° 33.33′ N 90° 43.92′ W Tasty and affordable Guatemalan food. Perfect for lunch, though usually there is a line — it’s that popular.
Dinner
Toko Baru 14° 33.312′ N 90° 43.776′ W Por Qué No? 14° 33.138′ N 90° 43.866′ W This is probably the smallest restaurant I have ever been in. The ground floor is a tiny kitchen and two seats on a bar, above there is a mezzanine (you have to climb up a ladder, no space for stairs) directly under the roof where they somehow fit a few tables. Pappy’s BBQ 14° 33.312′ N 90° 44.124′ W
Cocktails
Ulew 14° 33.498′ N 90° 44.082′ W This bar has no menu — you just tell them what you like and they make something up. Sounds like a risky concept, but thanks to the skillful bartenders it works splendidly. We had the best time there and you can tell everyone working there is having tons of fun too. La Casa del Ron 14° 33.438′ N 90° 43.848′ W Even though it is basically a sales room for Guatemalan rum, they have a surprisingly good selection of cocktails.

Breakfast
The Black Salami Microbakery 37° 59.16′ N 23° 44.286′ E Their roast beef sandwich is to die for. They sell out quickly, so make sure to come early.
Lunch
Tasty Corner 37° 59.328′ N 23° 43.362′ E A down-to-earth Greek grill restaurant for the local crowd. It’s definitely a neighborhood spot — it might not be Instagram-worthy, but it’s sure to make you happy. Ekiben Kitchen 37° 58.428′ N 23° 43.962′ E My recommendation is the Soy Chicken bowl with robata grilled chicken thigh.

Dinner
Oxo Nou 37° 59.142′ N 23° 44.094′ E A restaurant close to Exarchia square that is specialized in Cretan cuisine. Everything we had there was mindblowing and we returned several times.

Drinks

Cocktails
Baba Au Rum 37° 58.644′ N 23° 43.788′ E Try the “Style It Takes”: Metaxa, aged Rhum, Italicus and Strega. The Clumsies 37° 58.734′ N 23° 43.782′ E My favorite drink off the current menu was “The Dark Side of the Moon” (Whisky, pear, strawberry, caper, rose geranium and black lemon).

Lunch
Belvárosi Disznótoros 47° 29.886′ N 19° 3.384′ E Pick a marinated meat at the counter and have it freshly grilled, then choose from a variate of sides, salads and pickles. Budapest’s equivalent to Hamburg’s “Kleine Pause”.
Cocktails

Black Swan 47° 29.946′ N 19° 3.912′ E Knock on the door to be let in. Great selection of tequila. Rumpus Tiki Bar 47° 29.976′ N 19° 3.558′ E Tiki Cocktails, done right.

Tapas
Tapas are served automatically when you order a drink in a bar in Granada. These places excel: Minotauro 37° 10.638′ N 3° 35.772′ W Los Altramuces 37° 10.386′ N 3° 35.55′ W Their diverse tapas plates are large enough that if you order two or three drinks, you won’t need dinner. La Sitarilla 37° 10.404′ N 3° 36.21′ W The exterior and interior is … challenging, but don’t be fooled: the tapas, usually a type of stew, are exceptional.
Wine
Casa de Vinos La Brujidera 37° 10.542′ N 3° 35.784′ W They have a huge list — changing daily — of wines and sherries sold by the glass. Make sure you don’t miss their food either!
Co-Living

Coffee & Breakfast
Pergamino 6° 14.478′ N 75° 35.766′ W Pergamino serves the best coffee I ever had. I am usually an Espresso guy, but their V60 pour-over is divine.
Tacos
There are so many great taco stalls in Mexico City that you probably don’t need recommendations. Nonetheless, these were our favorites: Taqueria Miranda 19° 25.656′ N 99° 9.084′ W Our favorite taqueria overall. It’s a small stall in the middle of the street, preparing different types of tacos, but their Al pastor is the best I had in Mexico. On a buffet with lots of sides you can finish off your taco to your liking. Beautifully, everything is done on a basis of trust: You eat your taco standing on the street among a diverse crowd, maybe get another one, and in the end go to a guy and tell them how many you’ve had and pay. Tizne Tacomotora 19° 25.062′ N 99° 9.348′ W Spezializing in tacos with smoked meats — which are magnificent — their charred avocado is also worth trying.

Taquitos Frontera 19° 25.134′ N 99° 9.45′ W Offering a big selection of tacos and tortas, I specifically recommend the Cochinita pibil. The Pozole is also great.

Dinner
Taverna 19° 25.794′ N 99° 9.186′ W Part of Proyecto Público Prim this restaurant is worth a visit for the interior alone, but the food and cocktails also deliver. Tirasavia 19° 25.77′ N 99° 9.12′ W Chef Allan Feldman offers farm to table food of the highest quality.

Wine
Gito 41° 9.036′ N 8° 36.864′ W Natural wine by the glass — with a daily changing selection — and good cheese. Capela Incomum 41° 8.946′ N 8° 37.074′ W An old chapel turned into a winebar.
