Tasting Spain in Knightsbridge

I went to a Spanish restaurant called L in Knightsbridge last week. There are great Spanish bars and restaurants in London and I’ve been to quite a few, but this one is really, really good.

If you want to relax, enjoy good food and feel at home, go to L. The staff is kind, the ambience relaxing, the food A-M-A-Z-I-N-G and it is a good value for money. I do recommend the “zarzuela de pescado” that I ate which was tasteful and rich. For desserts, we had a sample of four desserts (I think there were four) which was outstanding!

Go to L when you have a chance!!! Definitely planning to go back there for another terrific night out. More info: http://www.l-restaurant.co.uk

What a night!!!!

Went to ABBA concert at Hyde Park yesterday. After five years, finally went to a concert at the park on Saturday, as you know, and on the following day to see the ABBA tribute.

What a night! Even though it was extremely cold - at least for this Brazilian lady, I had loads of fun. When the Mamma Mia casting went to the stage, it was sensational. We danced and sang a lot. I danced, chatted with friends and ate the delicious food (kibbeh and sweets) from Maroush, my favourite Lebanese restaurant.

The best of the experience was going to a show and picnicking at the same time. This is something that London gives to us and this is great! I had a high-quality end of Sunday. Hope you had a good one as well.

Have a lovely week!!!!

Proms at night

Proms in the Park for the first time

We went to Proms in the Park yesterday at Hyde Park for the first time.

We prepared our picnic backpack and went to the show around 18h. The atmosphere was great, the place was full of people but with enough space for our picnic “table” and to dance with our friends.

The best performance for me was Katherine Jenkins singing Hallelujah. It was breathtaking. Loved as well when Barry Manilow song Copacabana, it was really fun. Just to give you an idea of how great it was, when we realized, it was already 22h.

I can summarise the event as a "must go" concert. I am already planning to go to the Proms next year.

Today will be the ABBA concert called Thank You For The Music... A Celebration Of The Music Of Abba at the same place where great artists will sing the best songs of ABBA. Write tomorrow to tell you how it was...

The weekend will be busy in London!!!!!

I am looking forward to go to these two amazing events that are taking place in the city this weekend: Proms in the Park and the ABBA show.

The first one will be a great experience as it is an orchestral classical music concert that happens during the summer every year in the UK. According to the wikipedia, the total number of concerts in 2009 will reach 100 for the first time. Uau!

The second event will be as great as the first one as we can enjoy ABBA songs sang by famous people such as Kylie Minogue and Chaka Khan. The event will be hosted by Chris Evans and broadcast live on Radio 2.

Will keep you informed on that. Really excited about going to these events. Think will be loads of fun as I am meeting lovely friends there. Try to tweet from there. Have a good end of Friday!
